[svlug] Feedback I received about the tea party event

[Ray Olszewski]

Apropos of Mr. Silverman's question about workshops on the basics ... does
anyone know anything about the quality of the Unix courses taught at
Foothill and (I assume) the other community colleges? They certainly are
cheap enough that cost wouldn't be a barrier. As somewhat higher prices are
offerings from UCB and UCSC Extensions, and maybe San Jose State. 

What I know myself is limited and second hand. I know that a friend of mine
who took the Unix sequence from UCB extension a few years ago was happy with
what she learned there. My son is taking other (not Unix) computer courses
at Fothill and seems to think well of its CIS program generally.

So what do you think? Are any of these courses good enough to be helpful to
people new to both Linux and Unix?
