In this course you will learn Linux Bash Scripting and learn how to automate tasks using the Linux command line. This journey will explore the process of writing scripts, best practices, critical concepts that are required to write efficient scripts, with examples that are clear and easy to understand.

During the course, the student will start out with simple examples to get started, such as a “hello world” script, which is an important tradition, but from there, each example will build on the last and teach new concepts. After writing introductory Bash scripts, the student will learn how to set up branching (if statements, while loops, etc). From there, menu-driven scripts via case statements are shown, and then more advanced concepts such as data streams, sub shells, and much, much, more!
