I do my very best to explain everything in detail. Have you ever wondered why in the movies there’s always some IT person or a hacker typing away into a black box on their computer? Have you ever wondered WHAT they were typing? The simple answer is they are typing commands into a terminal, if you don’t understand what I mean by that, that’s OK! I explain it in this course.
Hopefully by the end of this course you have a solid foundation and understand the structure of what a command looks like, but more important than WHAT is WHY you’d want to use the command line instead of the Graphical User Interface(GUI for short). The simple answer is that it will time, even if you’re a slow typer!
Who this course is for:
- This is a true beginner’s level course, if the idea of a command line/command prompt is foreign to you, then this course is for you. I expect no previous command line experience.
