Advanced Unix System Programming and Performance

The Advanced Unix System Programming and Performance Specialization offers a deep dive into the architecture, administration, and optimization of Unix-based systems. Across four structured courses, learners will master Unix command-line tools, shell scripting, file and process management, interprocess communication (IPC), and performance diagnostics. By combining theory with hands-on command-line practice, this specialization equips aspiring system administrators, developers, and engineers with the tools to analyze, automate, and troubleshoot Unix environments

• Apply Unix shell commands and scripting techniques to automate routine administrative tasks
• Analyze and manage Unix system processes, signals, and interprocess communication
• Evaluate system performance and implement command-line solutions for optimization and security

• No deep prior experience is required, but basic computer and internet skills are helpful
• Ability to read course instructions in English and complete short practice activities
