What the Course will Cover

This is designed to be a basic introduction to using the UNIX shell. We will be covering the following topics:

• What is the Shell
• Navigating Files and Directories
• Working with Files and Directories
• Pipes and Filters
• Loops
• Shell Scripts
• Finding Things

This will hopefully teach you all you need to know about using the Shell in order to complete the C++ course.

If you are familiar with all these topics already, then you don't have to attend the Shell course!
