Advanced Programming the UNIX Environment
Our reference platform for this class is NetBSD. Some ways to get set up are:
Use an AWS image:

Advanced Programming the UNIX Environment
Week 1: UNIX Basics
In this lecture, we provide a whirlwind tour of the Unix programming environment. In the process, we write a simple shell, a simple version of the ls(1) command, and two versions of the cat(1) command while learning about the Unix Philosophy.

Week 1: UNIX History
We cover the early days at Bell Labs, USL vs BSDi, the birth of the BSDs and Linux, and how we got from Ken Thompson playing "Space Travel" on a PDP-7 to Unix running on your phone, fridge, and TV.

Week 1: Introduction
This video covers a lot of the meta information (what do we do, why are we doing it, how are we doing it, syllabus, etc.). Some things have changed since I created the video (for example, we now have an AI policy: https://stevens.netmeister.org/631/use-of-ai.html), but most of it remains accurate.
It's that time of year again! The Fall semester is about to start, and I'm teaching "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment". The syllabus and all course materials including all code examples is available here:

All video lectures are public and available for free on YouTube:

If you want to follow along, I'll be posting lecture videos and related links in this thread throughout the semester.
