Beginner dev tutorial: Learn the command line

1

The Command Line is a vital tool, allowing you to run programs, write scripts, automate tasks, and combine simple commands right on your computer. Learn how to use the Command Line to work with data—a tool most developers use every day.

You’ll use common and advanced commands on unix based systems, such as Linux and Mac OSX, that will jumpstart your ability to develop programs in a short amount of time. You’ll work with navigating the filesystem, manipulating files and directories, redirecting input and output, and configuring the environment—all in the context of a real hands-on project.

Aside from development, from my experience, it’s almost impossible to administer a server (file, development, mail or web server) without the use of a command line (AKA shell). So knowledge of the command line is vital for every techie.

I will also advise that the Linux shell be mastered since most servers run on Linux; basic knowledge of the Windows Command Line is sufficient for most tasks.
