It doesnt matter if youre working with Windows or Linux operating system: taking a good command line tutorial is something every programmer and system administrator should do. Using the terminal gives you greater control and more options, thus making you more flexible and able to deal with a broader set of tasks on hand.

Many mispronounced words makes it hard to understand at times.

By Nick Reznick on 12/13/2020

Great Command Line foundation builder.

By Tara Belinsky on 12/13/2020

Very good for absolute beginners, but to elementary for experienced users.

By Jose Reyes on 12/6/2020

good match.

By Eric Perkins on 12/6/2020

I found this course to be very well presented and full of good information almost immediately. The first sections may seem elementary to some, but there was still value tucked in there. Good course, one I think I will turn back to in the future.

By Joe Lampe on 12/6/2020

I like this tutorial because it shows you easily how to use the command line, and will give you only the background you need and no more - which Is great because it makes for a quick and efficient learning experience.

By Shonhelle Lew on 11/18/2020

Excellent course! Great review of command line with just enough detail to get the job done. Organization of topics is easy to follow. Helpful examples.

By John Lesser on 11/9/2020

Likes: Feeling more comfortable navigating within linux. The site ss64.com that was promoted at the end of the course that has every os cmd. Enjoyed the break down of 'grep', 'cat', and 'echo'
Dislikes: Accent was thick and closed captions weren't exactly accurate. It was a light overview of both Linux and Windows command line and the jumping between the two wasn't clear at times. Wished it went more in depth (although im sure thats something you offer) with some of the commands/command structure/how to string commands together (but the basics were good and for a four hour course this was a good spring board)

By Michael on 11/8/2020

One and a half hours in, and i learned:
Change folder
Make folder
Rename folder
Open explorer
And im sorry your accent is very hard to understand

By Ronald Scott on 10/13/2020

It's difficult to understand the accent of the instructor but it forces me to listen more attentively.

By Rafael Gallardo on 10/5/2020

The professor has an extreme accent

By Bruce Cataldi on 9/26/2020

It was what I wanted to learn. The best command line course.
