I learned a lot, This wasn't my favorite course. Not the fault of the Instructor. I'm just not ready for everything he's trying to teach w/o taking it apart a little more and going a little slower.
I'll keep this course in my library and refer back to it as I learn more and become more proficient at Bash.

The content is good but the teacher really needs to slow down. I keep having to pause to catch up withwhat he is doing
1. He starts running commands without any background explanation as to what they are and what they stand for.
2. At the start he is referring to files he has in his desktop but he doesnt show us the files so we have to guess this in order to replicate
Not really happy. Needs to move at about half the pace for a beginner course :(

Very helpful examples! Clear explanation and practical focus. The only thing I can think of is, it would be great if we can download the examples as script/pdf.

Great course for be practical in bash script. Minimal theory (the 4 star is for this) but great example to follow and do.

He does a really great job! The only thing that I'd wish he'd do is explain things in steps rather than doing the whole thing and then going back and explaining it. Overall, I'm learning a lot, and I'd take more courses by him.

Class is well put-together and concise enough without missing any points. The format encourages you to follow along as he demonstrates and writes scripts. Most importantly, he clearly explains what every bit of the code does, which is great because it would otherwise be really intimidating. As a scripting novice, this is great. Challenging (though short) quizzes are sprinkled in throughout which build on the topics shown instead of just being straight regurgitation.
Familiarity with getting around the linux terminal is recommended, but not necessarily required.
Andrei also added nice bash script challenges once you complete the videos to encourage students to internalize the material and learn additional info.
Great material. Thanks Andrei.

The course is very clear, touches on key, essential points needed to learn bash scripting. Introduction to the subject matter is done gradually and the whole course is easy to follow.
Presenter is clear, active and quick to respond to any questions.

I bought a few classes but have been strapped for time so I haven't started them yet because I was worried I'd go through them quickly and not learn anything. Yes, this is the first course I'm really going through but Andrei Bunghez is an awesome teacher. He is a natural. He explains things in a way that makes them stick. I was able to even remember the function format the next day after watching the video only once. That is what I was hoping to get from Udemy. This setup is great. Mr Bunghez has a split screen setup and the text he types is very easy to see, even on my little laptop screen when I take the course on it. I didnt know if I should rate 5 stars right away considering this is the first course I'm taking but since I can't find anything wrong with the course or instructor, why not? Two thumbs up. The price was OK although I wish I got it at the $10 sale price, and the content is great with a top notch instructor. You can't go wrong. Mr Bunghez keeps me interested and often I'm surprised the videos have ended. He has a great teaching style.
I've been hacking apart others' bash scripts for years so its about time I learned to write them on my own, properly. Thank you Udemy and thank you Mr Bunghez.

Mr. Bunghez does a great job of introducing the basics of bash. Students probably should be familiar with the basic linux command line. Concepts are clearly explained. Pace is good.
hope Andrei will consider doing additional courses.

I found this course to be very insightful so far. It covers the basics very well and although I am not an absolute rookie in bash-scripting I still learned a lot of new things.

It is very useful if you want to learn about to create scripts to run on your Linux machine and to schedule scripts using crontab.

Initially I thought it was a bash-use course. I had a pleasant surprise to see that is Bash scripting course.
