In this course you playthe hacker in a 90s movie

Every movie hacker types fast into a black window. In this course you do exactly that, on purpose, and after each scene you find out what the commands actually did. By the end you can move around any computer from its terminal, which is where most developer tools live.

You need: a computer with macOS, Linux or Windows (with WSL or Git Bash). Nothing to install.
