The Linux Foundation announces

2014 was a big year for us in training. We launched a new ground-breaking certification program and released our wildly successful "Introduction to Linux" edX MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), which had roughly 300,000 enrollees.

To build on that, we're excited to announce our first-ever self-paced course that builds on the MOOC and prepares candidates for the LFCS (Linux Foundation Certified SysAdmin) exam: "Essentials of System Administration."

[...]we've included a discounted LFCS exam with the course fee. [...] for a limited time, we're offering this course and certification bundle for $499--an additional $100 discount.

    The future is bright!

    - Everyone will have a Linux Certification(tm)
    - Everyone will use System D
    - Everyone will program in Python (or node)
    - Everyone will be Agile
    - Everyone will use NoSQL databases
    - Everyone will be given a github account at birth
    - Everyone will work at a startup

    Everyone could have Linux certification if it was a highschool course.
    The road to Hell is paved with Systemd.
    Python is not a silver bullet. Perl can make silver bullets.
    Agile is just another way to screw up quickly. Microsoft and Atlassian are good examples.
    SQL has its moments. Choose the correct tool for the job at hand.
    Github for the win.
    Free startup for everyone! All you need these days is a PC and an internet connection.

      Python is not a silver bullet. Perl can make silver bullets.

      Too bad those bullets will result in a huge gun barrel maintenance.

      Free startup for everyone! All you need these days is a PC and an internet connection.

      And food and a roof over your head (shower is optional, I hear ;) ) until you successfully launch something profitable - iff you are lucky.
