Course FAQ

Is this diploma suitable if I am new to Embedded Linux? هل الدبلومة مناسبة لو أنا جديد على Embedded Linux؟

Yes — Layer 1 starts with Python, Linux, and modern C++ foundations, then builds step by step toward kernels and drivers.

أيوه — مسار Layer 1 يبدأ من الأساسيات في Python وLinux وModern C++ ثم يبني بالتدرج حتى الـ Kernel والـ Drivers.

Do I need to study the full diploma? هل لازم أدرس الدبلومة كاملة؟

No. You can take Layer 1 only, Layer 2+3, or build your own path from the courses that fit your goal.

لا. تقدر تختار Layer 1 فقط، أو Layer 2+3، أو تبني مسارك الخاص من الكورسات المناسبة لهدفك.

Is the content hands-on or only theoretical? هل المحتوى عملي ولا نظري فقط؟

It is highly hands-on: Linux CLI, kernel builds, toolchains, Qt, Raspberry Pi, Yocto, and real device-driver development.

المحتوى عملي جدًا: أوامر Linux، بناء kernels، Toolchains، Qt، Raspberry Pi، Yocto، وكتابة Device Drivers حقيقية.
