Synopsis:
Sometimes only words will do. Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) were a great advance, creating an easy route into computer use for many non-technical users. For complex tasks, though, the interface can become a limitation: blocking off choices, and leaving a circuitous route even for only moderately complicated jobs.
(Re-)Enter the command line: the blinking cursor that many thought had faded away in the 1990s. For getting instructions from user to computer - in a clear, quick, and unambiguous form - the command line is often the best way. It never disappeared on UNIX systems, and now, thanks to Raspberry Pi OS on the Raspberry Pi, a new generation is discovering the power of the command line to simplify complex tasks, or instantly carry out simple ones.
Master essential skills:
- Read and write text files
- Find & install software
- Manage removable storage
- Use Secure Shell for remote access
- Create Raspberry Pi SD cards
- Going online in the command line
- and much, much more.
If you're not comfortable when faced with the $ prompt, then don't panic! In this fully updated book, we'll quickly make you feel at home, and able to find your way around the terminal on the Pi, or any other GNU/Linux computer: getting things done, and unlocking the power of the command line.
Updated for the latest Raspberry Pi devices and hardware, this book has everything you need to get started.
About the Author: Since soldering together his first computer - a ZX81 kit - and gaining an amateur radio licence as GW6PCB, Richard has fallen in and out of love with technology. Swapping the ZX81 for a guitar, and dropping ham radio for organic horticulture, he eventually returned to the command line, beginning with a computer to run his own business, and progressing to running all the computers of an international sustainability institution. Now he writes about Free Software and teaches edible landscaping.
