What Participant’s are Saying

By looking at the brochure I felt that most of the stuff I already knew like Process Management, POSIX, Networking, libraires, object files stack etc. since I was working on these areas for 4 years.

But it was very wrong of me to assume that we already know what Mr. Raghu is going to teach and that it will not be beneficial or will waste time. Believe me – if you want to learn Linux come here with an empty cup – adapt to Mr. Raghu’s teaching style then only move on to drivers. (Not attending system programming is a very foolish attempt). If somebody wants to learn drivers he/she needs to go through system programming for following reasons:

  1. Experienced students – We mostly know theoretical stuff in comparison to what is taught in class on Linux. You will get to see practically the things we know exist in OSes with an elaborate real example with a brilliant background on each topic. It will strengthen your understanding of even the basics of topics. Trust Mr. Raghu on that. If you have passion for Linux, you cannot find a more insightful and interesting teacher. You will gain so many tips and tricks on Linux that you will surprise many.
  2. Freshers – You will learn more in 2 months than you will learn in 3 years in the industry
