If you’re interested in coming to learn a bit of command-line-fu in a very informal environment, please come along to the Maths & Physics building, room 335 any from from 9am.

If you have a computer of your own, do bring it – if you don’t have a University (UTAS) log-in you’ll need your own anyway!

If you’re running Windows, and want to do that on the day, you’ll have to have Cygwin installed.

I’ll run through some basics and there will be worksheets to go through; I’ll also attempt to upload some exercises to the blog over the weekend.

I’ll try to show you how to copy files around, to find out what’s in files without using a GUI, and we might even have a crack at some scripting, to turn tedious jobs into repeatable workflows..

Don’t worry if you haven’t already let me know you’d like to come: just drop by.

Best wishes

Mike
