- Course objectives
- At the end of this course, the students understand the principles of Unix and they will be able to work with this operating system. They will gain understanding of the use of shell and classical Unix tools, basic concepts and components of a Unix system and their organisation. They will be able to write simpler scripts solving real-world tasks.

- Teaching methods
- lectures, practical demonstration and exercise on a computer
- Assessment methods
- Presence on lectures is not required. To grain credits the student has to solve themselves two moderately difficult problems using shell scripts, create a valid web page describing this solution and defend it verbally. The defence, which occurs on a computer, consists of explanation of the scripts and realisation of simple corrections or modifications in them. The problems are chosen by students during the semester from a given set, each student solves different problems.
