Learning section 3 (CLI) #9

Closed zacanger closed 4 years ago

zacanger commented 4 years ago

This explains some of the backstory behind what the deal is with the CLI, Unix, etc: https://smorgasborg.artlung.com/C_R_Y_P_T_O_N_O_M_I_C_O_N.shtml It's long but might be worth linking as optional reading.

This has a list of CLI alternatives to GUI actions: https://github.com/you-dont-need/You-Dont-Need-GUI

Codecademy CLI course: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-the-command-line

And another course: https://www.learnenough.com/command-line-tutorial/basics

That codecademy course is no longer free, unfortunately :(

I really like learnenough. It suggests installing an ubuntu VM. This is attractive, but it might not be feasible for everyone. We might need to include some information about WSL or online environments like repl.it as an alternative.

Katacoda might be good for that

zacanger commented 4 years ago

Okay how about the first link as optional reading, and this Katacoda?

aeshthetic commented 4 years ago

I don't see the value of this katacoda to be honest. It demonstrates one command and then leaves you with a cheatsheet. I'll look for alternatives.

aeshthetic commented 4 years ago

Oh, was your intention to provide Katacoda as a space for experimenting with a shell online? I think this might be preferable: https://www.katacoda.com/courses/ubuntu/playground

zacanger commented 4 years ago

Oh sorry, I looked at the overview of that course and thought it would be more complete.

zacanger commented 4 years ago

I just came across this which looks pretty neat, it's a gamified thing: https://web.mit.edu/mprat/Public/web/Terminus/Web/main.html

aeshthetic commented 4 years ago

This is cool. I wish the font was bigger. It seems like it doesn't really cover much more than a few basic commands? Or maybe you need to get further through the game to find out about more of them.

Looks like there's an updated version here. It is mostly cd and ls, there's a playthrough here.
