I attended an introductory course on unix at EdCC in 1998 and found it informative. My friend Erin (cc'd) also took the perl course the same quarter and can tell you whether she found it useful or not.<BR>
<BR>
But that was a while ago, so I can't say whether the current offerings are good.<BR>
<BR>
I also enjoyed the presentations given by Tim Maher at various SPUG meetings. He runs a company that does training, and I'd highly recommend him as well. Grab his book. I reviewed chapter 3 :)<BR>

Hi GSLUG, my first post here after years of lurking off and on.
I am looking for a local course or some sort of training program I can
send an employee to in hopes that they come back with some basic Unix
scripting fundamentals. I browsed the course offerings for UW
extension, SCCC, and BCCC, and didn't see anything that was as
specific as I want it to be. Something in shell (Bash probably) or
Perl or Python or maybe even trying to build scripting fundamentals in
a more web orientated way like PHP or Ruby is an option. The
requirements are pretty loose as long as it's done at a *nix prompt
with vim or so :)
My first reaction to being asked to look into this was to offer a book
and a project, but we have the opportunity to do something a little
more formal so we might as well see what's out there.
Thanks!
Tyler
