• Command-Line Kung Fu: White Belt

  by Hal Pomeranz

  I teach Linux/Unix skills to hundreds of students every year. Many of them are relatively inexperienced with the Unix command line and I see them getting frustrated or taking round-about approaches to solving problems, when in reality just knowing a few simple tricks would make them vastly more productive.

  Topics covered include:
  -- Command line history and tab completion skills
  -- Fun with find and xargs
  -- Loop constructs
  -- cut vs. awk
  -- sort and uniq

  The talk is interactive and full of live demos. Students can bring their own laptops and play along.

  • bash
  • command-line
  • Linux
  • PowerShell
  • Unix

  At 1:45pm to 3:30pm, Thursday 18th June
