    Creating Engaging In-Classroom Labs for Demonstration

    I love AWS Academy, as students can use AWS as a lab environment for free, with no credit card required. It has controls in place, so some things are impossible, but most are. The cool thing here is that cloud computing is in demand. It gives them experience with a real environment many may...

It is hard to teach students that such minor changes can reign chaos. I try to do this by providing them a...

    Problems with PBQ questions on MacOS?

    Testing centers were non-existent for a few years with the pandemic around me. Hawaii was more locked down than most states, and many industry tests were still not offered last I checked.

    LINUX+ VOUCHER

    If one of the people in charge says, that is okay... I am fine with that. I would expect they would want to keep track of who they were issued to and would like to control who they go to.

    LINUX+ VOUCHER

    I received one, but do not need it. I already took and passed the certification exam. How do I return it so it can go to someone else?
