November 2021 / Linux Shell Basics
Part of Scientific Computing in Practice lecture series at Aalto University.
Audience: employees and students looking for an extensive intro into Linux shell / terminal.
About the course: Linux shell is what you get when you open a terminal. This course will cover all the basics that we will need later on for the most part of the courses given during the year. We will unleash the power of that blinking cursor in the terminal window. Windows/Mac/Linux users are warmly welcome.
We will start with somewhat basics like files and processes and go up to command line magic like redirections and pipes. This should be enough to get started with the Linux terminal.
There is an advanced part of this course given later in the spring. There on we go through the programming techniques including advanced ones, while here we get familiar with the command line.
Lecturer: Ivan Degtyarenko, D. Sc., Science IT / Department of Applied Physics, Aalto University

Other comments: During the tutorials we’ll use a terminal with a BASH shell, means that either you have a Linux/Mac computer at your place or a Windows PC with the Git BASH, or VDI to a Linux, or SSH client installed for accessing any of Linux server (kosh/lyta etc at Aalto, we will touch the SSH connection issue on the first session).
