Build your skills with Unix-based operating systems. This workshop will teach you how to control your computer using the command-line interface (CLI), an application central to your developer workflow. Everyday programming requires that we know how to seamlessly configure and manipulate the computer.
These skills are especially important for the following careers: Machine Learning, IT/System Administrators, Cyber Security, Game Development, Web Development
Details
Learning how to manipulate your operating system from the Command-line Interface (CLI) is an often overlooked skill for software developers. There are very few careers where you'll not be required to use a terminal. Being effective at operating your machine with a few keyboard strokes remains an important skill today.
Mastering the Terminal is among the easier skills to improve because of its natural hard limits. Commands are well-worn, easy to modify and easy to augment. Understanding the Terminal unlocks powerful tools and options for the skilled programmer. For many professions, you can't avoid a Terminal -- it may be the central tool for your daily tasks.
Lunch included (in-person workshops only).
