LiveFire Labs: Online UNIX Training with Hands-on Internet Lab


"Taking a LiveFire Labs' course is an excellent way to learn Linux/Unix. The lessons are well thought out, the material is explained thoroughly, and you get to perform exercises on a real Linux/Unix box. It was money well spent."

"LiveFire Labs' UNIX and Linux Operating System Fundamentals course was very enjoyable. Although I regularly used UNIX systems for 16 years, I haven't done so since 2000. This course was a great refresher. The exercises were fun and helped me gain a real feel for working with UNIX/Linux OS. Thanks very much!"

"When I couldn't locate a school in my area that offered a Unix course for beginners, I went to the Internet. Performing a Google search on "unix" brought up many hits, but LiveFire Labs had the most reasonable offer.

I finished the course in a week, and got just what I was looking for. The course’s hands-on exercises were inclusive, well written, and the answers were just a link away if needed.

I especially liked it when a company representative contacted me about halfway into the course to inquire whether or not I needed anything. I will definitely look to LiveFire Labs again for any additional courses I may require."

Perl Programming

Overview

LiveFire Labs' Perl Programming course is an in-depth study of the fundamental concepts for developing and maintaining programs using the Perl programming language. The course also covers a few more advanced topics such as forking processes and trapping signals.

A substantial number of hands-on Internet Lab exercises are embedded within the course content to reinforce key concepts, allowing you to write and execute Perl programs from your work or home computer as you progress through the course. This ability to learn a new technical skill by performing exercises on a remote lab system continues to be a popular training option with both new and former students.
