If you do not know LINUX, then do not take this course.

This is a course that could have been good for beginners. But it not.

The order of the course is haphazard. For example early on in the course you are required to install packages - but the explanation of how to install packages is only at the end of the course.

The explanations given, in places, assume that your day job is as a network administrator or similar - so if you day job is not, again don't take this course.

Some of the lessons consist of a sheet detailing 20 or so commands - which for me at least, was not an easy way to learn something new.

I would say though that the course lecturer is clearly an expert in the field and that the material could be re-purposed with only some effort in order to make it beginner friendly (if they ever wanted to) . In the meantime - if you are a beginner, try somewhere else.

Unclear and not suited for absolute beginners. Get a good book like The Linux Bible, and learn through that.

Not very organised in terms of studying order, and some of the examples are a bit too simple and skimming the surface.

This course was pretty disappointing, I was excited to start learning Linux and Bash but for some reason, the concepts that were introduced in this course were horribly sorted.

For example, for all weeks we used `yum` until week 5 where it was introduced. As well as choosing and installing a Linux distro, which was discussed in week 5 (last week of the course). I had to do a lot of googling for this course which I don't tend to on a normal Coursera course.

I just think that a little bit of planning and organizing would've made the course far more helpful.

you just read the slide.

too basic, fuzzy, doesn't really teach or provide any valuable hands on in linux

Very theoretical course, which I personally like, with much to learn. However, I don't think this is a course for beginers, since part of the content related to Computer Science is assumed to be known, and the contents for the last week seem a little out of place, being presented so late in the course.

Nice course for the newbie in Linux world. I really got to know very new things from this course while working with ubuntu. Thanks to The Linux Foundation for this wonderful course.

The course falls tragically short of where it could be. The order of the lessons appears to be random (with installation and usage information provided at the end rather than the beginning), and this is complicated by information being provided for outdated packages and commands-- many of which have been completely phased out on some Linux kernels. Following along with an AWS RHEL instance was impossible for all but the most basic functions.

It appears that the information in this class was valid as of 2015-2016, and hasn't been updated since. Because most commands are provided in a written table format without context, I learned the most by Googling the topics being covered and going from there.

I don't know who the intended audience for this class is, but it isn't amateur Python developers.

a lot of bugs on site, lol i couldnt finish his course for hour because site didnt see my results

I would have put the lessons on installing the various packages, see week 5, at the beginning of the course.

Fehlende Zusammenhänge - es wird überhaupt nicht erklärt warum etwas gemacht wird, sondern einfach wahllos irgendwelche Befehle aufgelistet. Die Folien sind komplett überladen mit Prosatext, der nichts mit den Aufgaben zu tun hat, die in den Kapiteln danach folgen. Der Dozent wirkt lustlos und demotivierend. Alles in allem überhaupt nicht empfehlenswert.

Muy complicado de entender y las prácticas mal explicadas.

Excellent course, right to the point; however it's necessary for prospect students to have some basis in linux environments in order to properly develop the proposed labs. It worths the time invested.

It was very good course and the content was compressed to get the best. In this module instructor covers all linux distribution and commands used in different distribution to perform same functions.

This was the type of course I was searching for, it has allowed me to increase my capability tremendously by learning a lot of new stuff and bash things, the right way to do them. Its impressive.

This course is the best and amazing course I have ever attended but, I found that the week 5 must be placed as week 1 and all others be followed by it. Thank you for great course

Great introduction to Linux for Developers. Well balanced quizzes that allow the student to get a flavor of the material as well as the opportunity to dive deeper if interested.

Excellent course. Now I understand much better the fundamentals behind linux command line interface and some important administrative features.

Excellent course for all who want to have a very good knowledge in linux in every aspect.

Complete, well explained, super usefull

it was really helpful. thank you all

One of the best course

Best for intermediate

I really appreciate this course, the instructor, and the Linux Foundation for offering it.

The course takes a middle ground between high and low level information. Sometimes, you wish there was more detail, sometimes maybe less. Overall, it is a good mix.

I often found some questions on the exams are not intuitively correct and often differ from the information provided. For example, lumping /tmp, /var and /home together as directories which "change" (or something similar) was in contrast to the given information in the course (naming only the first two) and seems counter-intuitive given the rapidly changing and temporary nature of the first two. Under no circumstances would one treat /home like the former two directories, which are fleeting and fast-paced.

However, overall, a good review for one in the field, with a nice touch of the folklore.
