Starting with the basics of the shell, you will learn simple
commands and how to apply them to real-world issues. From there,
you'll learn text processing, web interactions, network and system
monitoring, and system tuning. Software engineers will learn how to
examine system applications, how to use modern software management
tools such as git and fossil for their own work, and how to submit
patches to open-source projects. Finally, you'll learn how to set
up Linux Containers and Virtual machines and even run your own
Cloud server with a free SSL Certificate from letsencrypt.org.
