    80G. Nature and Language of Computers (Introduction to Unix)
    MWF 12:30–1:40pm
    Classroom Unit I
    Instructor: Geoffrey Pullum
    E-mail: pullum at ling.ucsc.edu
    Introduction to computing, the Internet, and the World Wide Web through
    the language of the Unix operating system. Oriented to the beginner, the
    course presupposes no previous acquaintance with any particular sort of
    computer. It covers the basic concepts of text editing and formatting,
    writing web pages in basic HTML, and promotes a rigorous understanding
    of Unix commands and shell scripts. Views communication with a computer
    as a matter of learning a few simple, though powerful, languages. (Also
    offered as Computer Science 80G. Students may not receive credit for
    both courses.)
    Prerequisites: none.
    General Education Code: T2 (Topical-Natural Sciences).
