----------------- details below -------------------- 

dlx|U is pleased to offer an after-hours training opportunity on Linux. Linux is software that is similar to Windows or Unix with one important distinction…freedom of choice. Under a General Public License (GPL) users are granted the rights to use, copy, improve, and even redistribute the product. Linux is common on many devices that we use on a daily basis. Some examples of devices that use Linux today include Lenovo IdeaPads, Garmin Nuvi navigators, Sony Readers, Android phones, and TiVo DVRs. A large part of the Datalogix Digital business infrastructure also runs on Linux including our Tag, Real Time Matching (RTM), Log and Match servers. Linux is used as the primary host platform for all of our Oracle databases including the Coop. 

What are the details for this course? 

Our very own David Willson will be leading these sessions. There are no prerequisites in order to take the first course, however those with very little Linux experience must be prepared to study and practice outside of class hours in order to gain the knowledge needed to pass the exams. Learners must be committed to attending a four hour session one night a week for eight weeks per course. Each four hour session contains about 2 hours of lecture, followed by about 2 hours of lab. The value of these courses if taken outside of DLX can be approximately $1600…or more! The cost of the required course book is $200 per class and Datalogix will cover this cost for DLX employees. Classes will be held here in the Datalogix offices and participants must also bring a laptop. 

What can this course provide for me? 

Linux is a critical component of the DLX infrastructure and the industry in general, thus the stronger your Linux skills, the more value you can bring to DLX and your career. This first course prepares students to take the 101 and 102 exams toward the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) level 1 certification. It covers fundamental Linux skills such as file management and manipulation, text processing, command line use, package management, file systems, hardware, and more. Learners are encourage to take and pass the certification exams, so that you can be recognized for your accomplishment, however the exam is not a part or prerequisite of the class. Unfortunately due to the technical nature of these courses, we will not be able to offer remotely via WebEx. 

The LPIC-1 prep course is comprised of two classes: 

CLASS #1: 

LPIC-1 (part 1 of 2) will prepare learners for the LPI-101 exam 

· Class dates: December 1, 8, 15, 22, January 5, 12, 19, 26 

· Participants will have one week off for cram and exam (No class on February 2) 

· Course outline: http://www.gurulabs.com/partner-program/courseware/LPI101/ 

CLASS #2: 

LPIC-1 (part 2 of 2) will prepare learners for the LPI-102 exam 

· Class dates: February 9, 16, 23, March 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 

· LPIC-1 part 1 is a prerequisite to this course 

· Participants should take second exam at the end of this course 

· Course outline: http://www.gurulabs.com/partner-program/courseware/LPI102/ 

When learners successfully pass both the LPI-101 and LPI-102 exams, they will gain LPIC-1 certification (details on the certification can be found here: http://lpi.org/linux-certifications/programs/lpic-1).
