What will you learn?
So many developers go years before understanding the basics of shells, terminals, and Linux (or more generally Unix-like systems). Here you'll learn to navigate files and directories, install dependencies, configure your PATH, and use powerful CLI tools like grep, find, and pipes. Never fear the command line again, make it fear you.

Pretty easy to follow with options for Linux, MacOS, and Windows. Very good.

Great course. Made brilliantly for everyone regardless of their software and previous knowledge of using Unix systems. However, some of the areas that students will learn could have been applied more often in future lessons. Although, of course, Boots can simply generate those quests for you, I feel the practice due to its importance should be added directly to the course.
