This comprehensive beginner-level course is designed to equip learners with the foundational knowledge and practical skills required to operate confidently within a Unix environment. Through a structured, hands-on approach, learners will explore the core principles of Unix, including its architecture, shell interaction, and command-line interface. The course progresses into deeper system navigation techniques, file management, and directory manipulation. Divided into two progressive modules, the course first introduces the Unix operating system's structure and essential commands. Learners will explain the roles of the shell and kernel, demonstrate key session commands, and execute directory navigation tasks. The second module deepens the learner’s understanding by focusing on file creation, stream redirection, path resolution, and directory control, enabling them to manipulate, apply, and distinguish between file system tools with confidence. This course is ideal for aspiring developers, system administrators, or IT professionals aiming to build a strong command-line foundation and apply Unix concepts in real-world scenarios.
