This page lists workshops I've given on the UNIX shell command language and utilities, as specified by the Shell and Utilities (XCU) volume of [POSIX.1][posix], [published][unix] by the IEEE and The Open Group. Everything covered applies to any sufficiently-compliant shell and operating system.

It was based on a similar tutorial I had given during meetings of NJIT ACM's SIG GNU/Linux in the Fall of 2011.
