Each & every step/concept explained well & in simple way
By Yogesh Shankar Gandal on 8/2/2025
just completed this course from start to end, and the transformation was incredible. I dont know scripting at first, but by sincerely following the lessons, I didn’t even realize when my brain and fingers started working. The course content was well-structured, but I’d love to see even more real-time projects to practice on. Kindly update. Thank you

He makes learning bash look easy. And the mode of teaching is hands-on which is very helpful. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn bash scripting.

Narendra P is one of great teacher I have ever come across. His way of teaching skill is excellent, and I used to think like scripting/programming is something which I can't learn. But Narendra has broken those thoughts into the pieces. Thank you, Narendra, for this wonderful course!

The tutorials are so simple and it helps me to clear my basis view on shell scripting. Thanks to faculty and udemy.
By Kamron Noel on 6/14/2024
This course is a nightmare for beginners. Most of the so-called "training" is just fumbling through various software applications. The instructions are abysmal, offering little to no guidance on how to use them. I wasted three hours just in the first section trying to connect countless pieces of software with barely any direction and minimal coding support. It's a complete mess.

In the beginning it was a bit tedious but now it turns out that each chapter correlates very well to the previous one which makes it very easy to follow and try out stuff while following the course. Would recommend

On 1 SeptemberI 2023 following was my comment : I have completed section 4 and it feels like Sir has opened my head fitting all the bash scripting-related knowledge directly in my brain. Thank you for sharing this knowledge. Today on 18-September-2023 I have completed Section 13 and on Lecture number 68 Case statement. I would say that from lecture 1 till 68 I haven't lost interest for even a second as the faculty has maintained that repo by giving simple and easily understandable examples to remember very quickly without getting bored of Shell Scripting. I mean after learning from this faculty I started loving the if, if else, if elif elif, case statement so much earlier I was supposed to get bored of it but now I am enjoying it. Thank you might be a small word, but if there is something huge, I would like to dedicate you, Sir. Thanks for sharing this knowledge with us. I am sure now that further lectures would also same interesting as the previous 68 as I have completed more than 65% of the videos and nowhere in any of the videos have I found uninteresting or have you missed any topic to explain. Once again Thank you so much. I am going to give 5 star for the first time in my life.
