Course Description

Linux is a very powerful operating system and has become a must mention on resume to get a successful job.

In this course we will take things from the scratch. We will first have a detailed look in various questions that a Linux beginner always face before getting started. After that we will learn to install Linux in virtual box or VMplayer so that your windows or MAC remains still available for you. Unfortunately, if anything goes wrong, you can just uninstall the software and reinstall it.

Further, we will then explore basics of Linux like file system, basic commands and permissions. Linux file system is bit different than windows, so a Linux user must understand about file structure and permissions to execute the scripts that we will learn to create in this course.

Further we will move to shell scripting part and explore the basics like variable declaration, basic operation and conditionals. In the latter part of the course, we will learn about various loops and loop control keywords.

Linux is very easy to use operating system but the reason it sounds bit intimidating is that you have to learn few basic commands. But things have changed now, Linux can also run completely on the Graphical User interface too. The cool visual effects in Ubuntu and fedora have become a reason for many kinds to get started with linux.

Here are some facts about linux:

    ·Linux nominated as world’s second most secure operating system after OpenBSD, which is UNIX based. For eg. The super computer takes about 5 years to break the password of the root user.

    ·Linux distributions have become increasingly popular on mainframes in the last decade due to pricing.

    ·Some 95% of the servers used by Hollywood's large animation studios are powered by Linux.

    ·Google runs its web servers on Linux.

    So, lets get started with your first linux class.

The examples were very basic but easy to learn and execute on you own. Very good class for the beginner.

By Jonathan Martin on 12/19/2016

This course covers the basics at a good speed. The instructor is clearly knowledgable and has a good pace and tone. There are a few exercises in the course, but a few more would be good and solutions would also be useful.

By Chaitanya Pande on 11/28/2016

Although it's a start up course for All Levels, the action on command line starts only at the end of each movie, too much talk in the beginning of each movie. Even if I am new to Linux and shell scripting, I expect a little depth that was missing

By Garry Mills on 11/22/2016

Explanation of topics are clear, like instructor style of teaching

By Carter Nivek on 9/2/2016

A very quick and detailed basic overview. I enjoyed the fresh look at this operating system for a new developer. Well done.

By Madhusudana Suryadevara on 5/4/2016

It is great except ch 26, case statements syntax (files and directories) seems a bit rough. Without explaining what the syntax does, it will be hard to digest the material.

By Earnest Redwood on 4/10/2016

I believe that this a great one on one on course. The instructor has done a great job explaining scripting.

By Rad Velez on 12/5/2015

for a beginner class, but there are better programs out there that teach shell programming. I just feel that there wasn't enough and left me wanting more.

By Pranav Madapurmath on 6/4/2015

There are quite a few free online tutorials....Check this out... http://ryanstutorials.net/linuxtutorial/navigation.php

By Christopher Davis on 4/2/2015

Im relatively familiar with scripting but needed a better understanding of shell scripting. The instructor spends over half the videos on fluff and setup. The other half are very simple and he does a good job explaining. I would have liked to have seen some legitimate challenges to perform with answer on the next video or in the resources. At times it was hard to understand what he was trying to infer. Otherwise, it was a good course. Its worth
