Linux and Bash for Data Engineering

Overview

Class Central Tips

In this second course of the Python, Bash and SQL Essentials for Data Engineering Specialization, you will learn the fundamentals of Linux necessary to perform data engineering tasks. Additionally, you will explore how to use both Bash and zsh configurations, and develop the syntax needed to interact and control Linux. These skills will allow you to manage and manipulate databases in a Bash environment.

Syllabus

Using Linux

This week you will learn to use Linux to solve technical problems common in software engineering, data engineering and machine learning. You will explore the key parts of the Linux shell, and learn how to implement your knowledge in common scenarios.

Using Bash

This week, you will learn to configure Bash Scripts to enhance and control your Linux development environment and production systems. You will also learn about Shell variables, and how to effectively use Standard In and Standard Out.

Building Bash Scripts

This week, you will learn to build Bash Scripts to solve common problems in Data Engineering. You will also learn about Shell logic, dealing with data in the shell, and how to build command-line tools in Bash. You will then apply this knowledge to create command-line tools in Bash.

Composing File and Data Solutions

This week, you will learn to use Linux to compose file and data management solutions. You will also learn to search the filesystem, modify files, directories and control permissions. You will then process text in Bash and apply this knowledge to create a search solution in Bash.
