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,

Prerequisite - You must have one of the following:

1. You should have attended one "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Command Line" workshop 
2. OR, you already know how how to enter commands, and navigate the file system from the command line in Linux.

Other things to remember:

• You need a basic familiarity with using computers (nothing fancy)
• You can either be new to free and open source, or experienced with it
• If you have a laptop (running a free operating system), please bring it so we can accommodate more people in our computer lab. Let us know when you register that you can bring your own computer.

Impress your friends with your newfound movie-hacker-looking skills!
