*IT Engineering course on Linux *
Why learn linux?
From cloud servers to small devices, from routers to smart cars, from telecom to small robots - almost everything runs on linux.
The most popular operating system today is Linux - youtube runs on linux servers, netflix runs on linux and in fact 96% of the top 1 million websites are run on linux.
We are pushing most of our infrastructure into the cloud today and the cloud data centers and the servers there run on linux. Not just the servers but even routers and switches and other networking equipment runs on linux.
But that is not all - not only do most servers run on linux - even most smart devices and smart cars like tesla runs on flavors of linux. Your android phone’s OS is pretty much linux.
But linux is scary to learn at first. There is no friendly graphical user interface to operate it. But that is precisely why you should gain this valuable skill.
Because it is scary, there is an entry barrier to it and not many people learn it - and this makes linux skills more valuable. With such a high demand and low supply of skills there is a shortage of linux professionals in the job market and in the freelance market.
If you put linux on your resume for any IT job - even a job that requires programmers - you will stand apart from the crowd. You will instantly be a premium candidate for the job.
*Who is the course for:*
1
Developers - today the IT development scene has changed a lot - no longer can you be a developer alone since the earlier system of hiring separate sys admins and separate developers is over. Companies now hire people with devops skills, i.e. now developers have to understand the operating system on which their code will run - which is linux in more than 96 percent of the cases. They now need to deploy their own apps on servers and be able to troubleshoot deployment issues - and linux becomes a skill that they just cannot do without.
2
Budding engineers and back end developers
3
Makers of embedded systems and automation systems running on appliances and other hardware like raspberry pi (which also runs on a linux flavor)
4
Network engineers - most routers, switches and other networking equipment runs on linux and now the networking world is moving towards open networking which heavily relies on the usage of standard linux instead of proprietary linux that used to be installed on equipment. CISCO, NVIDIA, ASUS and many other equipment vendors are now totally focussed on making their equipment more open by running standardised and documented versions of linux.
*Course contents:*
The course is entirely hands-on and you will not be just learning the theory but do the course in a practical way in our advanced linux lab
