Unix for Mac OS X Users

- [Voiceover] Welcome to Unix for Mac OS X users. My name is Kevin Skoglund, and as a web developer, I probably spend as much time working in Unix as I do writing code. In this course, we're going to learn to use the powerful Unix operating system that's built-in to Mac OS X. I will walk you through the fundamental concepts used in Unix, we will discover the Unix file system. And learn to create, find, copy, and delete files and directories all from the command line. We will see how user accounts function in a multi-user environment. And learn how to manage file ownership in user permissions. I will also cover dozens of useful Unix commands.

Everything from simple calculators to tools that monitor and manage every process running on your computer. And I'll introduce you to some Power User techniques that will allow you to find, alter, or capture almost any text or system information. Now, most of what we cover will be useful in any Unix environment. Whether it's Mac, Lenox, or something else. But in the final chapter, I'll demonstrate many useful Mac only commands and techniques that can speed up your work flow and give you more power and control over your Mac. It doesn't matter if you're a complete beginner or have some prior experience, we're going to cover all the fundamentals you need to become comfortable working from the Unix command line.

So let's get started learning Unix.
