On Monday I gave a talk to WYLUG (the West Yorkshire Linux User Group) about using shells (i.e., ‘the command line’) under Linux. It was meant to be an overview, rather than a tutorial, and I think it went fairly well, given that I'd only finished writing the slides half an hour before I turned up.
This was the second in a series of talks my company (GBdirect) is helping to organise with WYLUG, intended to get new blood (‘newbies’) into the group. Surprisingly, it seems to be working. Last month was the first time in ages that we've had a reasonable number of people turn up who hadn't been coming for years.
My slides are available in HTML and PDF on the WYLUG site.
This was the first talk I've given to WYLUG, and I think I'm the last of GBdirect's current staff to do that. I'm thinking about doing another one, possibly something on DNS, now that I've read most of the Albitz and Liu book. I think that makes me an expert, comparatively speaking.
