Become a UNIX Expert!
 

SYS-ED knows UNIX. And more importantly we know how to teach UNIX. Back in the 1970’s, key members of our staff were among the first generation of UNIX coders and practitioners.1  We developed and taught C programming to the first generation of staff programmers, who were involved on the ground floor of the superset of functions which became C++, and developed training aids for XWindows and Motif interfaces. We also offered tailored UNIX tools and utilities courses. When UNIX became an integral part of IBM mainframes, we coded programs with AIX. And today SYS-ED is a leader in using and evaluating open source UNIX-variants.  Bottom line, few training or consulting companies offers the multi-platform UNIX training and expertise that we do!  A significant and increasing number of our educational consultancy courses - WebSphere MQ, DB2, and programming languages are also being conducted with UNIX as a base operating system platform or internetworking (TCP/IP) with Microsoft Windows and IBM mainframe systems.

SYS-ED has an extensive library of UNIX courseware, sample scripts and programs, and reference cards designed to provide a foundation for training employees from Fortune 1000 corporations, government municipalities, and healthcare providers to become UNIX support personnel, administrators, programmers, and web programmers. Now with the Internet and web servers serving as the framework for mission critical components of business operations, a whole new generation of UNIX IT personnel needs to be trained. Our UNIX curricula include C, Bourne, Korn Shell and the complete range of UNIX utilities awk, sed, grep, etc. If your operational objective is to update or migrate UNIX programs to the next generation of UNIX platforms, SYS-ED's system consultant  instructors will provide the insights and guidance that will make the difference between simply completing a project; and getting the project done well!

In SYS-ED courses, students learn by doing; one-third of their class time will be spent coding and maintaining programs. Our staff averages over 30 years of experience in the UNIX field and we have extensive knowledge of the tips and undocumented features, which make all the difference in the world when in comes to meeting a deadline. After a course is over, students have access to our technology exchange websites.

Knowledge Base and Submit UNIX Questions
SYS-ED reviews information in the public domain distributed by software companies, international standards committees, and purveyors of open source software. We perform our own independent analysis and assessments of benchmarks for software updates and new products. Vendor documentation and third party content is interpreted and selectively incorporated into our courseware and training aids. SYS-ED clients are invited to submit mainframe questions. Our system consultants and technology partners answer, explain, and where applicable reference source documentation. Questions are reviewed and answered on a first-come/first serve-basis. This service is available through our categorized and open source websites.

Educational Consultancy and Value Added Service
SYS-ED recognizes and differentiates between industry standard UNIX content and educational consulting. It is our standard operating procedure to examine with the prospective client organization, the UNIX desktop and server variant and the internetworking and development environment that the trainee will be working in. We then have the client select the walkthroughs, sample programs, and exercises from our courseware library. If necessary, we will create new ones and also provide skeleton programs. At the client discretion, assessment validation can be provided.

Where Can I Find Quality UNIX Training?

Tailored Solaris Training
 
Over the past year, we have had a number of inquiries regarding whether SYS-ED offered specific UNIX-variant courses.
The typical comments were:
1. That it is extremely difficult to locate UNIX-variant training for specific administrative, internetworking, and application development assignments. The availability of Linux training options were very limited.
2. That there is a scarcity of fast-track performance and optimization courses, 4 days or fewer in duration, geared to different the specific UNIX-variants.
3. That a high percentage of UNIX courses are cancelled.
4. That travel costs and living expenses in a majority of situations are a significant constraint when it comes to attending a UNIX course.
5. That it is important to have a resource for asking UNIX questions once the training is complete.

Courseware for Teaching

Industry experts agree that the documentation provided with open source software does not offer a comparable degree of completeness than that of proprietary software. SYS-ED's courseware library consists of student hand-outs, training aids, documented walkthroughs, and industry-specific exercises.  Our UNIX-variant courseware has been designed and incrementally developed and refined to help employees learn; not sell software.2 

The Computer Education Techniques knowledge base is a service for answering questions, inclusive of the research and validation of the accuracy of information in the public domain.  Citation of source documentation and examples are used to provide answers to the questions. This information becomes part of our knowledge base and courseware library. Content is selectively added to our course hand-outs and training aids.

Not All UNIX Training is the Same

UNIX Courses in New York
SYS-ED's UNIX courses are tough, but they're worth it. Our challenging "hands-on" UNIX training provides a foundation and framework for Fortune 1000 companies, government municipalities, healthcare providers, software houses, and consulting companies to meet their own UNIX staffing requirements and acquire specialized UNIX skillsets. 2

Courseware
SYS-ED's UNIX courseware is highly respected in the IT field. We draw upon our extensive library of courseware, sample programs and case studies to explain, demonstrate, and teach the real-world UNIX. Our UNIX curriculum are updated to include both industry standard content and the new features and facilities. We have the capability to provide tailored workshops to a client specific UNIX platform: Linux, Fedora, Sun Microsystems, AIX, etc.

Teaching is Our Business
Most computer training companies are divisions of large software or consulting companies. Not SYS-ED. Our only goal is to provide quality computer training for motivated professionals - no more and no less. Because we're independent, we're free to concentrate on teaching - and since 1980 we have been doing it very well.

Our Teachers Know How to Teach
SYS-ED instructors combine teaching skills with broad practical experience as consultants. Our instructors average 30 years of experience in the UNIX environment - operating system, network administration, and programming. And they know how to teach it. We teach not only "how to", but "why", building a solid foundation in fundamentals and insights into advanced materials. After a course, they're available to answer questions.

Enrollment - SYS-ED UNIX Courses are NOT for Everyone
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED UNIX course, without a consultation with our Director of Education. We review the operational objectives and project specifications for the organization evaluating whether to send its employee for the training. The employee is ONLY allowed to register if they have the appropriate background corresponding to the appropriate learning path.

UNIX Training in New York, at Your Office, or via the Web
SYS-ED UNIX courses are held at our modern, fully equipped training center in Manhattan and in conjunction with training partners in North America and Europe. If you prefer, we'll arrange tailored UNIX training on-site at your organization’s facilities inclusive of mobile computer classroom set-up. On-site UNIX courses can include the identical workshops, case studies, and hands-on approach as the UNIX training we offer in New York.

For additional information including outlines, availability of private courses, references, and course customization, contact David Shapiro at our New York office at 212-564-9147 or register online.

Technology Exchange Websites

SYS-ED's technology exchange websites compile, organize, and present software specific and established operational categorizations of information technology. They provide a framework for assessing knowledge transfer in a variety of delivery formats: web-based training, classroom instruction, technology updates, courseware, training aids, learning paths, and validation assessment.

Footnote 1:

David Silverberg and David Shapiro were both among the first wave of programmers and technologists who evaluated the UNIX operating system and designed and coded C programs. David Silverberg was coding programs and reviewing code at AT&T and later taught classes at Bell Laboratories. David Shapiro, in conjunction with classmates at Union College and Cornell University, became familiar with the capabilities of low level programming languages and early versions of both UNIX and BASIC.

Footnote 2:

SYS-ED’s core UNIX curriculum are in the process of being submitted to the New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision for technical review and licensing.
