In this section of the course,
we're going to cover a single exam objective that's focused
on the concepts surrounding the Bash shell
and its scripting language.
This objective is covered in domain three,
scripting, containers, and automation,
and we're going to be focused on objective 3.1.
This states, given a scenario,
you must create simple shell scripts
to automate common tasks.
This section of the course is all
about discovering the true power of Linux by allowing you
to write your own scripts to automate functions
across the entire operating system.
First, we're going to learn about the Bash shell
and some basic scripting commands.
Then we'll create our own bash script using simple commands
and logical control statements.
As always, we're going to continue to alternate
between theory lessons and hands-on demonstrations
throughout each of these concepts in this section.
And we'll do all of that inside our real time CentOS system.
So, let's get started talking all about scripting
in this section of the course.
