Linux University for Developers

From Developer Community

The Novell University for Developers is a collaborative initiative by developers, designed for developers to share their knowledge on how easy it is to create software on Novell's products and technologies. The content on this open community site is geared towards showing and doing using flash-based, interactive lessons, rather than articles or lengthy documentation.
