Red Hat Academy RH134-7 which is much like the content we used during recent semesters in IST190 as far as format is concerned. Students will have access to the Red Hat Academy course content in Week #1 of the class.
Once we have completed the RHA content, we will use "RHCSA/RHCE Red Hat Linux Certification Study Guide, Seventh Edition" by Michael Jang and Alexandro Orsaria to study network applications and services for the remainder of of the course. Here is information on Mr. Jang's textbook:
