LPTHW – Command Line Crash Course, Lesson 0, 1
Well, that was easier than I expected… First of all, I should mention that I completed the first 50 chapters of this book about a year ago. I haven’t worked with Python much since then, so I decided to review the material before moving on to something new. After doing the first few chapters though, it looks like I may not need to review all of this again in detail (especially the exercises). For now, I will plan to review each chapter, but “skim” if the materials seem too familiar. After all, I’m sure that there is some stuff I have forgotten – or have forgotten that I have forgotten.
Just a few notes for these first three chapters:
- I have decided to focus on using keyboard shortcuts whenever possible. I have already figured out most of the frequently used ones for Notepad++ and Windows generally, but I will continue to learn them from Google as necessary.
- I remember learning the pushd and popd PowerShell commands the first time around, but never actually using them. Looks like they could be pretty useful in certain situations. I will try to use them, at least occasionally, going forward.
- I don’t think I ever really learned how to use the mv command the last time around, I just used it to rename stuff. Maybe this review will turn out to be useful, as I seem to be picking up details I missed before.
Well that’s it for the first three chapters. I think the next few should move really quickly (mostly printing) so I plan to review a bunch of them in the next post.
