 Update from Kishore, IIT Guwahati


The following e-mail sent to student community
--------------------------------------
Dear all,

CSEA in associatoin with Sun Club, IITG is intending to conduct online
course in Solaris operating system basics during the summer holidays.

Solaris is new to almost all the entire IITG student community.
Participating in this programme will make you the pioneers of
OSUG(OpenSolaris User Group) that is set up in IITG.

Course will be completely online. We will have the course content
dispersed over the net and talk among ourselves with chat conferences.
Believe me, this will be a very nice experience that you wouldn't want to
miss.

The outline will be as follows. It is tentative and will be changed as the
need arises.

1. UNIX - philosophy
2. open source - philosophy
3. Introduction, Installation - Live CD, virtualisation (Virtual PC,
VMWare, Qemu), actual install
4. Command line usage
5. Everyday tasks - howto (PDFs, Players etc)
6. Simple administration (net config, web server etc)
7. C programming (editors, debuggers, profilers)
8. Other C programming issues - (libraries, make)
9. Networking basics - (servers, clients)
10. Socket programming
11. Operating system basics
12. ZFS, DTrace, Zones - real good stuff here
13. A project

As you can see the course starts with real basics and we can proceed at a
very slow pace to grasp the entire content. We will have a 2 hr meeting
every week and the participant would need to spend 3 - 5 hrs a week.

The above course will be completed in a period of 1.5 months. The next
15-20 days will be dedicated for the project. We will involve in very good
projects that will be useful to the IITG community and deployed in the
next semester. The projects may be paid ones (not yet confirmed).

Requirements:
1. Interest and dedication to participate and learn
2. A net connection at hand during holidays

No previous knowledge of Solaris is required whatsoever.

To participate please reply to this mail with your NAME, ROLL, BRANCH.
(The course will be more CSE oriented but is useful to other branches
also)

This course is supported and sponsored by SUN Microsystems, India.

Cheers,
CSEA.
