Here are the slides of the “Introduction to Unix-like systems” lecture I gave last Saturday at the “Programming for Evolutionary Biology” workshop in Leipzig.
In these slides, I did my best to communicate to the students what is philosophy behind the Unix systems and why they have been so important in the past. The Unix philosophy is in reality an approach to data analysis and programming: I am happy if I have been able to convince the students that, by studying how the first programmers have approached the problem of data analysis, they will be able to learn good programming practices, and avoid mistakes that have already been surpassed many years ago.
I would like to thank my colleague Brandon Invergo and my supervisor Hafid Laayouni for suggestions on how to improve the slides. Enjoy!
