Re: [PLUG] Philly *nix rwe Club

Thank you for the generous offer! I'd be grateful to have you come do an overview talk, especially because we won't have much of an itinerary until we have a group discussion about what we'll cover over the next few months. I'm going to ask my employer, CIS, if I can use either their center city or Media office. Even their center city has plenty of street parking in front of the building after 6 pm (I know what a deterrent city parking can be to people coming from the suburbs). So that's the tentative plan ... I should know by the end of the week.

Chris,

Where are you going to meet? I'd be glad to come to a meeting and
jumpstart you with an overview of Unix/Linux commands that I teach
lots of my clients. See some of the topics I'd cover at:
http://bristle.com/Tips/Unix.htm

Also, let your members know they should feel free to subscribe to
my Unix Tips mailing list (where the tips archived above were mailed
as I wrote them), or any of my other lists at:

Hi all,

I'm starting a meetup for people who are interested in learning fundamental use of Unix-like OS's from the command line. This meetup is geared towards beginners who may have had a superficial exposure to Linux, OSX or another Unix-like OS but never had the chance or self-determination to go into the details of the file system structure and how /bin commands work and work together. This is something I've wanted to get into for a while and I feel a lot of people could benefit from (especially developers who use LAMP but mostly focus on MP). For starters, I was thinking of going through a book like The Unix Programming Environment (which I'm sure of most you are familiar with) and discussing at the meetings the examples and exercises and how they work and then everyone writing some scripts between meetups using what we've covered to get some experience piping commands to each other, doing some administrative work, etc. This is probably too basic for a lot of PLUGers but I thought I'd throw it out there in case some people on the mailing list feel they could benefit.

Thanks,
