Linux/UNIX fundamentals
This course gives a general introduction to UNIX and to Linux. It applies to all UNIX variants (AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, macOS, ...) and all Linux distributions (Red Hat, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, zLinux, ...).
The course mainly treats the user aspects of the operating system, not so much the system aspects. In addition to basic topics like the file system and the shell, and conceptual similarities and differences with other operating systems, it mainly focuses on the basic UNIX command set. Part of the course is dedicated to a sufficiently in-depth treatment of the vi editor. An important amount of time is spent on practical exercises.

9/10. Voor mij als Scrum Master ging de cursus wellicht iets te diep. Maar verder prima cursus!

Kris heeft alles duidelijk en op een boeiende manier weten te vertellen. Hij heeft er ook wat leuks van gemaakt zodat het beter te behappen is. Zeer positieve ervaring.

Heel interessant, perfect op mijn niveau. Het idee van 8 halve dagen stond me ook erg aan.
