Twin Cities Code Camp

Many software engineers consider "shell scripting" to be a dark art best left to system administrators. In the distributed computing world basic shell-scripting knowledge can save you hours of time, per week. In this session we will cover the basics of shell scripting by diving right into working solutions, like processing logs using shell in a Hadoop cluster, and monitoring for race conditions, gathering the required artifacts once the condition is hit. In addition to learn shell scripting specific structures such as assigning the output of a command to a variable and chaining basic utilities together to accomplish a complex task. Finally, every attendee will receive free shell access to a sandbox I run for users to learn shell!
