Intro to Unix for Mac OS X

     This course examines the Unix Command Line Interface which is accessible through the Mac application "Terminal". This feature provides tremendous power for intermediate and advanced users. The "Terminal" session opens a Shell session using a program call "Bash". This is the same shell program used on other Unix and Linux Operating Systems, so all skills are immediately transferable to those environments. This course will teach the basics of Unix for Mac users.
