Online education for cloud computing professionals
Linux Academy
If you work with Linux DevOps or cloud computing technology, chances are you've received training and certification from Linux Academy.
We partnered with Linux Academy to bring their industry-leading education and certification materials to iOS and Android mobile devices.
The Challenge: Educating Busy Sysadmins
DevOps engineers struggle to stay on top of endless new tools and technologies, which often requires study during commutes and spare moments after hours. The Linux Academy mobile app meets this need by delivering video courseware, study guides, quizzes and note cards, right inside the app.
The app's design makes effective study of technical topics incredibly easy. Students can pick up where they left off at the office, continuing their quest for tech mastery and career advancement.
Behind the intuitive browsing and learning interface, the app integrates seamlessly with the Linux Academy back-end services.

The Process: Iterative Design
Getting a first release out quickly was Linux Academy's top priority. We worked with their graphic designer to create a minimal initial version, and collaborated closely with their back-end engineers on the API supporting the app. The iOS release was in the App Store within just a few months, followed closely by an Android version.
We continued to refine the design and add new features based on feedback from Linux Academy's passionate community. After several major releases, we helped hand off the code to a newly hired in-house development team.
