Simple but clear! Helped me as a beginner. I saved this course to watch the videos over and over again and fix the lessons even more in my mind.

very well detailed explanation on bash, shell scripting and other useful shell commands. The course was neatly organized and explained clearly, without over dumping with the knowledge.

É utile avere una rapida interfaccia per visualizzare le lezioni ma non mi piace come funziona se devi scaricare la lezione sul telefonino. Il sistema non funziona bene e dopo un aggiornamento di iOS non sono più riuscito ad entrare nella lezione. Ho dovuto disinstallare il client di Udemy e reinstallare tutto. Il sistema va migliorato. Se mi trovo come ora senza linea. Internet non posso comunque consultare le lezioni.

It is simply a presentation of the most important things connected to each of the sections topic with a few practical examples. It's just a taste of what the Bash has to offer. However to truly understand all the topics much self-study is required to expand the knowledge.

I really enjoyed listening to this course as compared to the other shell script courses I have listened to, this one has a lot of additional content about tools that will help in my usage of shell script. I learned a lot about shell script in this course.

Good introduction for shell commands and scripting. node.js and Docker information probably should be in separate course.
By Yarden Ish-Shalom on 2/15/2023

The course is well-structured and covers a wide range of topics related to the Bash shell, including basic commands, file and directory manipulation, and shell scripting. The instructor is knowledgeable and provides clear and concise explanations of the various concepts and commands. The course also includes many hands-on exercises and real-world examples, which helps me to better understand and apply the material. One aspect of the course that I particularly appreciate is the focus on best practices and efficient use of the Bash shell. The instructor provides tips and tricks for making the most of the shell, which helps me to become more proficient and efficient in my use of the command line. Overall, I would recommend this Bash course to anyone who is looking to improve their knowledge and skills in using the Bash shell. It is a comprehensive and engaging course that provides a solid foundation in Bash and is suitable for beginners and intermediate users alike.

The instructor delivers an easy-to-follow approach. The course has a good structure, and the content is on point with what I need for my job.

Fundamental are perfectly covered. He is a good teacher, and I have seen his Python series also. Initially, I struggled to configure VM on my sony Vaio and wasted a lot of time but later find the VM environment online. Thanks for the course.
