- Synopsis:
-
Students become advanced and knowledgeable users of common operating systems: UNIX-like and MS Windows. They understand the fundamental principles of the operating systems (file systems, processes and threads, access rights, memory management, network interfaces). They gain the knowledge of advanced users, with hands-on experience of the shell, basic commands, and filters to process various text data.
- Requirements:
-
Elementary GUI interaction. The ability to learn new ways of thinking.
- Syllabus of lectures:
-
1. Introduction. Fundamental concepts. History and architecture of OS Unix.
2. Command line-shell, command and arguments processing, variables.
