Frequently Asked Questions
- Why this FAQ?
Each week, I get around 10 mails by individuals, which have similar questions.
This FAQ is an attempt to answer them.
- Do you take trainings for individuals?
No, unfortunately not. Due to severe lack of time, I do not take
personal coaching. If you want, you can ask your company training
co-ordinator contact me for my trainings.
- We are a group of few people interested in coaching. How do
we approach you?
For now, I have no infrastructure for conducting classes. If you can manage
a training room with some PCs, it can be managed.
- Ok, then how can I learn Unix on my own?
Believe me, it is easy. First install some free Unix like GNU/Linux
on your system. I recommend Ubuntu or
CentOS. Then get a basic Unix book and
start practicing commands. I recommend Sumitabha Das "Your UNIX
The ultimate guide" for starters.
- How can I send you a technical query?
I get around two dozen mails daily from people who just didn't bother
searching google before mailing me. So search the internet before asking me.
I will not answer any question whose answer can be easily found on google.
Asking me would be valid if you cannot think of a search term to put to google.
Some people, simply take things for granted and don't even bother telling
me whether my advice was helpful.
I would appreciate a note which says whether my answer helped you or not.
P.S. I might not be able to answer all the questions due to
severe lack of time.
- Can you recommend any training institutes?
No. After seeing hundreds of students and taking hundreds of interview of
students of these institutes, I don't think they are competent enough to
produce industry-ready professionals.
