LiveFire Labs: Online UNIX Training with Hands-on Internet Lab


"Taking a LiveFire Labs' course is an excellent way to learn Linux/Unix. The lessons are well thought out, the material is explained thoroughly, and you get to perform exercises on a real Linux/Unix box. It was money well spent."

"LiveFire Labs' UNIX and Linux Operating System Fundamentals course was very enjoyable. Although I regularly used UNIX systems for 16 years, I haven't done so since 2000. This course was a great refresher. The exercises were fun and helped me gain a real feel for working with UNIX/Linux OS. Thanks very much!"

"When I couldn't locate a school in my area that offered a Unix course for beginners, I went to the Internet. Performing a Google search on "unix" brought up many hits, but LiveFire Labs had the most reasonable offer.

I finished the course in a week, and got just what I was looking for. The course’s hands-on exercises were inclusive, well written, and the answers were just a link away if needed.

I especially liked it when a company representative contacted me about halfway into the course to inquire whether or not I needed anything. I will definitely look to LiveFire Labs again for any additional courses I may require."

Korn Shell Scripting

Overview

This course teaches you the skills required for developing basic and intermediate-level Korn shell scripts.  It begins with a summary of the concepts and operators that make the Korn shell one of the most powerful scripting environments in UNIX and Linux today, then shows you in a step-by-step manner how shell scripts are written, their common uses, how they interact with other operating system functions, and examples of well-written shell scripts.  Hands-on lab exercises allow you to write and execute shell scripts on a system in our Internet Lab from your work or home computer.
