Linux Foundation announces training program
The Linux Foundation (LF) has announced new training courses for Linux developers. The courses will be offered at LF events, starting with the Collaboration Summit in early April, as well as in various cities in the US. "
While the Linux server market is predicted to reach $50 billion dollars in three years, and the embedded and mobile Linux markets continue to explode, the picture is less rosy in other corners of the IT market. Developers are being laid off, and many are looking to careers in the Linux and open source sector. The freelance marketplace Odesk (www.odesk.org) recently reported that the number of Linux-related jobs posted on its boards has increased more than 1400% since 2006. The Linux Foundations Training Program will help meet this demand for industry, and provide the tools for a new generation of programmers."
