Hi everyone,

I hope you all had a great start into the year 2025! My name is cjteclab, and I’m currently on a personal journey to transition into the field of Linux, Linux Administration, Microcontrollers, and Embedded Linux Systems.

I’ve designed a learning plan to guide me through this process,https://github.com/cjteclab/cjteclab/blob/master/learning_modules/journey_2025_schedule.md). My goal is to develop a strong foundation in these areas by the end of 2025 and eventually find a job where I can gain practical experience and grow further.

This journey is a challenge for me, but I believe that I thrive when faced with challenges that push me out of my comfort zone. I’m inspired by the idea of bringing talented and knowledgeable people together to create something greater than the sum of its parts.

Here’s what I’m looking for:

1. Personal advice or tips: If you’ve worked in Linux, Embedded Systems, or related fields, what advice would you give to someone like me who is starting this journey?
2. Feedback on my learning plan: I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at my GitHub repo and let me know if there are important topics or skills I might have missed.
3. Book recommendations: Are there any books that you think are must-reads for beginners in Linux, Embedded Systems, or Microcontrollers?
4. Project ideas: What practical projects or hands-on tasks would you suggest to reinforce my learning and apply my knowledge effectively?

I’m fully committed to this new path, and I’m eager to learn and grow. If you have any advice, suggestions, or resources that you believe would help me, I’d be incredibly grateful for your input.

Thank you so much for your time and support!

Best regards

Welcome to the Forum.
 
Here are two books that are great for begginers since you are a begginer. They are great value.
