We will be starting from the initial install and setup of VirtualBox and Vagrant, and you will leave having the fundamentals to continue on your learning journey.
This course is divided into the following sections
Initial Install
The initial install and setup of VirtualBox and Vagrant
Why vagrant?
This tool uses a base image to quickly clone a virtual machine, and saves time and resources in the process. It allows for a repeatable process, should you want to get more virtual machine environments after the course.
In the course, I am using MacOS, if you’re using Windows please use Git.
This will align things as closely as possible to using Unix/Linux and will ensure you have an SSH Client.

From working in construction to learning electrical on the job I convinced myself to pursue tech as a career despite a lack of a formal background.
I've worked in Information Security (Cybersecurity) for 4 years and am helping those that want to learn about the field in any way I can.
