1st Quarter Classes

-- Main.RickArchibald - 15 Oct 2004

This page is for the use of the author and Anne Sipes & other HAL staff in preparing the HAL-PC class schedule for inclusion in the Dec. edition of HAL-PC Magazine.

This is the (growing) list of my HAL-PC classes for Jan - Mar 2005

Note to Anne:

I am reviewing the course descriptions on this site; when I have them finalized, please use them for the magazine & your office. server.  Let me know if I need to change the format of anything to facilitate this.  I could also use your help (to the extent politically possible) making sure the stuff on www. is consistent, too. 

I know you take great pains to ensure that office. reflects what I send you, I think any problems I had in the past are either with other outlets for course information or my own fault for getting confused by the flurry of e-mails of content.  If it is ok with you, I would like to declare the TWiki to be the official source of info on my classes.

The complete 2005 schedule is here.   I would like to reserve the Learning Center now, please.

Linux Hands On

I have written to Marcel Gagné asking to use the book title "Moving to Linux" as the course title.  Please be prepared for a change.

Text

The same text is used for all 3 courses: 

 Title
 Moving to Linux: Kiss the Blue Screen of Death Goodbye!
 Marcel Gagne  Addison-Wesley  0-321-15998-5 $34.99
 Author                       Publisher                       ISBN                 Price    

The Internet price is about $23 (plus shipping)

Recommendations

These recommendations apply to all 3 courses Bringing your own GNU/Linux machine (preferably Mandrake 10.0) (even your desktop), to class is permitted & encouraged.  Having familiar & comfortable hardware allows you to concetrate on the course content.
