== What This Course is About ==
<u>This course is the forth fourth in a series of courses about Linux technologies</u>
: OPS435 will help you learn how to read, write, and maintain scripts which assist with common system administration tasks. The days of performing all administrative tasks manually has come to an end, now you must move forward into a world of automation.
: In this course you will use a ssd(in a usb enclosure) or a removable disk tray with lab computers, similarly to other Linux courses. However, this time you will setup a unique environment for development and testing. This course can be broken up into 2 halves. The first half of this course will cover learning the python language. The second half of this course, will cover powerful administraton systems, and allow you to apply your python knowledge to extend these systems.
== Learning by Doing ==
Most of the learning in this course occurs through interactive labs that give feedback as you work through each problem. While this feedback may help, the solutions will still need to be found by you. There are many ways to solve each problem you encounter in this course, letting you improve through practice. The way you solved a problem at the beginning of the semester may not be the way you solve it near the end of the semester. Trying to solve previous labs, after learning new material, may prove insightful.
