Course Overview
Hello everyone and welcome. My name is Andrew Mallett, otherwise known as the urban penguin. And if you're listening to this then you are just minutes away from learning web services in detail for both real life and the LPIC-2 202 exam. You probably already know that I worked in the UK and I have my own Linux training and consultancy organization. Web services are today as popular as they have ever been with the focus more and more on security. You want to make sure that you stop by the TLS SSL module where we do look at covering HTTPS in detail. Now in this course we're going to work with Arch Linux, Apache, NGINX, and Squid. Arch is a pure Linux distribution with simplicity at its heart. In this way nothing is hidden or managed for you in your Apache configuration so you can be sure that you're learning everything. During this course we're going to show you, among other topics, configuring Apache virtual hosts, configuring PHP and Perl on Apache, and configuring HTTPS enabled and protected sites. By the end of this course you're going to realize that you've probably just attended the best web services course that you've going to find and you're going to be competent in deploying Apache, NGINX, and Squid services. Now of course you're going to need some basic knowledge of Linux and be competent at working at the Linux command line.
