On POSIX Unix systems, the vi(1) text editor and sh(1) shell are required by the POSIX (opengroup.org) standard and might be the only development tools at your disposal. While some developers may consider these tools equivalent to a doughnut spare tire that should not be used over 50MPH, others embrace them and have used them for decades. Some would also argue that you should learn the rules before you break them in order to appreciate higher-level languages.</p> <p>This talk will be a crash course in vi(1) and sh(1) with examples from a 2500 line virtualization management project that uses a number of scripting techniques.</p> <p>Michael provides independent Unix support and organizes PLUG.</p> <p>Many will head to the Lucky Lab NW after the meeting.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://pdxlinux.org">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
