The lab has already offered one in the past but it suffered from minimal turnout. As such the instructor, switched to teaching python and django. If there is interest we would teach one possibly in july. I will discuss with the instructor and also put a call lut for interest, so if you can find a couple other folks who also have a desire to learn let me know. Since all of our instructors are volunteers we tend to try to maximize their time by offering the courses people are most enthusiastic about.

 Course Suggestions - Linux for Developers

Chris <ertel...@gmail.com> May 19 02:06AM -0700  

The sort of course we were thinking of was basically, Intro to *nix:
 
* Basic command-line navigation (cd, ls, ps, grep, mv, cp, man, etc.)
* Basic text editor usage (emacs, vim, nano/pico)
* Talking to other machines (ssh, scp, rsync, curl, wget)
* Chaining operations with pipes and basic file redirection
* File permissions (chown, chmod, etc.)
 
Covering development tools is a bit interesting--at least talking
about basic gcc, gdb probably.
 
It's tough without deciding on a particular distro; Debian is probably
my go-to, but Red Hat derivatives are also pretty popular.
 
What other stuff were you interested in learning?

As I indicated in my other reply to the thread it may be that this is more of a workshop than a course. Developers with any experience have some understanding of editors, command lines, redirection, etc. But that level of experience varies.

Maybe I can illustrate more by describing my situation. Decades long time developer with experience in many OSs, just not *unix. I can install Linux and have done so many times. I think last year I even got Eclipse installed. But then I get bogged down in getting the network and file sharing exactly right so I can work with my Windows desktop. I got bogged down in getting all the files I need to do C++ development. When I want to add, say ROS (Robot Operating System) how do I get it and add it to the development path. How do I setup debugging, especially remote debugging on the PC based robot?

It may be that for someone like myself the requirements are to individual to make for a course.
