Description
This course treats the logical power of the UNIX/AIX and Linux command shell, an extreme powerful environment for efficient programming.
This course covers all the possibilities of the program structures in the UNIX shell scripts. The use of the classic program logic in shell procedures and the syntax for programming is clearly explained, as well as the meaning and the possibilities of AWK.
Throughout the course a substantial amount of time is spent on practical exercises and case studies.
On successful completion of this course you will be able to:
- describe and explain all the possibilities of the program structures in the UNIX shell scripts
- use shell syntax for programming
- use AWK.
