CIS126BA Home Page

Welcome to the Glendale Community College CIS126BA Home Page.  This web site is here to help you get started on your CIS126BA Web Course experience. This will provide you with links to the Course Guide for the WEB Edition of CIS126BA and also provide links to the Grade Sheets and End of Unit Evaluation sheets. This page is to be used as a resource for all students taking UNIX courses at 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.  Another reason to not print it out is because hidden characters often appear in the printed copy and can cause confusion on the commands listed.  Use the Link below to download the Course Guide for CIS126BA Web Edition.

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.   The Secure Shell software (SSH) and Putty software is located for download on the CIS126AA Home Page.

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. This course requites the text: Guide to UNIX using Linux, Third Edition, ISBN 0619215623, available at the campus book store or elsewhere. Notice: There are 2 versions of the Third Edition, one has 2 Fedora Core 2 disks, the other version has 2 Fedora Core 5 disks for installation, otherwise they are exactly the same besides the cover being different colors. The newer version has a teal cover, the other has a black cover.

List of Grade Sheets

Additional links below will allow you to download 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!
