Introduction to Free SoftwareJesús M. González-Barahona, Joaquín Seoane Pascual, Gregorio RoblesFree Technology Academy (FTA)2010Free software is increasing its presence in mainstream media and in debates among IT professionals, but it is still unknown for many people. And even those who are familiar with it lack specific knowledge in some important areas. What is free software? What are the implications of using a free license? How are free software projects organised? Which are the main business models associated to them? What motivates developers, especially volunteers, to become involved in free software projects? Who are these developers? These are the sort of questions that we will try to answer in this book..Introduction, FLOSSGNU Free Documentation License, Creative Commons Attribute ShareAlike LicenseFLOSS-
GNU/Linux Advanced AdministrationRemo Suppi Boldrito, Josep Jorba EsteveFree Technology Academy (FTA)2010GNU/Linux systems have reached a level of maturity that allows to integrate them in almost any kind of work environment, from mobile phones to server farms. The contents of the module "The GNU/Linux operating system", of which this book is the main documentation, are mostly related to systems administration. Students will learn how to install, configure and optimise a GNU/Linux operating system and the most widely used computer services. During this course students will engage in practical activities related to these topics, applying them in real GNU/Linux systems.Introduction, FLOSSGNU Free Documentation License, Creative Commons Attribute ShareAlike LicenseSysadmin-
Introduction to Web applications developmentCarles MateuFree Technology Academy (FTA)2010This course book starts with an introduction to the internet, including a brief history of the TCT/IP protocol and worldwide web. It defines the basic concepts for web servers and studies the case of Apache, the most used webserver, while other free software webservers are not forgotten. The course continues with webpage design focussing on HTML and JavaScript. XML Schemas, their validation and transformation are covered as well as dynamic webpages built with CGI, PHP or JSP and database access. Webservices are software components that are accessible through SOAP and have their interface described with WSDL (Web Service Description Language). In this section the XML-RPC protocol is discussed among other things. The last part of the course deals with configuration, maintenance, monitoring and security aspects.NetworkingGNU Free Documentation License, Creative Commons Attribute ShareAlike LicenseNetworking, Web development-
Economic aspects and business models of Free SoftwareAmadeu Albós Raya, Lluís Bru Martínez and Irene Fernández MonsalveFree Technology Academy (FTA)2010The course book its focused on the study of Free Software in relation with the private sector and related economic aspects. We analyse the software industry from an economic perspective: how it was affected by software licensed under free conditions and what is its potential for the future.
