Hello. My name is Jason Cannon and I'm the author of Linux for Beginners as well as the founder of the Linux Training Academy. When I ask people to tell me what they most want to learn about the Linux operating system, they all say the same thing: the command line.
That's why I've created this course. It's designed for people who want to develop command-line skills on the Linux operating system and need to do it in a short period of time. By the end of the course, you will be able to easily navigate your way around a Linux system and feel confident at the command line.
As an added bonus for enrolling in the Linux Command Line Essentials video training course, you'll receive a cheat sheet and reference card that lists the most important Linux commands you'll need to know. It's a great way to quickly review what you've learned in this course AND you'll be able to easily find the command and options you're looking for too.
