[TriLUG] Intro to Command Line Class

[Roy Vestal via TriLUG]

Some of the kids I'm working with are studying with the Air Force 24 
Cyber Command and 33 Network Warfare Squadrons through the Cyber Defense 
Training Academy, as well as some participate in FIRST robotics 
competitions, etc., and I have 1 that is working on his CCNA.

Based on the CyberPatriot curriculum, and seeing the number of teams per 
year grow (last year almost 2600 nationwide in high school All Services 
and Open Divisions combined), I'd venture to say I'm not the only one 
with kids that are like that. Most of the kids in the program I've met, 
are ready for a basics and fundamentals into programming type course.

To your point, I do write curriculum for my team and others. I was just 
looking to see if there were outside avenues for this type of curriculum 
for my kids. We can always learn from others. I know I'm not going to be 
able to teach them everything they want to learn. :)
