[pdusers] New Maklab Workshop

[Delphine Dallison]

Hi everyone,
Just a quick message to let you all know about a workshop taking place at Maklab that might be of interest to members of the Electron Club:
Using the Terminal in OSX, Linux and more: 
Whether you work on Mac OSX, Linux desktop, do server-side web development or use a *nix based system for embedded development on hardware like the Raspberry Pi or Arduino, you can benefit from a knowledge of the command line tools that these systems share. While graphical user interfaces are designed to make things easy for you, they often leave out some of the power and speed that you can get by going straight to the terminal window. This 2 hour hands-on workshop will give you confidence to face the blinking cursor on a blank black screen. You'll learn how to navigate in your machine, how to get help on any topic right from the command line, and how to leverage the power of your terminal to combine small programs to solve bigger problems all in a single line. It sounds scary. We make it a breeze.It will be useful but not essential to bring with you a laptop for this workshop.About the instructors:Paul Mason is a former secondary school teacher who now works as an assessment specialist with SQA. He was one of the top 10 competitors in this year's UK Cyber Security Challenge.Lisha Sterling is a professional software developer with 20 years experience including time at Amazon.co.uk, Cisco Systems, and fring. She has taught workshops like this one at hacker and makerspaces in the western US since 2011.

This workshop will be taking place on Tuesday the 24th of September 6pm - 8pm. Cost: £10/£7 for MAKlab members. You can book online at: www.maklab.bigcartel.com.
