The Joy of Command Line Thurs. Sept. 4th 6:30-8pm @ Free Geek (back door)
The command line is an interface, or way of interacting with a
computer, which is text-only (as opposed to a graphical user interface,
or GUI).
When using the command line, you type commands at a prompt (a.k.a. cursor).
This free workshop is a good idea for beginners interested in
learning programming, computer building, or for those who like idea of
learning some basic finesse with their digital friend.
This class is intended for beginners with a little previous exposure to command line,
