Apprentice Linux Engineer
This year at LCA, the ALE team is presenting tutorials on several subjects, including embedded, IOT, cloud, and security. ALE, the Apprentice Linux Engineer track, is a tutorial series driven by volunteer professional speakers who present apprentice-level material in a way that beginners can understand and use the information. Most tutorials also provide hands-on training, usually with embedded hardware designed and built by ALE volunteers – this is the only associated cost, other than conference attendance fees.
Important Note
These sessions are open first to people who have purchased the ALE Floral Bonnet board in order to do the in seminar labs. Furthermore, there limited room in the classroom, so arrive early for each session to make sure you have a seat. Preference given to those who have the Floral bonnet for their raspberrypi zero boards.
