TLDR: The Mastering Linux Development Bundle explores how to understand and use Linux as an operating system for running all kinds of business and cloud-based information networks.
Windows and Mac. Mac and Windows. When the discussion comes to operating systems, it feels like those two titans are the only ones anyone ever brings up, consuming all the oxygen in any OS conversation. That makes sense to a degree when you consider the two make up about 97 percent of the market share when it comes to OS usage.
But in that remaining 3 percent lives Linux. Versatile, easy to understand,and open sourced, Linux has been constantly modified and improved over the past 30 years, making it the operating system serious programmers use when they don’t want to hassle with all of Microsoft or Apple’s proprietary hurdles.
And Linux thrives in that 3 percent, particularly with highly specialized and customized business systems. With the training in The Mastering Linux Development Bundle ($19.99, over 90 percent off, from TNW Deals), students learn the intricacies of this sneaky powerful system and all the ways it can be modified and reimagined for use in many innovative and interesting ways.
