Open Source Software Development, Linux and Git

I personally recommend this course. That's how I got introduced to Git. I don't find it trivial. The concept is formidable. I used to think that Linus Torvalds was such a genius and a remarkable person of our era. After Git this feeling grew up even more...

Your class looks awesome! I wish I was in Massachusetts so that I could attend it.

It reminds me of the the Linux Foundation's "Open Source Software Development, Linux and Git Specialization" series of classes on Coursera.

As a teenager I learned of the Linux Professional Institute's LPIC certifications and made it a personal goal of mine to acquire them one day. Just to ensure there wasn't some critical gap in linux knowledge that I missed, I decided to sign up for those Coursera courses.

It's distro agnostic and I wish we had something like this in the early 00s. Not absolutely necessary to pay for the courses, you can audit and watch the videos.

Alright, basically you can find one on Amazon for just a little bit. I've used mine for programming with my TV, so if you're interested in programming, you might want to learn Python and Linux (for Linux, just audit each course individually to learn for free).

Though if you don't want to program it, you can just use it as a regular computer. I bought a kit for the Raspberry Pi 4B+ and it was really good, it contained everything I need (you pretty much need all the components in this kit except the case to run the Raspberry Pi safely).

Just be warned, this kit is over 100 dollars. Still, it can probably replace your current computer, and even be portable should you properly store it each time and get a portable monitor for it
