I am teaching three Distance Learning Classes for the Maysville Community & Technical College beginning in the fall semester.
The two courses are:
NIS230 – Introduction to Unix (using Fedora Core Linux)
CIS200 – MySQL & PHP Programming
The first course, NIS230, is a repeat of the Winter course using a revised edition of the book with an additional chapter on Linux System Security. The book includes Fedora Core 2 installation CD’s which have a bug if it is installed on a dual-boot system and since the latest version of Fedora Core 4 is out, I will be handing these CD’s out to students and recommend they use this edition instead (or any other Linux distribution of their choice). As an alternative to installing Fedora Core Linux, we also offer the option of using the Adios bootable Linux distribution (or any bootable Linux distribution will suffice). The book & lecture content will be updated, as needed, since Linux is a rapidly changing operating system that remains in constant development.
The combined MySQL + PHP course will be split into two 8 week courses, and using the excellent book Build Your Own Database Driven Website Using PHP & MySQL from SitePoint.
