Course overview

Libraries are a cornerstone of any community. Allowing anyone to read a book free of charge makes reading accessible. Libraries don’t make a profit because they’re for the collective good of humanity – there to spread knowledge and literacy to anyone who wants it.

Open-source software is kind of like a library, except without the late fees: software, free for anyone to download and use for the benefit of all. Many businesses use open-source software because it’s cheap and reliable, allowing even 1-person companies to keep their costs down while they find their footing. This course will give you a basic guide to open-source, so your teams can decide if it’s suitable for your business needs.
