Unix forms a foundation that is often very helpful for accomplishing other goals you might have for you and your computer, whether that goal is running a business, writing a book, curing disease, or creating the next great app. The means to these goals are sometimes carried out by writing software. Software can’t be mined out of the ground, nor can software seeds be planted in spring to harvest by autumn. Software isn’t produced in factories on an assembly line. Software is a hand-made, often bespoke good. If a software developer is an artisan, then Unix is their workbench. Unix provides an essential and simple set of tools in a distraction-free environment. Even if you’re not a software developer learning Unix can open you up to new methods of thinking and novel ways to scale your ideas.

Unix and Command Line Basics
This week we'll help you get access to Unix (you may already be using it), and you'll start using the command line. We'll draw parallels between using your mouse and keyboard with your computer's graphics versus only using the command line.
Working with Unix
Now we'll get into the power of different Unix tools. We'll walk through several scenarios where you could use Unix to perform tasks at a much faster speed than you would be able to normally.
Bash Programming
During this week we'll unleash the command line's usefulness as a programming language. By the end of this week you'll be writing your own little computer programs that you can use on the command line.
Git and GitHub
First you'll learn how to use Git, which is like "track changes" for your code and plain text files, but much more powerful. We'll then explore how to use Git with GitHub, a social coding network where you can publish you projects and explore other's code.
Nephology
Finally we'll set up a cloud computing environment so we can explore how computers communicate with each other using the internet.

A wonderful course! Answered so many questions I had and gave me a solid background in Git, Bash, makefiles, and working from the cloud. I will definitely be using these skills in my job search!
It is suitable for Unix/Linux beginners who are new to shell. It introduces popular code sharing and merging tool GitHub, which most programmers would find very useful in software development.
Very good course. I had a fair working knowledge to begin with, but the course expanded my understanding and skills to where I can actively apply them in my work. It comes highly recommended.
Great course if you're getting used to Linux, working in the shell and automating the little things. This course comes with a convenient E-book which I've used to refer back to a few times.
A very good course!\n\nBefore taking this course, I was a little worried to work with Linux. But now I really feel more comfortable with it.\n\nThanks to the instructor for his efforts.
The course was really interactive. It was a fun experience.\n\nWould have been better if you had provided the learning experience in visual form rather readable.\n\nAnyways Kudos!
Fantastic book for beginners as well as people who haven't worked on Unix for a long time. Brush up and get going. Very lucid presentation ; gitHub lessons were an additional plus
Nice content to get you started with Unix and it's power. It would have been good if it would have covered symbolic links and file structure. those are anyway covered in the book
Thanks to this course I was able to learn git. Git really saved me when I was doing my Qt assignments cause sometimes it was really difficult to find what broke the code.
Excellent introduction to the command line and github. Great as it goes past superificial introductions and teaches programming and manipulation of the command line.
Good intro, I recommended see documentation for each command using in bash: $ man [command_name] for better understanding and to see the arguments you can pass in.
Very useful course, I am using lots of remote high performance computers. This class definitely improves my understanding on Unix Shell and working efficiency.
Great course for beginners. Proves to be a great reference for people who are working on multiple platforms and tend to forget syntax of different languagess
I learn so many new commands from this course.\n\nand one more important thing is basic standard skeleton of bash programming as well as git-hub basic.
Coming from Unix background myself, I would recommend this course to every newbie in Unix field and any IT/Operations/Development professional as well!
Excellent introductory course in to Unix and utilizing some of the basic command line functions as well as some of the progarmming structure basics.
Very comprehensive and hands-on! Great to get an understanding of the subject matter and gives you enough information and knowledge to build on.
This course was extremely helpful to my CS studies. I think a course like this should be a required intro class for every college CS major.
This was one of the best courses on Coursera. I really liked it's open-minded structure and nice introduction to unix environment.
Very useful and Thanks to Sean Kross. And really appreciated Mateusz Kita who gives me instructions to make my assignment better!
