Subject: [ale] Linux Curriculum Suggestions
To: ale at ale.org


As an active and involved contact for the ALE group I've
been invited to assist the Program Advisory Committee of
the ITT Technical Institute, Atlanta, with recommendations
for designing their IT curriculum.  This is an outgrowth
of a well received guest teaching presentation on (basic)
Bash programming that I gave for an introductory Linux
class there in March.

I believe I have a good general understanding of the IT
industry and market place, so I know enough to know what
I don't know, thus I know that this list has may members
with far more real world working experience in the field
than I have.

Any and all suggestions or ideas y'all might care to offer
regarding the education and training of the next generation
of GNU Linux developers and system administrators would be
greatly appreciated, including thoughts on valued programming
languages, certifications, resources, texts and preparations
for job hunting in the Linux IT marketplace.

Probably best to reply off list (and note that in the topic).
My first meeting with the committee is June 4th, so I'll be
compiling the suggestions list off line until then and will
post a synopsis of the suggestions and the meeting afterward.

Thanks for your attention and participation!

peace
aaron
