stuff enjoyable with the added anecdotes and humor.

A great way to take your Perl skills beyond the basics. If you need to make
your Perl code more robust, efficient, and secure, you need to take this
course!

This course
is for those who want to start down the path to
becoming UNIX/Linux Power-Users.
It provides an introduction to Shell scripting and
hands-on experience with the most important UNIX/Linux utilities, including
vi,
grep,
sed,
awk,
and
sort.
You won't learn a thing about how to
set your screen's background to show a photo of your cat,
but by the end of the class you'll be comfortable
setting file permissions, using the vi (or vim) editor to edit files
and mistyped commands,
using regular expressions to select matching text from files,
composing multi-stage pipelines that generate custom reports,
writing custom shell scripts, and accessing
remote systems using the Secure Shell.
For this offering of the course, we'll have both UNIX and Linux systems on hand so
students can appreciate their numerous similarities, and minor differences, from an
end-user's point of view.

course outline

This course teaches you how to use free CPAN code in your
programs, so you won't have to duplicate the effort of writing
the equivalent code yourself. There's nothing else you can learn
about Perl that will enhance your productivity more!
In this special offering, we'll spend extra time on
Perl's CGI module, which is widely used by savvy Web
programmers to:
-
create web pages, while relieving them of the responsibility of
getting the HTML right, and
-
process user-submitted forms, while relieving them of the
responsibility of parsing the data out of the fields on
their own.

This course shows the student how to create custom programs
using the basic features of UNIX/Linux shells of the "Bourne/Korn/POSIX"
family (which excludes the C-shell).
The student also learns how to organize utility
programs into pipelines, which can obviate the need to write custom
programs. The Instructor will demonstrate common mistakes and
defenses against them, and the use of the Consultix
Shell Quoting Guidelines,
which make a notoriously difficult operation easier to handle.

The
Shell Programming course
teaches the grammar of the language, which is essential knowledge, but
of little value without a familiarity with its vocabulary, which is
covered in this course.
Students learn how to use essential utility programs, such as
sed,
grep,
sort,
tail,
tr,
find,
xargs,
and especially
awk
(the much simpler predecessor to Perl),
to quickly solve data processing problems.

This unique and innovative course
teaches a carefully crafted subset of Perl
that's easily learned by UNIX and Linux people,
and that provides a solid foundation for writing custom programs to handle
common types of data processing tasks.
Dr. Tim Maher has been using this technnique to teach Perl since 2000, in corporate
training classes and Perl conferences, and it's the subject of his
critically acclaimed book
Minimal Perl.
