The Unix Workbench

Things are useful It's a very useful course, and helped me to code some simple bash programs, without which my current project would be very laborious.

It introduces popular code sharing and merging tool GitHub, which most programmers would find very useful in software development.

Very useful course.

Very useful Good intro, I recommended see documentation for each command using in bash: $ man [command_name] for better understanding and to see the arguments you can pass in.

Very useful, practical, motivational and inspiring course.

Very useful content and clear explanations!

Very useful course, I am using lots of remote high performance computers.

Excellent introduction to the command line and github.

Great as it goes past superificial introductions and teaches programming and manipulation of the command line.

Its a fairly good course for introduction to the command line.

This course serves as a perfect introduction to understand the capabilities of command line.

This is a a gentle introduction to the Unix command line environment covering the fundamental skills upon learners can build.

For anyone considering taking the Genomic Data Science Specialization courses and not familiar with the Unix command line environment, "The Unix Workbench" is a good foundation.

While correct in its content the presentation was dry, in my opinion, if the target audience is novices or those with very limited exposure to the Unix command line.

I am not a command line novice so maybe my critique is not shared by those in the target audience.

I've never experienced this on Coursera before, the 4 videos that do exist aren't useful in any way.-The is some introductory, and unnecessary, introduction to both cloud computing and ssh / scp commands.

That being said i felt that the last part regarding cloud computing was a bit rushed (from learning to sue a API to suddenly being asked to create a bot)Overall i recommend the course to any colleague Very good!

The inclusion of version control (git and repositories - both local and remote) plus cloud computing as remote development and deployment environments shows practical real world usage of command line skills.I deducted one star solely based on the written narrative.

Very good course, especially for beginners to get relevant and broad overview of tools (bash/git/cloud).

Other than that, this is a great course for beginners that offers many suggestions for further learning.

This course good for beginners...and helpful for learning git, linux bash shell and git.Thanks Really a Great course for learning unix .

Overall, the course was well structured and easy to understand.

This course is well structured, useful in learning experience, work enverionment experience, and personally who ever start this course are going to really enjoy script programming.

This is a good course, barely adapted from Sean Kross' UNIX workbench book.

Thank you to Sean Kross and the team that developed this course!
