The Photoshop course is covered in 30 hours of class time with many hours of bonus material that can be covered at home. It will provide students with a solid foundation in the basics of the Adobe Photoshop application, one of the most popular software applications for working with digital graphics. Students will discuss digital graphics in general, learn to navigate the program interface, use the numerous tools, and save files for display on the Web.
The Introduction to Unix course is 30 hours of hands-on Unix with some theory. The student will be given accounts on one or more university Unix servers to use for the year. Several of the courses will require students to create, upload, and edit files on these servers over SSH or other remote connection. This course will introduce the student to the basics required to meet these tasks. The entire course will be done at the command line interface. A graphical user interface will not be used. Installation, configuration, and administration of Unix/Linux is beyond the scope of this introductory course. Near the end of the year, students will be taking more advanced Unix courses, including the installation and securing of Linux servers. The basic tasks taught during these early classes will be required again and again throughout the year.
Students will then be introduced to Linux shell commands and common utilities. The file hierarchy, process and process manipulation, user permissions and security and text manipulation will also be studied.

Participants will learn how to give their Web site visitors confidence that they are dealing with a legitimate business. Customers are jaded with so many scams and are often relying on well-known brand name companies, with smaller businesses having difficulty competing for trust. This seminar will point out many of the common mistakes that small companies make that can easily turn visitors off and away, as well as introducing best practices for their Web site.
