Designed to provide the essential skills
needed to be proficient at the Unix or Linux command line. This
challenging course focuses on the fundamental concepts and tools which
make Unix and Linux so powerful. Students in this course commonly span a
variety of skill levels, from beginners desiring a solid foundation in
Unix to experienced users seeking to fill in gaps in their knowledge.
The curriculum is designed to provide hands-on experience. Subjects
focused on during this class include the Linux filesystem and how to
manipulate it; the basic Unix and Linux notions of pipes, redirection,
regular expressions, and other tools for performing complex tasks; the
management of processes and jobs; vi, the standard Unix editor; and the
ability to construct shell scripts to automate routine or difficult
operations.
Prerequisites:
Solid
understanding of computing functions, including fundamental knowledge of
network environments and software installation.
