The Basix of Unix, as explained by a language teacher - an introduction to the world beyond the borders of Windowsland and underneath Jony Ive's shiny brushed aluminium, possibly taking a the scenic route past Richard Stallman's post-apocalyptic safety bunker.
Basically, I want to do a talk that says enough that it'll help you speaking *nix well enough that you don't accidentally call its mother a horse and induce kernel panic. It'll cover Unix philosophy in general, but focus on how to think about and start using:
the magic of pipes (eg. some bash recipes and why/how they do what they do)
stdin/stdout/stderr and redirection (eg. what does 2>&1 do?)
pids (eg. finding a locked process and sending SIGKILL 9 to it)
