Where to Learn Linux Online for Beginners

If you’re getting into programming one day will come where you need to learn linux. For me that day is close if I want to keep up my side hobby of learning to code. So I’ve been looking at different places I can learn linux online, ideally ones which can be followed by a beginner and not a hardcore coder.

Despite actually co-founding a managed hosting company I’ve never actually spent much time learning linux (I was mostly doing Bus Dev, Marketing, Ops…) or how to do anything of useful in a command line.

This turned out to be a bit of a trip up point a few years ago when I wanted to learn Ruby on Rails and found that while I could code and script the basics…actually getting it to run on a server was a whole different ball game!

Recently I asked Alasdair who was (and still is) the MD & CTO at EveryCity who know quite a lot about the subject about my SysAdmin shortcomings he simple said ‘You need some lessons, it’s easy, you’ll be fine’.

So I asked myself: What online resources are there to learn linux online for complete beginners?

Here’s the list of the best I’ve found:

• uDemy.com – Linux Courses - Free & Paid courses
• Paulpaulito – Linux Fundamentals 101 training videos – Certified from €65
• Linux.org – Free beginner/intermediate/advanced courses

A list of other resources can be found here on Fr Stephens Blog.

I want to learn to play ukulele – Would you be interested in doing it with me?

I’ve been wanting to learn to play the ukulele for a while. One thing that I think would help would be to have a friend to learn with me at the same time.

Is this something you’d be interested in?
- Cost: £25 for a ukelele
- Time: 30 minutes per week
- Effort: Pretty easy following YouTube tutorials (We don’t even need to be in the same place)

If you think this would be interesting please comment below and we can team up!
