Linux basic commands and Shell scripting for Software testers is basically a course that should be enough to get you started on:

1. Adding value by automating some of your daily tasks.

2. Appreciate the usefulness of the command line, and how it could make you more productive, instead of getting intimidated.

3. Having a hands on approach, rather than getting lost in a world full of free resources and theory and giving up.

All this, in about an hour's time.

Nudging you into the world of automation with scripting ASAP is my primary goal.  I have been in the Software Testing field for about 14 years now. During these years I have been with MNCs like Satyam, IBM GBS etc. in various roles such as Sr. Tester, Test Lead etc. and have a passion for mentoring Testers and wannabe Testers. I am a strong supporter of Automation, and have a couple of ongoing projects on Github.  I author a Software testing blog, a YouTube channel, and also answer questions about Software testing on Quora.  My twitter handle is @ezeetester
