[Ryan Curtin]

The Linux Users Group at Georgia Tech presents

"Introduction to the Command Line"
  by Ryan Curtin

Wednesday, Sep. 22nd, 2010, 7:00 PM
Klaus Advanced Computing Building, room 2456

Overview:

  For many new Linux users, the idea of using the command line can be
daunting.  Indeed, there is a steep learning curve to gain proficiency
with the command line, but this presentation sets out to simplify all
the concepts involved.  Starting with the very simple, and moving up to
more complex and powerful, the attendee will leave with an understanding
of how powerful and versatile the command line can be, and more
importantly, where and how to look for reference and tips.  Concepts and
topics covered will include basic commands and directory navigation,
environment variables, basic regular expressions and batch operations,
output redirection, an introduction to powerful scripting tools, code
compilation, editing, and execution tools, and a handful of case studies
where complex tasks are performed using simple tools.  This presentation
is aimed at the new Linux user who wants to know how to use the command
line powerfully and elegantly but does not know where to begin; however,
seasoned Linux users might learn a thing or two too.

Upcoming presentations:

  2010.09.29: "Neat Tricks Roundtable"
  2010.10.06: "Video Encoding"
  2010.10.13: "The Fedora Build System"
