ABOUT THE SESSION:

The Unix environment is incredibly powerful but quite daunting to the newcomer.  Command  line  confidence  unlocks  powerful  computing resources  beyond  the  desktop,  including  virtual  machines  and  High Performance Computing. It enables repetitive tasks to be automated. And it comes with a swag of handy tools that can be combined in powerful ways. Getting started is the hardest part, but our helpful instructors are there to demystify Unix as you get to work running programs and writing scripts on the command line.

Every attendee is given a dedicated training environment for the duration of the workshop, with all software and data fully loaded and ready to run.

We teach this course within a GNU/Linux environment. This is best characterised  as  a Unix-like  environment.  We  teach  how  to  run commands within the Bash Shell. The skills you'll learn at this course are generally transferable to other Unix environments.

Please note that places are limited.

EoI applications close on Fri Aug 23 2019 and applicants will be notified by Fri Aug 23 2019 whether their application has been successful.
