Course Structure - This course has two types of Lectures. Guided Videos and Text Lectures:
Guided Videos are a visual step-by-step guide to the commands run and what they do. This is so you can follow along and quickly perform the tasks.
Text Lectures will include all the commands run in the video lectures, and also include some additional information as needed. This way you can refer back to the text without having to watch the entire video again just to find one section.
Course Requirements:
• Computer with a Terminal Application
• Internet Access
• Access to a Linux Server running CentOS 7 (I use a Cloud Based Server in this course)
