• A playful conversation with the Unix shell 

    This guided workshop in multiple units is your first encounter with the Linux shell, commonly called the "command line interface (CLI)". It is a computer language the user can speak to any Unix system. In six units of 1 to 2 hours of work each, this workshop opens up the newcomer to "talk" freely in a text terminal. This is an essential step in your Linux journey.
