Description: This course provides a broad overview of how the SunOS
kernel provides its basic services. It will be most useful
to those who need to learn how these services are provided.
Individuals involved in technical and sales support can
learn the capabilities and limitations of the system;
applications developers can learn how to effectively and
efficiently interface to the system; systems programmers
without direct experience with the SunOS UNIX kernel can
learn how to maintain, tune, and interface to that system.
This course is directed to users who have had at least a
year of experience using the UNIX system. They should have
an understanding of fundamental algorithms (searching,
sorting, and hashing) and data structures (lists, queues,
and arrays). Students will not need to prove relationship
with a source license holder, as actual source code will not
be presented.
This course will provide a firm background in the SunOS
kernel. The SunOS kernel supports both the BSD (Berkeley)
and AT&T System V user interfaces. (In this course, only the
BSD user interface and services will be covered.) The first
half of the course will cover basic kernel services, process
structure, memory management, scheduling, paging and
swapping. The kernel I/O structure will be described
showing how I/O is multiplexed, special devices are handled,
and the buffer pool is managed. The implementation of the
file system and its capabilities will be described. The
introduction to the interprocess and networking capabilities
of the system will provide an overview of networking
terminology and an example use of the socket interface.
Other related topics include performance measurement, system
tuning, and security issues. The presentations will
emphasize code organization, data structure navigation, and
algorithms. It will not cover the machine specific parts of
the system such as device drivers.

Productivity Skills for Your Sun Workstation
Duration: 3 days
Description:
This course improves workstation skills and helps students become more
self-sufficient workstation users. We emphasize practical skills and
extensive hands-on training. You'll learn how to personalize your desktop
environment and improve proficiency and productivity.
The course teaches you how to personalize the SunView window system and
the C shell to reflect the needs of your work environment; edit files
using the SunView TextEditor, personalize your Mail Tool and create local
and public mail-distribution lists using network services to access and
share information between remote systems; and protect your files,
directories and workstation from unauthorized access by other users. The
course also covers basic workstation administration topics such as:
properly booting and shutting down your workstation, performing disk
backups, accessing remote printers, and automating routine workstation
administrative tasks.
This is not a system administration course. However, it does cover
networking, workstation security, and administration issues that benefit
Sun workstation users. This course is for users who want to gain greater
independence from their system administrators. This class is not for
beginning SunOS users; nor is it a substitute for the SunOS for Users
course.

Introduction, or have at least 6 months experience with the Sun
workstation and SunOS.
