Introduction to the Unix Shell
Description
The Unix shell has been around longer than most of its users have been alive. It has survived so long because it’s a power tool that allows people to do complex things with just a few keystrokes. More importantly, it helps them combine existing programs in new ways and automate repetitive tasks so they aren’t typing the same things over and over again. Use of the shell is fundamental to using a wide range of other powerful tools and computing resources (including “high-performance computing” supercomputers). These lessons will start you on a path towards using these resources effectively.
This workshop will take place over two consecutive mornings, Tuesday 24th March and Wednesday 25th March, 2026 from 9:00am to 1:00pm AEST each day. Please only register if you are able to fully commit to attending both mornings.
