You Will Learn How To
- Become an expert builder and user of UNIX/Linux tools and utilities
- Perform complex search strings using regular expressions
- Employ standard, programmable text filters to manipulate text and data
- Build shell scripts to automate routine tasks
- Achieve significant productivity gains by matching the mix of tools to the task at hand
- Process structured data with awk
Course Benefits
UNIX and Linux provide a rich set of utilities to enable developers to streamline tasks and maximise productivity. To realise the full power of your UNIX/Linux system, you need to choose the right tools and use them in the right combination. Through extensive in-class hands-on exercises, you gain the knowledge and skills to adapt the UNIX environment to your particular needs.
Who Should Attend
Those who want to maximise the power of their UNIX/Linux system. Knowledge of UNIX or Linux at the level of Course 428, "UNIX Comprehensive Introduction", or Course 143, "Linux Comprehensive Introduction", is assumed.
Hands-on Training
