The [Linux Foundation](https://training.linuxfoundation.org/) has announced the launch of three new [edX training courses](https://www.edx.org/professional-certificate/linuxfoundationx-open-source-software-development-linux-and-git)covering Linux, Git, and other open-source development tools.

A Professional Certificate in [Open Source Software](https://fossnaija.com/open-source-really-matter-control-not-code/)Development, [Linux](https://fossnaija.com/?s=linux), and Git can be earned by taking the courses individually or in combination.

Jerry Cooperstein, PhD, who has been working with Linux since 1994 and has written and given training in both the kernel and userspace, [created the three courses](https://training.linuxfoundation.org/training/introduction-to-open-source-development-git-and-linux/). At The Linux Foundation, he is responsible for all training content. He developed state-of-the-art simulation software on a variety of supercomputers and taught at both the undergraduate and graduate levels during his two-decade career in nuclear astrophysics. Jerry is a Senior Content Manager at The Linux Foundation, where he has worked since 2009.
