UNIX Training by SYS-ED

SYS-ED knows UNIX. And more importantly we know how to teach UNIX. Our consultants were among the original cadre of UNIX proponents and practitioners.1  We developed and taught C programs to a generation of programmers, were involved with the superset of functions which became C++, and wrote hand-outs and instructor guides for XWindows and Motif interfaces. Over the years we conducted a variety of UNIX programming and utilities courses for application developers. As UNIX became integrated into IBM mainframe operating systems, SYS-ED developed and taught the popular UNIX-variant courses. Few software or consulting companies can provide the multi-variant UNIX training and expertise that we do. With the Internet and web servers serving as the framework for mission critical components of business operations, a whole new generation of UNIX IT personnel needs to be trained. Today, SYS-ED offers comprehensive Linux and Solaris curriculum and tailored training on the UNIX variants. Our UNIX programming curricula include C, Bourne Shell, Korn Shell and the complete range of UNIX utilities AWK, SED, grep, etc. If your operational objective is to update or migrate UNIX programs to the next generation of UNIX platforms, SYS-ED instructors can provide the insights and guidance that will make the difference between simply completing a project; as compared to getting the project done right! In SYS-ED UNIX courses, students learn by doing; up to fifty percent of class time will be spent hands-on working with a UNIX-variant operating systems - workstation or server. Each student receives a comprehensive hand-out which is augmented with integrated exercises, sample programs, skeleton programs, and training aids from the SYS-ED courseware library. After a course is over, students have access to our technology exchanges and are welcome to ask questions which come up back on the job. Courses can be taken a la carte or as a part of an integrated program. Tailored course offerings can be conducted on-site at your location.	Technology Driven IT Training

Courseware for Teaching

Industry experts agree that the documentation provided with open source software does not offer a comparable degree of completeness than that of proprietary software. SYS-ED's courseware library consists of student hand-outs, training aids, documented walkthroughs, and industry-specific exercises. Our UNIX-variant courseware has been designed and incrementally developed and refined to help employees learn; not sell software.² 

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. Citation of source documentation and examples are used to provide answers to the questions. This information becomes part of our knowledge base and courseware library. Content is selectively added to our course hand-outs and training aids.

Where Can I Find Quality UNIX Training? The typical comments were:

1. That is extremely difficult to find UNIX training which addresses the multi-functional requirements of business professionals, webmasters, and IT professionals; Linux and Solaris training options are also limited. Portfolio of UNIX Clients 2. That there is a scarcity of fast-track UNIX courses, 5 days or fewer in duration, geared to corporations and their employees, which can be tailored to a specific UNIX-variant. 3. That a high percentage of UNIX courses are cancelled. 4. That travel costs and living expenses in a majority of situations are a significant constraint when it comes to attending a UNIX- or Linux-variant course. 5. That it is important to have a resource for asking UNIX- and Linux- variant questions once the training is complete. Our response to these questions: Yes, SYS-ED offers multiple level of UNIX training: fundamentals, installation and support, network administration, scripting and shell programming and UNIX for Application Developers Yes, since 1980, SYS-ED has taught UNIX and offers both fast-track UNIX courses and integrated UNIX-variant specific training programs. Yes, we have the flexibility and resources to conduct personalized training for small groups. We very rarely cancel courses. UNIX- and Linux-variant courses are available in multiple formats: classroom, distance-learning, and blended web-based delivery. Upon completion of a SYS-ED course, our staff is available to answer UNIX and Linux questions.

Caveat Emptor
Prior to scheduling a UNIX course, compare the quality of the UNIX training service that SYS-ED offers with the alternatives.
Review the UNIX learning paths. Read the technology assessments and CFAQs - course frequently asked questions. Examine the content in our UNIX courseware and training aids. Utilize our UNIX skillset assessments. Interview our systems consultant/instructor.
SYS-ED has been conducting courses in the public domain since 1980; however, there have been changes in the laws and regulations governing computer training in the state of New York. The schedule on our websites reflects a projected time frame for licensure with the New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision and submission and approval of curriculum. It will be updated quarterly.

News for Immediate Release!

UNIX Training Program

SYS-ED’s UNIX training programs provide the knowledge and skillset to utilize the UNIX operating system for performing specific tasks. These UNIX training programs have been designed to provide: Business professionals with the framework and experience to utilize the open source alternatives to Microsoft Office 2007: StarOffice, OpenOffice, and Google Apps. Support personnel with the knowledge and skillset to perform administrative tasks on a UNIX network and code and debug scripts with the popular shells. Application developers with the fundamental skills and experience to develop UNIX applications with C/C++. The instruction will utilize the full complement of training methodologies to address the client's operational objectives, the geographic location of the audience, as well as scheduling and class size requirements. The UNIX training programs can be tailored to the UNIX-variant being used at the client location.

UNIX Training Programs and Boot Camps

The assumption is that a prospective client will utilize SYS-ED's core UNIX training programs and industry standard learning path as a framework for evaluating their operational requirements. Given the variety of UNIX-variants and the increasingly utilization of open source software, there is a strong likelihood that component courses will need to be augmented with courses from the SYS-ED search engine. Programs can be combined and consolidated into a client specific learning sequence. Questions should be directed to our New York office.

Evolving IT - Interrelated Technologies

Information technology training is more complex and challenging than ever before. Organizations have made significant investments in their operating system infrastructure, networking, and applications. There are long term implications regarding a strategic investment in UNIX versus a proprietary operating environment. With UNIX as the base operating system, additional open source software can be installed and utilized. SYS-ED trained a significant portion of the first generation of DP personnel in the 1980's. And look forward to the opportunity and challenge of training their IT successors.

UNIX Courses in New York
SYS-ED's UNIX 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, software houses, and consulting companies to meet their own UNIX staffing requirements and acquire specialized UNIX skillsets. ¹

Courseware
SYS-ED's UNIX courseware is highly acclaimed in the IT field. We draw upon our extensive library of courseware, sample programs and case studies to explain, demonstrate, and teach the real-world UNIX. Our UNIX curricula are updated to include both industry standard content and the new features and facilities. We have the capability to provide tailored workshops to a client specific UNIX platform: Linux, Fedora, Solaris, Suse, AIX, etc.

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 top-quality computer training for highly 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 Courses are NOT for Everyone
No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED UNIX 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 correct learning path.

UNIX 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 technology partners in North America and Europe.

Footnote 1:
David Silverberg and David Shapiro were both among the first wave of technologist and programmers who evaluated the UNIX operating system and designed and coded C programs. Dave Silverberg was coding programs and reviewing source code and later taught classes at Bell Laboratories. David Shapiro, in conjunction with classmates at Union College and Cornell University, became familiar with the capabilities and long term potential of low level programming languages, and early versions of both UNIX and BASIC.
