Classes are taught by experienced adult leaders: Senior UNIX System Administrator of Nationwide Insurance (Retired), Co-Author of the O'Reilly and associates, Inc. "Programming Perl", Second Edition" There is a lab fee for each class, to pay for books.

The first course, Basic UNIX for Programmers' lab fe is $67.00. This class is the same course taught to The State of Ohio, Office of the Attorney General, Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation.

All of our Advisors are experienced professionals that are dedicated to the Scouting movement and believe that it is imperative that they pay back to the program by lighting the proverbial torch of knowledge in the future leaders of the computer industry.
