About the Course
Top reviews
This is a very friendly step-by-step guide to Unix for beginners, it helps to build a solid foundation, and the exercises are designed to explore more about what has been introduced in the course.
A wonderful course! Answered so many questions I had and gave me a solid background in Git, Bash, makefiles, and working from the cloud. I will definitely be using these skills in my job search!

•This course is very boring. But teaches you how to use Bash Shell.
I'm very disappointed and sad at this moment actually, because I want to move on to do other courses but this course is standing in the way of my progress. I just can't seem to get over the last few lectures of week 3. The form of teaching is not enjoyable enough to come back to the material, although what you learn is actually viable.
I have to stomach it and get through this course as quickly as possible, cause the mere thought of coming to it bothers my brain.
Overall, do it if you need to.

•This course is completely based on the book. There are very few instructional videos, most of the course consists of reading material. I learned a lot, but just wish there were more instructional videos and less reading material.
By Anthony A
•You need videos, not enough and all reading here, although it was the easiest course I've even started and completed. Took less than 1 day to complete and pass.
By Jessie
•Good if you've never worked with Linux/Unix before, very elementary. Some of the questions on one of the quizzes require wrong answers.
By Ahmed M A M M
•The studying material demonstration is not fit for everyone and I see that it needs more explaining video from an instructor.
By Ivan
•Pretty average. Would advise to pursue a Linux Foundation course. Or use linuxzoo.net
By Thomas L
•It's helpful if you want to know a thing or two about Bash.
