This video doesn't deserve a screenshot but to be saved in HDD and even in backup files. Thank you for this guide
I also ordered the Unix and Linux System Administration handbook! gonna make it my slave!
Thank you!
Lmao the random Deus Ex plug
nice video thank you
Good resources. Thanks.
I've also bought the Unix and Linux system Administration handbook and I'm loving it..
All my respect to Evi..
I've enrolled to your udemy class as well.. finally I found an amazing mentor
4:24 I used that MIT Scheme book for Computer Science in university. I totally hated it and totally useless. That is insane to recommend that book for a system administrator or even a software developer.
Nina, Pinta, Santa Maria.
Thanks for the Vid…Love the "No BS help"! And teach a man to fish concept.
I Bought the book Unix and Linux System Administration on your recommendation. I LOVE IT!
Thanks for all your hard work. Your videos are great.
I will try the books you have mentioned but up to now, my favourite linux system administration book has been "Linux Administration: A Beginner's Guide" by Wale Soyinka. I believe it is currently in its 7th or 8th edition. Highly recommended.
Hi Dave,
first of all thank you for the great content. I am halfway through your Linux tutorial series and really enjoy it.
I wanted to ask your opinion about the importance of formal education (university, …).
I finished about 4 semesters of a business informatics programme (I hope that is the right translation) but I quit since it focused more and more on business processes, project management, writing specifications and stuff like that. I ve been thinking about switching to something else, but I did so much cooler stuff since I quit (some programming projects, improving my math skills, learning linux) I need a job to support myself and studying part time on top of that was really hard on my relationship.
Now I got a new job as a kind-of junior sysadmin, although I mostly work on a database migration project. I really like my job but financially it is probably not going anywhere so I am afraid that in about 2-3 years I will be having a hard time getting better payment because I don t have any IT related degrees. What is your experience about that especially during your time in Europe?
what should I learn next to become a good programmer
Thanks a lot. Enjoyed all the sessions.
MADE IT TILL THE VERY END! 🙂
Thanks..
