Would You Be Interested In A Shell Scripting Course?
I have been writing shell scripts for over a decade now, and I have learned a lot. Would you be interested in a Udemy course on learning shell scripting from the very basics to some advanced features?
Please let me know directly or in the comments if you'd be interested.
I would make detailed (and fun) videos with real-life examples. At the end of the course, you would have some useful scripts and be able to make your own.
