Opinion about Linux Foundation courses

[Andre Nogueira]

Hi.

I understand you opinion Greg.

There are lots of documentation about Linux Kernel. For example, I
have been studying  "Linux Kernel Development 3rd Edition".

But if you want a job as Linux Kernel developer, is this type of
training important?

If you have experience it is "easy" to get the job. But you have to
start from somewhere (even if you have the knowledge and skills).

thanks
