It would be great if Treehouse came out with some Linux Terminal tutorials along with Bash Scripting Tutorials that could then go hand in hand with Python. There is a large community out there that are in the Linux community. I would love a tutorial series on these subjects and incorporating these languages to work together.
It seems like every tutorial on the web always goes through fundamentals of each language when it comes to syntax and so forth but never really exploring other libraries that deal with the actual system on your computer. I find that one of the largest humps to get over. Understanding how certain libraries work to make specific applications or widgets. Like something as simple as getting your CPU temperature or listening to specific windows that you have open so that when a certain event happens, it can then respond with its own action or feature that goes along with that event. I hope you understand what I'm saying.
If this doesn't gain any traction, does anyone know of any particular books that might go over these things (specifically in Linux) that is particularly good?
Thanks!

19,870 PointsCompletely with you on your desired info. Have you looked at the Console Foundations course? It has some good into stuff.
I'd be interested if someone else posts some good learning material.
Other than that, I've just done some searching on Bash scripting and have found some good stuff that way. Mostly update simple .bashrc kind of stuff, like color prompts and updating path defaults - but there's many rabbit holes to explore.

12,048 PointsI had not seen that, thanks. It would be great if they built upon that. Unfortunately that's all great for a beginning user but I'm a bit past that.
Yes, there are many rabbit holes to explore. I'm currently using Arch Linux with i3wm and have customized it pretty well. But a lot of that customization comes from using other people's scripts. I would love to learn how to create my own. I can create some basic ones but when it comes to complex scripts that like I said combine things like Python with Bash and so forth and integrating them with other software that interact with them I get lost.
