shell. This powerful text based interface can be leveraged to automate
tasks and solve problems that would be too tedious to tackle. The Born
Again Shell is available on all Unix and Linux platforms. A clear
understanding of the features of the shell along with a basic set of
commands can improve your productivity and change the way you implement
solutions to text based problems. <br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3126"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3112"><br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3113"></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3124">
<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3114">Eric will provide an overview of how his Unix/Linux classroom
has evolved over 26 years. From the blackboard handwritten lecture in a
room without computers to modern classroom with a computer on every
desk. Through it all, the common set of command line capabilities has
remained a staple in the Unix/Linux mindset. sed, grep, cut, tr, and
awk are tools that can be combined to transform the simplest of users
into a “Power User”. <br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3172"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3114"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3173"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3114">BIO:</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3177"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3114"></span><br><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3114"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3193">Eric Danielson was first exposed to FORTRAN as part of a Saturday
high school program at JPL. Before that, he hadn’t been exposed to
computers except for watching his father open up a briefcase sized modem
to transfer files using the house phone handset. The Saturday class
would walk onto the JPL campus and sit at someone’s desk to log into a
VAX terminal to edit, compile and run FORTRAN77 code. <br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3194"> <br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3195">Eric
has since earned a B.S. in General Engineering from Harvey Mudd College
and a M.S. in Computer Science from USC. Eric started working at JPL as
a summer student. At that time, he was running radiative transfer code
(FORTRAN) and supporting a science team. After the brand new Sun
Microsystem workstations were installed in the Science Division computer
lab, Eric took some evening classes at Glendale College that included C
Programing and Unix Shell Programming. Soon after, a co-worker and
mentor at JPL encouraged Eric to take over his teaching workload at
Glendale College. An increase in his JPL travel schedule was making it
difficult to continue teaching. Eric started teaching BASIC Programming
and FORTRAN in 1989. He eventually took over the Unix class and has
since added the Unix/Linux System Administration class to the Glendale
College curriculum. <br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3196"> <br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3197">Eric is currently the Science Data System
(SDS) System Engineer for the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer
(MISR) instrument on the Terra Earth Observing System satellite and the
Multi-Angle Imager for Aerosols (MAIA) instrument currently in
development. <br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3198"> <br id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1513149324614_3199">Eric enjoys tinkering with Raspberry Pis and
Arduinos in the creative realm of “Makers”. His recent projects include
a portable air quality monitor and a time-lapse camera with a Raspberry
Pi. </span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
