I will be starting college soon and am taking 3 computer courses. Unix operating systems, networking technologies, and systems programming i'm wondering if there difficult or easy.
Systems programming-
This course provides an introduction to writing programs for use by operating systems. Students examine scripting within both Windows and Linux. Topics include command line operating system syntax, basic rules of scripting, examination of tools used for script creation, and creating scripts using both command line and graphical user interface tools.
Networking Techology-
Students learn how to design, install, maintain and troubleshoot both local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). Students will learn the basics of telecommunications, home and office networking technologies, wireless networking technologies, protocols of data communications, LAN cabling, and internetworking. This course prepares students to sit for CompTIA�s Net+ certification examination.
Unix operating sytems- This course provides students with the knowledge to implement and maintain UNIX-based server technologies. Students install server-based Linux and those packages required to support Linux clients. Server components are discussed and then implemented by students and include: DNS, DHCP, NIS, NFS, and SAMBA. Students explore configuration of log files, remote access, task automation, security, and virtualization. After completing this course students have the required knowledge to sit for the Novell Server Administration.
the exact same course can be difficult when taught by one prof and easy when taught by another. i suggest you check ratemyprofessor.com or a similar page. no one here will be able to answer you
Quinsigamond Community College is doing you a disservice.
I think you should understand how to write code and make a computer do what you want it do before diving into Unix internals.
That course that calls itself Systems Programming... it isn't. Scripting is a form of programming but it's typically quite different from writing software.
The same concepts with different names repeat over and over. A "daemon" in UNIX is a "service" in Windows. If you don't learn assembly language then the processors used hardly matter.
