What you'll learn in this course2:16
If you're intimidated by Linux, but you have to learn it for your career, you're in the right place! This course is all about learning by doing, and growing together! In this lesson we'll discuss what is covered in this course at a high level before we dive right into the practical use cases and lessons!
Must Know's of Udemy1:46
This video discusses a couple of tips you should know while taking Udemy courses. I've summarized them below for your convenience!

All my videos are filmed in 1080p, but Udemy throttles them down to 720p
Adaptive Streaming is a feature coming which will fix this. Once it's ready for everyone, this course will be 1080p!
You'll get prompted for reviews after some lessons. These reviews are for the entire course, NOT just the lesson!
I update all of my courses regularly! I aim for every 2-3 months at the latest, but it is usually much sooner.
If you have anything you want to see in the course, let me know! If I get enough requests, I will do additional lessons as updates!

Description

Welcome! My name is Mike, and I'm here to help you become proficient with Linux! My goal is to make it FUN!

----------------------------------------------

Learning Linux is hard. There's so many commands, and so many variations of those commands, it can be really difficult to know where to start. In this course I take a unique approach: I lecture, then lab in many cases, and then let you go explore! This course is for those who are willing to work hard, explore, read documentation occasionally, and most importantly - try harder!

This is going to be a journey, but I know you can do it, and I'm here to help!

---------------------------------------------

In this course, I'll cover things such as:

Linux basics (what is linux?)
Installation of Ubuntu Linux using the 20.04 release
All of the usual file management commands (ls, mv, cp, mkdir, rm, and more)
How to set file permissions and most importantly, understand how permissions work!
How to create your first shell script from scratch
How to troubleshoot basic network issues with tcpdump
Practical knowledge on how to use linux in an enterprise environment
Very condensed course - no fluff - learn it, then do it!
The course is designed with a logical progression so you will build upon knowledge learned in previous lessons

Take the leap, and let's get to learning Linux!

Who this course is for:

Anyone looking to further their career by learning Linux
IT professionals needing to know Linux for work
