 A six-week course on Saturdays covering basic and intermediate scripting in Bash! This course will teach you all you need to know to begin writing your own scripts. You can use these to automate system administration tasks and write your own custom commands. Scripting will give you use of the full power and flexibility of Bash. The course aims to teach a strong grasp of the basic concepts through practical examples. We will teach these one at a time, with back up exercises and notes for use outside the classroom.
