kanjoom

Good morning Luis and everyone.

My name is Kanjoo and I am new to Linux and open source. I have been looking into tech now since the first course I took, in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, back in October 2017. Since then, I have been slowly exploring web technologies and it's until I tried Nodejs that this whole new world of Linux and open source opened up. I am exited about this bootcamp and would like to make a success of it - but first need to get the VMWare installation done .

Looking forward to getting acquainted with you all,

Good morning Kanjoo, welcome to the Cloud Engineer Bootcamp! I hope we can meet at the Office Hours

Many regards,
Luis.

Hello to everyone.

I have Applied as well for a Cloud Engineer Bootcamp. So far I am reading well prepared documentation and I see that there are a lot of new things that I have to learn. I already have some Linux experience, but since I was learning without courses and instructors I am aware that there are many holes in my knowledge. I think this courses will help me to to fill gaps that I have. So far there is no need for me to attend Office Hours, but I don't know how can I join this meetings in case that I need some additional explanations?
I would also like to know some technical details about LFCS exam:
1. Is Terminal autocomplete using tab available during exam?
2. Are we connected with putty on some remote server or we are using browser only? (sometime browsers can have bugs)

Many thanks,
Marko

Hi @forzadejan, welcome to the forum!

Cause my time is GMT+7 (11.00 pm - 01:00 am) : Must I am always join this mentoring online class ??

The Office Hours are optional; the idea is that you can join them for the course you are currently taking. They can be very useful for clarifying ideas and making questions.

Is there any recording learning for self pace from you?

When there are recordings of the Office Hours, they are kept for 24 hours, so you have that time window to access it.

Is LFCS is practical test or written (multiple choice) one?

Please take a look to the Certification FAQ:

https://training.linuxfoundation.org/about/faqs/certification-faq/

==> What is the format for the exam?

Have you a cheatsheet about this exam?

You can take a look to the Certification Preparation Guide:

https://training.linuxfoundation.org/resources/publications/certification-preparation-guide/

I hope that helps

Regards,
Luis.

Hi @palarun, welcome to the Cloud Engineer Bootcamp!

Nop, we are putting the focus in the forum, because this way other students can find useful information about the labs, perhaps issues or questions that other students have asked before.

Many regards,
Luis.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Muhammad, I am in currently in Texas US. This is my very first exposure to Linux, I have always worked in the business side of things, and now looking to gain knowledge, experience and exposure to IT. It all seems intimidating, hope the support structure will help to make it easier

luisviveropena

Mi Muhammad, for sure it will be very interesting! Please keep in mind that we have the Office Hours, in case you have questions and/or want to discuss some topics.

Many regards,
Luis.
