I guess the main purpose of this course is to teach uninitiated kids a thing or two about the *nix CLI, but for some reason the instructor has decided to call it the &amp;quot;Linux CLI&amp;quot;.  He also teaches some terrible shell scripting practices [2] such as parsing the output of ls [3] and not quoting variables.&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=hTHAe-m56Vw&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=hTHAe-m56Vw&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[2] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=rOxJW7PtA5s&amp;amp;t=169s&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;watch?v=rOxJW7PtA5s&amp;amp;t=169s&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[3] &lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;mywiki.wooledge.org&amp;#x2F;ParsingLs&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow noreferrer&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;mywiki.wooledge.org&amp;#x2F;ParsingLs&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>

I took the non-major equivalent of this course; it was an introduction to C, Bash, Linux, and assembly. It was quite helpful back then, although the web helped me expand on what I know as with most computer science topics.&lt;p&gt;I wish I could’ve taken the major version but, alas, I wasn’t offered a spot in UW’s CSE program despite all my passion and effort. I will refrain from turning this comment into a lament of the university’s capacity constrained major system.</text></comment>
