DESCRIPTION
JOIN THE THOUSANDS OF SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS WHO HAVE ALREADY
MASTERED BASH PROGRAMMING AND THE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM WITH
ONE OF MY TOP RATED COURSES! If you want to learn how to write
bash shell scripts like a pro, solve real-world problems, or
automate repetitive and complex tasks, read on. Hello. My name
is Jason Cannon and I'm the author of Linux for Beginners,
Python Programming for Beginners, and the founder of the Linux
Training Academy. I started my IT career in the late 1990's as
a
Unix and Linux System Engineer and I'll be sharing my real-
world
bash scripting and shell programming experience with you
throughout this course. By the end of this course you will be
able to create bash scripts with ease. You'll learn how to
take
tedious and repetitious tasks and turn them into programs that
will save you time and simplify your life on Linux, Unix, or
MAC
systems. ____________________ Here is what you will get and
learn by taking this Bash Scripting course: A step-by-step
process of writing bash shell scripts that solve real-world
problems. The #1 thing you must do every time you create a
bash
script. How to quickly find and fix the most common shell
scripting errors. For those of you who want to start
programming
right away, watch the two video shell scripting crash course.
If
you do nothing else than watch these two videos you'll be
ahead
of most bash programmers. How to accept input from a user and
then make decisions on that input. How to accept and process
command line arguments. What special variables are available,
how to use them in your shell scripts, and when to do so. A
shell script creation check list -- You'll never have to guess
what to include in each of your shell scripts again. Just use
this simple check list. A shell script template (boilerplate).
Use this format for each of your shell scripts. It shows
exactly
what to include and where everything goes. Eliminate
guesswork!
Practice exercises with solutions so you can start using what
you learn right away. Real-world examples of shell scripts
from
my personal collection. A download that contains the scripts
used in the presentations and lessons. You'll be able to look
at
and experiment with everything you're learning. Quizzes after
each section just to make sure you're learning the most
important aspects of shell scripting. Learn to Program Using
Any
Shell What you learn in this course can be applied to any
shell,
however the focus is on the bash shell and you'll learn some
really advanced bash features. Again, whether you're using
bash,
bourne (sh), KornShell (ksh), C shell (csh), Z shell (zsh), or
even the tcsh shell, you'll be able to put what you learn in
this course to good use. Perfect for Linux, Unix, Mac and
More!
Also, you'll be able to use these scripts on any Linux
environment including Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, RedHat,
Fedora, OpenSUSE, Slackware, Kali Linux and more. You're
scripts
will even run on other operating systems such as Apple's Mac
OS
X, Oracle's Solaris, IBM's AIX, HP's HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD,
and
OpenBSD. (Sorry, this course is NOT for Windows scripting or
powershell scripting.) Here's What People Are Saying About
