[cochiselinux] linux classes for spring 2004

I finally(!) have the registration information for the
Linux courses being taught at Cochise College this spring semester.
If you want to expand your boundaries with Linux there are
several fun options to choose from.
We're going to split the Installing and Using Linux =20
Course into two parts, Part I one for the 1st 8 weeks,=20
and Part II for the 2nd 8 weeks. That'll give more time
for labs and for people to go through the material.
We're also piloting a Databases (PostgresSQL, PHP)
course, a Geographical Information Systems (GRASS5) course, =20
and a Bioinformatics (Apache, WIMS, Perl, EMBOSS, BLAST, more)
course as part of a program in Scientific Computing we are
developing. We're running the database and GIS courses as
"geology" courses simply because of the examples, but the
principles would be applicable in a more general setting.
Most PostgreSQL info applies also to MySQL.
I'll put some more information about the course content
at http://math.cochise.edu in the next day or so.
Here's the registration information.
