    The course provides a very good overview of the basics if the bash shell and goes from simple commands such as handling directories to automating backup tasks using Crontab. Really good experience!

    It was great course, I was familiar with shell commands but now like I have seen that there are much more capabilities to do. So thanks to the teacher, it was interesting!

    Don't expect too much into the scripting, but this course serves as a very good start point.

    nice guided project....if you are a new Linux user and want to learn terminal commands should take it....its only 1 hour...but you should pause the video and try every command the instructor talks about.this would definitely increase your exposure and knowledge to shell scripting

    Information comes a bit too fast, not all commands are explained and the example script crated during the project ys too advanced, having something simpler that the student can run would be more interesting.
