Overview

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.

  • Very basic introduction to Unix CLI. I found it much too easy, even if I didn't put my hands on a Unix computer for years, but it is as Netwok-Telecom engineer. A newcomer in Unix world would surely appreciate this very hand on formula.
