ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP:
This hands-on Korn Shell scripting course provides a comprehensive introduction to writing Korn Shell scripts. Besides covering fundamental syntax for program flow control, variable assignment and substitution, I/O control, and mathematical expressions, it emphasizes the powerful features of these shells, including built-in string operators, variable typesetting and conversion, functions, communication and control. The creative use of standard UNIX and Linux utilities within scripts to solve problems is stressed throughout. The course is designed for the administrators and programmers who are developing, testing, or integrating software on UNIX or Linux, as well as for advanced UNIX or Linux users. The students will have the opportunity to learn from examples coded in shell. Comprehensive hands on exercises are integrated throughout to reinforce learning and develop real competency.

ABOUT KORN SHELL SCRIPTING
Various UNIX operating systems need a way to communicate with the kernel. This is done is through the use of a shell. There are a few different shells that you can use, but this article focuses on the Korn shell.

In this workshop, you will be taught how to begin writing your first Korn shell script, and how to effectively use the vi editor and add the shell name as the first line. You will learn how to build some type of script header telling users who wrote the script, what the script does, and use UNIX binaries to perform various tasks.

In a nut-shell, korn shell scripting can save you a lot of time and make your job so much easier. You will learn following best practices to follow standard steps like building your script header, define your variables, and error check your work.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN IN THIS SHELL SCRIPTING TRAINING COURSE?
In this Unix training course by TLC, you will be introduced to the Unix Operating System, its various features, Unix commands, file systems and file handling, basic and advanced levels of Unix and Shell scripting techniques. You will get to know about the control flow, commands execution and the Unix Server ecosystem. This UNIX and shell programming course encompasses basic to advance level of Unix & Shell Scripting. The training is user friendly and will emphasize on real-time programs aligned to industry demands.

This course contains both simple and more complex hands-on programming labs to deepen the students understanding of presented concepts and facilities and to gain experience in writing simple shell scripts helping them to design, testing, and debugging their day to day simple tasks.
