WOWZER! What a ride! I just finished the crash course on using the Mac Terminal. If you are a LINUX Guru then this should be a breeze for you. I never have much played around with the terminal but after my mind blowing ride through the course on MAC Terminals called, “Learn Code the Hard Way“, I am endowed with a new sense of confidence, a slightly higher IQ, and insomnia….but hey it brings me closer to the end-game.

I could go through everything that I learned but it would take hours for me to do so. I highly recommend going into the online book, “Learn Code the Hard Way“, and just hammer through it like I did.

Tips For Coming Out Alive

• Follow the instructions to the “T”
• Pay Attention to the Details
• If he says do something…do it…no matter what you know or how silly it may sound
• if he says not to do something….DON’T DO IT….that simple
• Stay encouraged…there is light at the end of the tunnel
• Take breaks when you find yourself making a lot of typos
• Spread it out over several days so you really absorb the material…I did the rushed version of studying and you too may be a quick study, but I will be going back from time to time
• After you have completed all of the excercises….take a break and do them all again.
• When you are finished download the cheat sheet for quick referneces
• Finally pray for wisdom! Although that should always be a first on your list.
