CIS126 Home Page
Welcome to the Glendale Community College Glendale
Community College , Glendale , Arizona
The first thing you may want to do is to download the Course Guide, you
may want to NOT print this out because if you view the document in Word or
Wordpad the links to this page will be highlighted so you can simply
"click" (or in some cases Ctrl+click) to get the pages automatically
downloaded and opened in your Word or Wordpad. Use the Link below to download
the Course Guide for CIS126AA Web Edition.
The text for this course is only the Course Guide you download below. However,
if you are also planning to take the CIS126BA and CIS126CA then you can OPTIONALLY purchase
the Guide to UNIX Using Linux, Thomson Publishers, Course.com, ISBN 0619215623, you
obtain a copy at the campus Book Store or on the WEB, again it is OPTIONAL for this
course but required for the 2 following courses UNIX Level II and Level III.
The next thing you may want to do is to download the secure software to
use from home to connect to the GCC Unix/Linux system for your exercises. Use
either the Putty link below or the SSH link below. Either one is satisfactory
for the course, the interfaces are slightly different but once you get
connected to the gnix.gc.maricopa.edu server there is no difference.
Orientation!
You may attend Orientation in the HT Center or simply download the PowerPoint
slide show here. After viewing the presentation email me at cesparza@student.gc.maricopa.edu to let
me know you have viewed the Orientation for credit.
Finally, you will want to begin reading the course guide you downloaded
from below and begin the course using your course guide and the secure shell
software you downloaded. The course guide also has tips on how to log in from
work or home or from another Unix/Linux system you may be using.

for each assignment and also the Course Evaluation sheets that you are asked to
send me at the end of each Unit so I may know how to improve your Online
experience. Also use this sheet in case you find any errors such as spelling
errors or commands that do not appear to be working correctly. If you
experience a command that is not working, move on to the next topic, do not get
mired down trying to do something that may not function correctly on our
system. Continue on to the next topic!
