What you'll learn

This course provides a practical and application-oriented introduction to the operating system, shell scripting, and foundational system programming concepts. Students will learn to work efficiently in a Linux environment through hands-on exercises involving file systems, permissions, user and group management, process handling, and automation using shell scripts. The course further introduces essential system calls, multithreading basics, and interprocess communication, enabling learners to understand how modern operating systems manage processes and resources. The training concludes with version control fundamentals using Git and GitHub, preparing students for collaborative development and industry workflows. By the end of the course, students gain the ability to confidently navigate Linux, automate tasks, write functional scripts, interact with low-level OS features, and use Git for real-world software development. Learning Outcome 1. Demonstrate proficiency in using Linux commands, managing files, directories, users, and groups, and navigating the Linux environment effectively. 2. Develop shell scripts using variables, conditions, loops, functions, and file operations to automate routine tasks and system workflows. 3. Apply foundational system programming concepts by using system calls, managing processes, working with threads, and implementing basic synchronization and IPC mechanisms. 4. Use Git and GitHub for version control, including repository creation, committing changes, branching, merging, and collaborating using remote workflows.
