Part 1 of 5: Overview, Tools, and Users
This lesson discusses Linux's basic features and the tools that users need to get familiarized with prior to working with it from a developer's standpoint.
Part 2 of 5: System Functions, Scripts, and Partitions
This lesson deals with Linux's system functions which include Memory Management, Task Management, Interprocess Communication, Device Management, I/O management, and the like.
The discussion also includes a segment on Kernel. This details what a Kernel is in the context of development through the OS.
This lesson details what scripts are in Linux as well. It informs learners that the command script is a file containing a set of normal Linux commands to be performed by the command shell in a certain order.
The lesson also talks about Partitions and Partition Schemes that are available through Linux.
Part 3 of 5: Input/Output and Variables
This lesson delves into the standard Input and Output for Linux otherwise known as, Linux Standard Streams. Here the learners are to learn the terms and the names given to these functions namely, "stdin" for Standard Input and "stdout" for Standard Output.
Part 4 of 5: Files and Security
This lesson discusses what is being referred to as a "file" in the Linux system. The discussion makes it clear that everything within the system is called a "file" and that if it is not considered as such, then it is a "process". The lesson informs its learners that a file does not only include text files, programs, and images but partitions, hardware device drivers, and directories as well.
This lesson also details the security that the Linux system sets in place.
Part 5 of 5: VIM and Permissions
This lesson discusses what the VIM command is in the Linux system. The discussion informs learners that VIM actually stands for "Vi Improved", which is a text editor that is used for editing all types of text and is suited best for editing computer programs.
This lesson also details what File Permissions are. This tackles how Linux uses these permissions being a multi-user system.
