The Unix Workbench
Unix forms a foundation that is often very helpful for accomplishing other goals you might have for you and your computer, whether that goal is running a business, writing a book, curing disease, or creating the next great app. The means to these goals are sometimes carried out by writing software. Software can’t be mined out of the ground, nor can software seeds be planted in spring to harvest by autumn. Software isn’t produced in factories on an assembly line. Software is a hand-made, often bespoke good. If a software developer is an artisan, then Unix is their workbench.

Introducción a la terminal de comandos de Linux
Linux es un sistema operativo popular que se basa en el sistema operativo de Unix. Tiene muchas distribuciones que tienen diferentes interfaces para instalar software, diferentes interfaces de usuario, etc. Una cosa que todas las 'distros' tienen en común es que todas tienen una interfaz de línea de comandos, o terminal. De hecho, a veces no hay ninguna interfaz de usuario excepto la propia terminal. Un servidor Linux que ejecuta una aplicación web en AWS, por ejemplo, puede contener sólo el software necesario para ejecutar la aplicación, y ninguna interfaz gráfica de usuario en absoluto.

Command Line in Linux
Linux is a popular operating system that is based on the Unix operating system. It has many distributions which have different interfaces for installing software, different user interfaces, and so on. One thing all of the ‘distros’ have in common is that they all have a command line interface, or terminal. In fact, sometimes there is no user interface except the terminal itself. A Linux server running a web application on AWS, for example, may only contain the software required to run the application, and no GUI ‘window’ system at all.

Practical Introduction to the Command Line
In this project, you will use the UNIX command line to create photo albums that organize photos into directories by date. You'll learn what's the difference between a terminal, bash, command-line, and prompt. With lots of hands-on exercises, you'll master the most fundamental Unix commands for navigating, manipulating and inspecting files. Interacting with a computer through a command-line interface (CLI) is a powerful technique. In such an interface, you type commands telling the computer to perform desired tasks.
