    About the Course

    In this project, you will use the UNIX command line to create photo albums that organize photos into directories by date. You'll learn what's the
    difference between a terminal, bash, command-line, and prompt. With lots of hands-on exercises, you'll master the most fundamental Unix
    commands for navigating, manipulating and inspecting files. Interacting with a computer through a command-line interface (CLI) is a powerful
    technique. In such an interface, you type commands telling the computer to perform desired tasks. Mastering the command line can greatly
    improve your productivity during development.

    Instructor was hard to understand and spoke too fast. The CC was only slightly helpful. There needs to be more background explanation as to why certain terms and symbols are used, such as echo, $, CD etc. I attempted the first two lessons multiple times and could not follow the content. As a true beginner, this course seemed to be designed for people who have a least a try understanding of command line.

    Very shallow and short with very little content. You can find better tutorials in google by writing bash tutorial. And the certificat is a joke. Potentional employer will laugh at you if you show him certificat for be able to list files in directory

    No offence especially I'm also not a native English speaker. But the lecturer's accent is a bit too strong, which is quite distracting.
