Become a UNIX and Linux Expert!
 

SYS-ED knows UNIX. And more importantly we know how to teach UNIX and Linux. In the late 1970’s, principals in our company and longstanding technology partners were among the first generation of UNIX practitioners and coders.1 We taught the C programming language to application developers, were involved in the early stage of the superset of functions which became C++, and created training aids for X Windows and Motif interfaces. This information was included in the lesson plans and development of subsequent UNIX tools and utilities courses. As UNIX became integrated with IBM mainframe operating system software, we coded programs with AIX. Today, SYS-ED's staff of system consultants are leaders in using and evaluating open source UNIX- and Linux-variant operating systems. An increasing number of our industry standard courses and training programs are being conducted with UNIX and Linux as the base operating system platform: programming languages, WebSphere MQ, DB2 UDB, and Oracle. Our network operating system, web server, and scripting courses have been updated to include examples and exercises which model Linux and UNIX internetworking environments with Microsoft Windows and IBM mainframe systems. Few training or consulting companies offer the scope of instructor-led classroom and distance-learning UNIX and Linux course offerings that we do!

In response to the increasingly hybrid utilization of open source UNIX and Linux software with proprietary software in IT infrastructure, we have expanded both our industry standard and tailored consultancy derived curriculum.

SYS-ED's library of UNIX and Linux courseware is comprised of modular content, examples, tailored exercises, skeleton programs, and training aids which provide a foundation for employees from Fortune 1000 corporations, government municipalities, and healthcare providers to learn how to become UNIX and Linux support personnel, webmasters, administrators, and programmers. Students learn by doing; one-third of their class time will be spent coding and maintaining programs. UNIX scripting and application development training is adjusted to reflect the client specific use of utilities and shells. Our staff averages over 30 years of experience in the UNIX field and are recognized experts in upgrading and migrating UNIX programs. Client organizations are welcome to have their employees bring UNIX and Linux programs from work to class for discussion and analysis.

Delivery Medium
SYS-ED UNIX and Linux training can be delivered in a technology driven classroom or web-based: interactive with a subject matter expert, self-paced, or podcast. Client organizations are presented with a palette of medium to select from in order to address operational, time compression, and validation assessment requirements. The selection of the delivery medium requires a clear distinction between industry standard UNIX and Linux content and educational consultancy.

Educational Consultancy
It is our standard policy not to accept a Linux or UNIX training assignment without a telephone consultation with the prospective client. Our Director of Education reviews the details of the desktop, server, internetworking, and development environment in relation to the course title and subject matter which needs to be taught. The client selects the walkthroughs, sample programs, and exercises from our courseware library. If necessary, we will create client specific examples and skeleton programs. This premium service includes support services provided through our UNIXtrainingbysysed.us website.

Knowledge Base
SYS-ED reviews information in the public domain distributed by purveyors of open source software, software companies, and international standards committees. We perform our own independent analysis and assessments of benchmarks for updates and new software products. Vendor documentation, white papers, and third party content is interpreted and selectively incorporated into our courseware and training aids. SYS-ED clients are invited to submit UNIX and Linux 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.

Where Can I Find Quality Linux and UNIX Training?

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

Technology Driven Mainframe Training

Technology Driven IT Training

Courseware for Teaching

The consensus among industry experts is that the open source software documentation is less comprehensive and more difficult to learn from than its proprietary software product counterparts. SYS-ED's UNIX and Linux courseware has been designed, developed, and refined to help employees learn; not market software.2 The SYS-ED courseware library consists of unified and modular student hand-outs, documented walkthroughs, sample programs, skeleton programs, and industry-specific exercises.

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. Content is selectively added to UNIX and Linux courseware and training aids.

Not All UNIX and Linux Training is the Same

UNIX and Linux Courses in New York
SYS-ED's UNIX and Linux 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 to meet their own UNIX staffing requirements and acquire specialized UNIX skillsets. 2

Courseware
SYS-ED's UNIX and Linux courseware is highly respected in the IT field. Industry standard subject matter can be augmented with UNIX- and Linux -variant modular content from our courseware library: sample programs, case studies, exercises, and skeleton programs. Curriculum is updated to include new features and information from the CETi knowledge base.

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 and Linux Courses are NOT for Everyone
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED UNIX or Linux 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 and Linux 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 and Linux training on-site at your organization’s facilities inclusive of mobile computer classroom set-up. On-site UNIX and Linux courses can include the identical workshops, case studies, and hands-on approach as the UNIX and Linux 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 and Linux 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.
