About the Author
At the impressionable age of 14, William Bo Rothwell crossed paths with a TRS-80 Micro Computer System (affectionately known as a Trash 80). Soon after the adults responsible for Bo made the mistake of leaving him alone with the TSR-80, he dismantled it and held his first computer class, showing his friends what made this computer thing work.
Since that experience, Bos passion for understanding how computers work and sharing this knowledge with others has resulted in a rewarding career in IT training. His experience includes Linux, Unix, IT security, DevOps, cloud technologies, and programming languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl, and BASH. He is the founder and lead instructor of One Course Source, an IT training organization.
