Intro to Bash Scripting
The class: a four week course on Tues evenings covering basic and intermediate scripting in the bash shell. We will examine about a file with about 15 lines of code together each night, modify the code, run it, and come up with our own scripts. We will also get to know the "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide" [1] and the Gnu "Bash Reference Manual" [2] in some depth and learn to research and solve our own programming problems. User projects are encouraged -- bring your problems and we will solve them together!
I am a fifth year Ph D student from Berkeley in Demography, writing an anthropology of a small lumber town in Oregon. I have worked as a programmer in Linux for almost 10 years, and I am currently employed part time as a software project manager at Portland State.
The first class target: Oct 28, 5:00 to 6:30, 2008. I will probably have to take off a week and delay a class in the middle of the sequence.
