• 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 not only an extensible set of commands but also a full computer language, in which you write scripts. 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.

    Guests can not take part in the interactive exercises. You need an account to take part, which you can apply through the contact form in the footer of this site.
