From Design Geek to Web Geek: Part 0: Introduction

Things are actually going quite well on the www.fuzzygroup.com front. We have a bunch of development work (still looking for more, of course) and we're now starting to realize that it would be very useful for our skills to be more shared than they currently are. I, as you probably know, fall into the "Web Geek" category. I'm being the very technical stuff, hosting, *nix, PHP, Apache, MySQL, SMTP, etc. My partner, Gretchen, is very much in the "Design Geek" category. She's responsible for the creative side while I am the whole backend. And, I realized today exactly how much a design geek she is when she got all excited today when I turned over to her a 30 disc cd set of clipart. Anyway…

I need to bring Gretchen up to speed on all the core basics of being a web geek so I thought I'd just blog what would normally be a series of internal articles. Here's a rough outline:

File Transfer with SCP
Understanding SSH.
Core Concepts & Technologies
Linux
Apache
SQL Databases
Server Side Scripting Languages
Basic Linux 1 and Linux Quick Reference Card
Basic Linux 2 and Linux Quick Reference Card
Basic Linux 3 and Linux Quick Reference Card
Basic PHP 1
Basic PHP 2
Basic PHP 3
Sys Admin Geekery 1: Guidelines for Passwords
Sys Admin Geekery 2: Troubleshooting Network Connectivity
Sys Admin Geekery 3: TBD

This will be a slow paced series written as we need them internally.
