Bash Shell Scripting: From Zero To Automation

About Bash Shell Scripting: From Zero To Automation

Do you know any

real and practical

Bash Shell script? There is a lot of abstract Bash Scripting that shows you isolated elements of bash programming. However this can go only so far. You will not be ready for

real world programming in your job

if you have a theory based knowledge. In this Course We will cover

ALL

the basics of terminal and bash scripting thoroughly, but without wasting any time,

we will then Automate 6 Simple and Real Task

with Bash Scripts that you can use in your everyday life as a programmer. They are carefully selected

to build all the skills

you need in Bash Scripting. For this Reason they are

of incremental complexity.

We will present and explain in details a command or a practice in Bash Scripting ONLY when it will be used in one of our main real world scripts, and we will build it together step by step, showing you the best practices when programming a real script. In this way, not only will you learn ALL the fundamental ( and even some advanced ) elements in Bash Scripting, but you will know how to apply those in a Real scenario to solve a Real Problem. Everything is explained at a

slow pace

and

thoroughly

to make sure you can follow along. Even if you never used the command line, the First 2 Sections will teach you all the tools necessary to use the command line and start writing your shell scripts, nothing important is left out, nothing useless is left in.

By the end of the course you'll be writing your own Shell Scripts, in particular you will learn how to:

Use the command line

Automate tasks using Shell Scripts

Create and use variables in your scripts

Manipulate variables to a wide extent

Use Wildcards

Use Input and output Redirection

Source subshells

Make decisions by using if-else statements

Loop through files and folders

Make decision based on strings, variables or files

Use arithmetic expression

Use advanced computations with the BC command line environment

Scripts with parameters and how to "shift"

Change the Internal field separator plus why and when to do so.

Use Arrays

How to properly use your PATH, and a script to work with it

Create Shell Scripts that solves real world problems

and much more...

You will write Scripts that:

1. Move back any numbers of directories you want in the terminal 2. Find the longest string inside any text file 3. Performs computations that terminal normally does NOT allow 4. Read files in your Linux system that have particular separators ( not the usual space ) 5. Get clear Information of files in your PATH, the most important environment variable of your system 6. Use arrays to know how many times your files were modified during the day Writing these scripts will allow you to develop an actual skill in creating scripts to solve real problems. You can Become a Programmer in Bash Scripting who knows how to solve actual problems. and You can start now. Looking forward to see you there. Francesco
