Course 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!

Hi! I have been teaching for 15+ years. I hold two active Cisco CCIE certifications, and have experience working across a variety of industry verticals, in a number of different roles - ranging from professional services, to consulting, and more. I believe training should be FUN!

I have delivered live training, video-based courses, and been “in the trenches” as a member of professional services teams too. I teach because I know how hard some concepts can be to grasp, so I do my best to save my students the headache.

Please share your honest feedback on any of my courses - I read every review, and genuinely take that feedback into account when making new courses.

Course content was good. Some presentation examples did not follow the correct case - capitalization- for true new users I suspect this would be an issue. The lab examples were correct however.

I love this course because I have learned a lot from this course. Thank you so much for creating this course.

By Reza Karimi damavandi on 11/5/2025

I just finished the course, and I can honestly say I absolutely loved it. It was a fast-paced course that covered everything I wanted to learn.

By Sabina Shautsova on 8/1/2025

It was really well explained and with a lot of enthusiasm from an author of the course.

By Allen Brown on 2/8/2025

Great course to own as a quick-reference to lots of Linux commands. I’ve almost completed the course, but am already going back to re-watch short videos as they apply to my daily work. Teaching style is simple, direct (quick), easy to understand, and immediately applicable.

By Vignesh on 6/25/2023

I wanted to learn Linux basics as I work in networking industry most of the applications are on Linux. So far the course seems to be promising and i hope it will provide me the knowledge i am seeking for.

Excellent course, simply explained and broken into digestible chunks to go from zero to proficiency. instructor has a great teaching style, easy to follow

By James Rudd on 5/2/2022

This class has showed me a lot about Linux, I really appreciate the knowledge I am learning. I may eventually take the Linux+ exam. But, I need to learn a lot more and that is what this course is teaching me.

By Aras Kaplan on 6/17/2021

Instructor has a quick but powerful way of speaking. Maximum efficiency. Just what I needed.

By Bruno Martic on 12/26/2020

Great course on Linux basics. I feel like the first parts of the course, being more simple, were covered better. Networking and troubleshooting might require more indepth tutorials to help build stuff from ground up. All in all I would recommend this tutorial to any person that wants to dive into Linux or refresh their knowledge.
