Eric O.

15 UNIX lessons

Craig is reliable and professional, yet informal. Although he's sometimes just a few minutes late, he's never canceled a tutoring session without notifying me first, and he's MORE THAN FAIR with his time spent versus the amount he charges. I would DEFINITELY recommend him to anyone who needs help with Java! I would also recommend him for UNIX or C++, which is another programming language that Craig knows fairly well because of its similarities with Java.

I met with Bruce for UNIX and I have to say, the lesson was very informative! If you are taking a class in UNIX I highly recommend Bruce as he will present a lot of these concepts in a very comprehensive way.
