Novell has published a set of schoolbooks to teach open
source, Linux and basic programming skills to children aged
13-16.
The series of books, called
Get Ready for Open Source: SuSE Linux Enterprise
Desktop 10, is available through the Novell Academic
Training Partner programme.
The set introduces students to open source software, providing a
clear and straightforward explanation on working with Linux and
commonly used open source applications like OpenOffice.org and
Evolution, as well as writing basic shell scripts.
The ultimate goal of the series is to give students a solid
grounding in programming using the Mono/C# framework.
Schools and other academic institutions that join the Novell
Academic Training Partner programme receive 100 user licences on
all Novell software including SLED. The set of books is available
to participants of the programme, and costs £15.70.
