Hi, and welcome to Diving Linux.
I’m Nicolas, author of the course.
And I would like to start this video with a quick question for you.
Look at this terminal.
Does this make you feel joy ?
A few years back I would have said that it made me feel lost, confused or even afraid.
As a developer, it’s hard to avoid using Linux in a Terminal,
It runs almost every single server and device on the planet.
You might dodge it for some time, but you will have to use it at some point in your career.
I don’t mean learning to run `npm install`, or whatever tool you already use to code.
What I want to teach you is a deep understanding of how the system behind the terminal works,
And how to use that to your advantage.
This course was designed with everything I learned while teaching Linux to dozens of students.
It will give you all the fundamentals that you need to work with any Linux based system.
Now, Diving Linux is not a classical course,
It is fully interactive, with hundreds of tasks that you will solve on a real Linux server.
Let me show you what it looks like..
When you get to the course, you will have an overview of all the accessible lessons
Here you can see that I already finished 6 of the first chapter lessons
Let's continue with the 7th
As you can see, I already completed a few tasks
And every time I realize a task, I have my answer, if I want to get back to it
We can see that I already have a server launched
I can copy the command to access my server
This will all be explained in the course
If I press enter, I can access the server with my password
Now, everything is connected
If I want to realize the following task
All I have to do I write the right command in my terminal on the left
It's really easy to follow, and you will have instant gratification if you realize the task
Or an error message that will explain to you how to find the right answer
I have a really short attention span, and I don’t like to watch long videos, or learning with too much theory.
So you can be sure that I made every single lesson interactive, and fun to follow
While still giving you real world knowledge to apply in your day to day job.
I hope you will like the course, Thank you for watching.
