COP 4225 - Advanced Unix Programming

This course gives a Unix overview of files and directories. Shell programming is an integral part of the Unix experience, so Unix tools such as sed and grep are covered. This course also covers the Unix internals such as the file systems and process structure and deals with using the system call interface and inter-process communication.

"This is a very practical course. Besides learning how to work in a Unix/Linux environment, I learned to write and run shell scripts to manipulate data files, which I now use every time I need to reformat large amounts of data. Logging into a Unix/Linux server is not as intimidating as it was before I took this course." - Mayelin - CS Graduate
