Hello All!
Okay, I know shell scripting is NOT part of CCNA. So you are wondering why Day 16 I'm covering shell scripting. Well, truth to be told, having CCNA cert alone is probably going to be just the starting point of a very long journey. And if you don't know yet, there are more than just one operating system, floating around in the industry. Knowing your way around Linux and shell scripting for Linux is going to be essential for job hunting. I was highly recommended by my friends and mentors to pick up shell scripting. So on my off time away from cisco training. I'm focusing on learning the basics of linux shell scripting and hopes to be fluent in it and use them on my next job!
Before I start, I'd like to thank Madhur Bhatia and his youtube channel, which can be found HERE. He is a pretty smart guy and has various programming/scripting languages skills in which he creates tutorials for. So if you don't want to end up learning from me, go watch his videos!!!
As always, learning a new language is a long and arduous process. But knowing the steps that it takes to become fluent in it can increase the productivity of your learning. I grew up being a bilingual child and so I understand the meaning of learning a second (actual) language and what it takes to build my way to a conversational level. It will be the same for programming languages. I think Madhur nailed it when he said that the structure of the learning should be as follows:
Words
Sentences
Syntax
Paragraphs
Essays
Mastering each prerequisites will ensure the success of the next step. As I begin my journey onto Linux shell scripting, I will be documenting my learning process, compiling ppt presentations of all the commands to centralize all of my knowledge, and share it with the rest of you. Thank you all for reading my blog,
Here is the Shell Script 101 Presentation!
