"Introduction To Linux" [01] Teaching In Review

Key Takeaways

hello everyone my name is John Hammond and I would like to showcase some code content and material that I had created two years ago actually back in 2016 while I was still a student in college so at the time I was actually lucky enough to be able to teach a class just a small elective like a one credit course that would meet once a week for maybe an hour and a half and it was on the introduction to Linux so Linux a computer operating system on the command line just kind of the interesting facets in tidbit of it and just in general Linux so the students were my classmates most of them a little over a dozen and a couple stragglers of just other individuals in a year behind us but honestly it was really awesome and I wanted to showcase some of the material to you whether or not you are a teacher maybe wanted to see how you can approach teaching Linux or maybe some of the stuff may be of interest to you if you're a student or just someone who is a hobbyist really wants to get into Linux maybe some of the materials here may help you and like to showcase how I think teaching can be done for this computer science cyber security IT stuff or if you're a developer and you just want to see code what I built how it's put together I won't write any code in the series but I will be reviewing code so it'll certainly be on the screen I'll be discussing and you can see some of the stuff that I had done good things or bad things also this is on the tails of my school had recently just announced that they'll be opening up a new academic major a new field of study in cyber security cyber systems computer science stuff and it came to me that okay some of this material some of my content may be in use in the curriculum so I developed all this with the intent for it to be very Linux like in that it is open-source it's free transparent allow anyone to use it and obviously with the appropriate credits for its original creator so I wanted to showcase it to you it originally lived on github and it is still up there presence I had moved it now to get lab so I actually have it in that personal like directory of my own portfolio and we'll be able to download and play with it and I'll show you just like that and right now let's do it so it's on github gitlab calm John Hammond and the repository is intro to Linux I'll hop over to my command line and we can get clone that URL so the repository has a couple different folders if we actually move in here well some of them are showcasing either specific lessons or modules or things that I had taught specifically for a day or a week or some period of time in class some things are relative to the repository itself for it to look pretty like the pictures there is some kind of the back-end set up how things are built and how I put things together really the final guide is my parting gift and my kind of Bible that I put together for anyone that will inherit a lot of this material later so in the final guide that is the directory that has some latex files and images that put together again I like to use latex so there's got the open source representation of everything that I had written and I put a lot of work into this and I like to think it's some of some good things some good stuff that I put together so the course of materials for the introduction to Linux class back in 2016 written by me the table of contents I want to use this honestly I want to use this text document I want to use this this article here as my skeleton or like really the tangents of where well I'll dive into other different things that I have created and written and I'll be able to showcase in this series so hopefully some of them will be of interest to you a little bit of scripting a little bit of my sequel a little bit of SSH installing software maybe actual like web attacks etc etc so interesting interesting things I wanted to use this as the jumping-off point for all the concepts and the content that I will explain to you in the later videos so again I'm going to get into this in the next video but I did want to introduce it to you case it to you and get that get clone so if you'd like some of this content you are certainly able to download it and use it explore that is the whole point I will try and showcase what is in the repository and what is accessible in that giant final guide PDF file because that's where a lot of the goods are really I wrote my formal report and what I built Ellery created it all etc so we'll move into that in the next video so thank you guys for watching I do want to give a quick shout-out to my supporters people that are helping me out on patreon thank you so much I can't say it enough that's why I do this at the end of every video just to give you another reminder I cannot thank you enough like literally so this list is getting longer and I am so so grateful thank you for being willing to go on this adventure in this journey with me $1 a month on patreon gives you the shadowy at the end of every video thank you to all of you guys Spencer Clark Al Horowitz Timothy County Jakob H etc etc thank you five dollars a month gets you early access to some of the content I'll release on YouTube if I upload it it may be scheduled for a later release to be to be released and to go live at a later date as to when I normally record in bulk or a record in mass a lot of videos at the same time if you don't want to wait you want the content right when it's ready that's what the early access is for if you do want to support me maybe please like the video let me leave me a comment well you'd like to see what you think of this what you can what we can do better I don't know if you're willing to subscribe and if you do really really want to support
