Linux Course in 5 Days: Level Up Your Career

If you want to learn how to use Linux and level up your career but are pressed for time, read on. Hello. My name is Jason Cannon, and I'm the author of Linux for Beginners as well as the founder of the Linux Training Academy. When I ask people to tell me what their biggest challenge is in learning Linux, they all say the same thing: Time.

That's why I've created this course. Give me just 45 minutes a day for the next 5 days, and I will teach you exactly what you need to know about the Linux operating system. You'll learn the most important concepts and commands, and I'll even guide you step-by-step through several practical and real-world examples.

So, if you can spare a few minutes a day and want to learn the ins and outs of the Linux Operating System, join me and the other students in this course today.

As an added bonus for enrolling in the Learn Linux in 5 Days video training course, you'll receive a step-by-step checklist and video that teaches you how to install WordPress on an Ubuntu Linux system. First, you'll learn what software is required for WordPress to run on a Linux system. Next, you'll be given the exact commands to type to install all the required software and WordPress.

You'll learn how to install a web server, how to install a database server, how to create database users, and how to configure WordPress. Before you know it, you'll have a fully functioning blog on your hands. This is a great way to put your newfound Linux skills to good use. Totally optional, but very cool: If you want to host your blog on the internet on your very own installation of Linux, I'll show you where you can get hosting for just $5 a month.
