    Mutually exclusive with: CPE802
    This course will introduce you to the philosophy and principles of Free and Open Source Software and the full spectrum of open source tools and techniques. Every PC or server in your company can be replaced by a fully open-source environment that is stable, far less prone to security vulnerabilities, and incurs zero cost in licensing and upgrades. After taking this course, you should be able to match the needs of your company with the-state-of-the-art software available in the open source world and make a sound decision when adopting part or all of the OSS tools, thereby drastically reducing your total cost of ownership in the long run. We will also be including open source embedded hardware such as Arduino. A personal laptop is highly recommended so that you can run the open source demos during the labs. 1.
