CS631 – Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment

The course is quite opinionated, in a good way: It is essential to be able to efficiently use a text editor, and doing all your writing / coding / text processing in one of the common editors available on all Unix systems is good practice. vi(1)/vim(1) and emacs(1) are popular choices. My college instructor encouraged the use of emacs in particular. I eventually migrated to vim but appreciated the instructor’s core message that text editor + CLI feels less magical…

Thanks for sharing this class. The best references to learn Unix (and TCP/IP and networking) are still William Rich Stevens books. Other courses/sources that I found very useful: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs114/2003fa/ http://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs214/2004sp/ http://boris.lk.net/unix/ https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/1011/UnixTools/notes.pdf https://dasher.wustl.edu/chem430/readings/unix-tutorial.pdf

Big fan of the book referenced by this course, as well as Stevens' TCP/IP books. Him and Doug Comer were the explainers of TCP/IP to a whole generation of network programmers.
