Homework

Over the summer break I advise you to do the following.

1. practice what we have learned so far
2. document your findings, questions, problems

In order to help you a bit I made a markdown template you can use to go over all the topics we touched on and I left some space for you to make your own notes. You can find this file here. We did not dive too deep into git but if possible I highly recommend to push your notes to the gitea. This way you can share your findings with your fellow students and I can keep an eye on your progress.

Books

• The Linux command line is one of the best resources to get good at bash
  1. the main book can be downloaded in pdf here
  2. a second book can be downloaded here
• The Debian system administrator handbook is a super reference for all things Debian
• Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook is not free but a very complete handbook with a more general overview

Online challenges

• regex crossword puzzles can be a fun way to get better at regexes
• the cmdchallenge is a fun way to get better at pipes and basic commands
• you could continue bandit for general practice
  • level 27-28 switches the game up and is all about git, you'll need to do some deep diving and I recommend the main documentation as a starting point

Extra info

• you could try and set up vim with some plugins to make it a proper IDE; my setup can be found here
