Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Linux is the backbone of most servers, supercomputers, and embedded systems in use today. For beginners stepping into tech, learning Linux is essential due to its widespread adoption, open-source nature, and flexibility. Whether you’re an aspiring developer, system administrator, or tech enthusiast, understanding how Linux works provides a strong foundation for a successful tech career. This course demystifies Linux for those with zero prior experience, helping learners navigate, manage, and utilize Linux effectively in real-world scenarios.

This course begins with guiding you through installing Linux using VirtualBox and dual boot methods, customizing the Ubuntu desktop, and getting comfortable with the system interface. You'll then dive into the Linux Command Line Interface (CLI), learning essential commands, file operations, permissions, and package management. The course progresses into advanced CLI usage including crontab, system services, and process management. It also explores Linux development tools such as GitHub, Eclipse, and PyCharm. You'll build a real web development project using Meteor.js, then configure a Linux web server stack with Apache, PHP, and MySQL. The course concludes with Linux user management and network administration using SSH, SFTP, traceroute, and Nmap.

By the end of this course, learners will have practical Linux skills, from installation to development, server management, and networking essentials.
