Long time , no see.

I got laid off and it kinda threw my plans off and I took some time to think about next steps. I still don't it well planned out. I am going to use most of the time to study more and go through courses and look for work.

I also have been accepted in the Bertelsmann Tech Udacity Scholarship Challenge Course for the Cloud Track and I am learning so much already.

Today was my first day unemployed and I spent a lot time learning the shell and a few lessons on Version Control.

Some of the commands were not too new to me. But, here are some interesting ones that I learned:

Echo

This command is just like the console.log in JavaScript and will return whatever you wrote after the command.

!!

The double “!!” will return the last command you wrote and the result of that command. If you want to avoid this, just wrap the text in single quotes.

Viewing Files

You can use cat or less.

cat: reads the file and outputs the content. It will display everything.

less: it shows less of the file or gives you a 1 page view.
You can use “space” or the arrow key to move through the file
You can use “b” to go back
You can also use the “/” to search the file for a specific item
You can use “q” to quit

As usual, these are some of the things that were new or interesting to me.

The streak continues...
