CIS 301 - Operating Systems and Server Administration

CIS 301 is a required course in the Computer Information Systems major. This course is an introduction to operating systems and server administration in a business environment. Students learn the basic functions of an operating system through the hands-on use of Linux. Additional, students acquire hands-on server administration skills in order to better understand the operational and security demands of business applications. The LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) environment will be used to teach server-side administration.

An important component to CIS 301 is the OS & Server Adminstration wiki.Students in CIS 301 obtain a virtual computer lab (Linux-based) and learn how to build and secure their own web server. The benefits of such an approach are documented in an article in Computer (IEEE) by Rick Mathieu, Don Hardaway and Mark Hogan. The wiki can be found a http://ictom.wetpaint.com/.

Students and alumni from CIS 301 at James Madison University are valued contributors to this wiki. If you have any questions, please contact mailto:mathierg@jmu.edu
