UNIX & Linux Operating Systems Fundamentals
The UNIX-Linux operating systems are available in many computing environments, from small microcomputers and virtual computers, to the largest supercomputers, and has gained widespread commercial acceptance with its multi-user and multitasking abilities. This course introduces the UNIX and Linux operating system’s user interface. Students learn common commands; practice displaying, copying, moving, and removing files and directories; and discover how to protect data by setting file metacharacters, redirection, and piping symbols at the command line. Other topics include full-screen text editing with VI, electronic communication, simple shell programming, and Shell features. In this class students will select “interactive” projects (associated with the web) to emphasize “test thinking” skills. Projects will correspond with topics discussed in chapter readings.
