CSC 295-01 - Special Topic: Roots of Professional Practice: A Philosophy of Unix

4 credits (Spring)

Practicing programmers must master languages, algorithms, and software design methodologies. However, the most successful practitioners incorporate a systematic approach to development and draw upon a wide variety of tools to support that practice. In this course, we explore “The Unix Philosophy” - a long-standing, successful approach to building software. Along the way, we explore a variety of tools, including task automation tools, revision control systems, shell scripting, and the basic Unix commands.
