Course Description

This course teaches beginning Linux shell scripting in the Bash shell. The emphasis in the course is on the scripting language itself: using scripts to automate common tasks, and the logic within the language used to control the execution of the script.

The course is in two units, and contains over an hour of demos and discussion. This is the second part of the Linux course series from EDUMobile Academy.


In the first unit of the course, we’ll explore the shell environment itself, and cover such topics as:

- a simple hello world script
- making scripts executable
- why we run a script with a ./ and how to remove it
- running a script to act upon the currently running shell
- variables and how to use them
- the .bashrc file

The second unit covers scripting commands, particularly control flow. Topics include:

- exit status of shell commands
- the if statement and tests
- handling command line arguments
- random numbers
- loops (while, until, and for)
- the case statement

I hope you join me for this beginner’s guide to the bash scripting language!

It could be confusing for a beginner. The author uses some terms without explaining the logic behind them.

Rick is just good at this. I have a few of his courses and they all are favorites. Clear. Complete and good

Yes. I used bash about 8 years ago, and forgot nearly everything. This was a great refresher. The professor speaks English well, and is quite easy to understand.

By Anonymized User on 9/26/2016

the intro and outro are to loud in relation to the voice and realy annoying. i had to turn up the speed. (spoken too slow, getting tired) the example's are not so appealing

By Marek Muszynski on 4/9/2016

Great course for a beginners, very informative, well chosen context, it has all necessary information to start with linux shell. great instructor. If you have no experience with linux shell just go with this course.

By María del Mar Cardona Aranda on 3/18/2016

With this course I got a 9.5 (the max is 10) in a practice. The 0.5 I didn't get was a redaction fail. I can say that course is really good!

By Jeremy Springfield on 3/11/2016

This is a very focused course perfect for beginners to scripting with Linux. The content is highly focused and specialized. It is purely about creating a file, altering its permissions, and running that file. I appreciate the quick intro without covering all the basics of linux. Thank you!

By David Mackay on 3/4/2016

Very good beginning course for Linux. All of the examples were easy to understand and the instruction was clear. Thanks!

By Jonathon Pemberton on 2/24/2016

Easy to follow along, great explanations. Provides an excellent overview of shell scripting, and even explains where some of the names of the commands came from which is really interesting.

By Ariel Jimenez on 2/19/2016

this is the best course because its 100% HANDS-ON. from the start, we begin practicing SHELL SCRIPTING with some of the COOLEST EXAMPLES, using a GREAT VARIETY of TERMINAL COMMANDS for a truly rich and deep understanding of the scripting process. detailed discussion about such important concepts like PATH and many others. 5*
