Feedback
 I took up Bluepoint's Total Linux course last 2002 and time and again, what I've learned are still relevant today. Why? The course was developed with security and performance in mind.
In less than two months, I was able to learn the best practices in setting up Linux as a server: installing Linux at a bare minimum; removing standard and unnecessary programs, files and folders; protecting critical files and folders; compiling server software and the Linux kernel from scratch with optimized settings and necessary features only; installing servers in a jailed environment; designing and implementing a paranoid firewall.
Aside from the hands on lecture, we also had the toughest practical and written exams.
This quality training helped me obtain a score of 100% in my RHCE exam last March 2005. The first person I thanked was of course, my instructor, Engels Antonio of Bluepoint Institute.

Linux® is an Open Source, full-featured, powerful and robust UNIX-like operating system based on the initial work of Linus Torvalds from the University of Helsinki in Finland. Since 1991, his work was extended and ported to many platforms by a worldwide community of software developers. Linux offers features such as true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, TCP/IP networking and near-zero system downtime.
COURSE DESCRIPTION Total Linux is a comprehensive, hands-on Linux training program using the latest kernel and Fedora release on 64-bit hardware. This flagship course covers intermediate to advanced Linux system and network administration, security and optimization. It helps prepare students for Linux Professional Institute (LPIC), Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE), and Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certifications.

Extreme PHP Sunday, Oct 21, 2001, 12:00 AM (Revision 43 - Wednesday, Jul 8, 2009, 1:25 PM)
PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is an Open Source server-side scripting language for creating dynamic Web pages for e-commerce and other Web applications. A dynamic Web page is a page that interacts with the user, so that each user visiting the page sees customized information. Dynamic Web applications are prevalent in e-commerce sites, where the content displayed is generated from information accessed in a database or other external source.
Unlike other scripting languages for Web development, PHP offers excellent connectivity to most of the common databases (including Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sybase, ODBC and many others). It also offers integration with various external libraries, which allow the developer to do anything from generating PDF documents to parsing XML. Perhaps the greatest advantage of PHP, when compared to other scripting languages such as ASP or Cold Fusion, is that it is Open Source and cross-platform, suitable for today's heterogeneous network environments.
PHP has been awarded the Programming Language of 2004, according to the TIOBE Programming Community Index. This index uses information collected from the popular search engines, and are based on the world-wide availability of skilled engineers, courses, and third party vendors.
COURSE DESCRIPTION Extreme PHP is designed to enable Web developers and others with limited programming experience to build dynamic e-commerce websites.
"I think the Extreme PHP course is very practical and aimed at getting students up to speed in making real-world sites (for example, Dollie - with no PHP experience - able to make congress.gov.ph), so I think it's very worth it for our students." - Vip Malixi

AJAX Crash Course Thursday, Feb 21, 2008, 12:00 AM (Revision 34 - Monday, Nov 10, 2008, 7:13 PM)
Crash course on demand. For people in a hurry.

AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a group of inter-related web development techniques used for creating interactive web applications. A primary characteristic is the increased responsiveness and interactivity of web pages achieved by exchanging small amounts of data with the server "behind the scenes" so that entire web pages do not have to be reloaded each time there is a need to fetch data from the server. This is intended to increase the web page's interactivity, speed, functionality and usability.
