Free online Linux courses
that are either affiliated or not, generally offer self-study material
and do not provide academic credits. Some of the material that we bring
to you today is offered through schools' OpenCourseWare (OCW) projects
and can be found in PDF, video and screenshots formats.
Though
content is usually directed towards first time users of Linux systems,
the IBM and the University of California at Davis' offerings cater to
intermediate users. Students may need to have access to their own
computers running Linux in order to complete some lessons.
1. Building Dynamic Websites at Harvard University
This
online OCW course covers the knowledge needed to build a website.
Consisting of various video lectures, this tutorial instructs
individuals on how to build a website using Linux, as well as various
other frameworks. Students learn how to set up domains, design
databases, program with Java and build web pages using CSS (cascading
style sheets) and XHTML (extensible hypertext markup language). There
are sample projects in PDF format.
3. Computational Physics at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
The
focus of this course is to teach students how to do physics
calculations using a computer as a calculator. They also learn Java
programming in a Linux environment. Through external website links, this
online course teaches students about using algorithms and working
within the Linux operating system.
4. The Embedded Linux Quick Start Guide through YouTube
The
free tutorial, which lasts less than an hour, provides learners with an
introduction to the Linux environment. Narrated by Chris Simmonds at a
2010 Embedded Linux Conference Europe, this video is the first in a
3-part series on Linux. Students learn the four basic elements of Linux:
toolchain, boot loader, kernel and user space.
5.Introduction to Linux at the University of South Carolina
A
simple introductory tutorial of slides in PDF format, this course
material shares basic information about what Linux is, the different
versions - or distributions - available, and how to use it. Files,
folders, pages, commands and writing script are some of the topics and
tools this course covers.
6. The Linux Effect: 20th Anniversary at The Open University
Offered
as an online podcast training, the Linux Effect offers information on
the Linux operating system and how it's advanced through the years.
Students learn the origin of Linux, how Linux is used in our daily lives
and the connection between Linux and cloud computing. Students need a
PDF viewer, such as Adobe Reader, to complete this course.
7. LPI Exam 201 Prep: Linux Kernel at IBM
In
this free tutorial series, users prepare for the Linux Professional
Institute Intermediate Level Administration (LPIC-2) Exam 201. The first
tutorial guides students through the components, compiling, patching
and customizing of a Linux kernel. Other topics in the series include
system maintenance, web services, hardware and troubleshooting.
