I've structured this course in a way that any user with zero knowledge can follow along.

Every command and concept will be explained thoroughly and visualised with slides for better understanding.

This course is a beginners only!

The first section is all about teaching you the foundational skills needed to work with the Bash (Shell) and upon this knowledge you will write your first scripts and automate tasks.

  • Navigate through directories like your right pocket

  • Write simple Shell scripts

  • Automate tasks with self written scripts

  • Create & use variables

I saw around 22+ videos, these are no where useful for shell scripting

By Markus Steinmetzer on 2/14/2021

Servus, danke für die tollen Erklärungen. Ich komme eher aus der Windows Welt und habe kaum bis gar nicht mit Bash/Shell zu tun gehabt, aber leider laufen die meisten Server ja auf Linux und musste deshalb die Grundkenntnisse erlernen.

Mike Kilic is a great teacher! Whole course is prepared well, everything is explained very clearly. I can honestly recommend this course! Mike, thank you for your great job, for your time spent to make this course :) All the best! :) Chris

Thanks! I had some previous experience already, but only the very basics to perform some tasks i learned online. I learned a couple of more useful commands and more importantly somewhat understand what's happening behind the scenes.

very quick yet great explanation of topics

I have taken a lecture introducing shell in Missing Semester, which is why I think this course may not be that helpful for someone who took that lecture.

By Rytone Odhiambo on 10/13/2020

The instructor is absolutely incredible, really love the method he used for explaining making it super simple ans exciting at the same time

By Glucker Ludwig on 10/13/2020

Clear and well structured. I'm new to programming and I need to use the Terminal to do certain tasks in VSC and stuff in the Web was rather confusing... I'm halfway through but I think i got a good understanding of the basics now

By Jack Dope on 10/12/2020

Well structured course, I'm only in the second section but those slides are actually amazing. They're really helpful to grasp the concepts

By NevicTom on 10/11/2020

Very well structured course. I had very little exp with Bash but i learned a couple of things. The Slides are amazing, they really help to understand what's going on on the background! Also awesome Cheat sheet, pretty much a summary of the whole course.
