Course Overview

The Unix Workbench programme is intended for the participants who are introduced to programming and operating systems of Unix like macOS and Ubuntu. In this course, the participants would come across various technologies that would be read through a command-line interface. The course is not only designed for software developers or computer engineers, but it also introduces the candidates with new practices of thinking and narrative ways to measure the objectives.

Unix creates a base from achieving the goals that are performed by setting down software. Software is not something that is manufactured in the factories, it is a handmade displayed asset. The developer is always considered as an artisan and the Unix is a raw material for them. The course would establish a cloud computing environment to explore computer communication using the internet. The participants will have hands-on experience on different devices of Unix.
