Question Description
ITS1960 LINUX PROGRAMMING PROJECT
Two widely used scripting languages for Linux administration (as well as in network administration, cybersecurity, data science and other IT domains requiring on the fly management of systems) are Bash and Python. This project will help you extend what you have already learned with Bash scripting as well as introduce you to Python scripting.
Goal:
Provide students with the ability to create simple scripts/programs to automate and perform simple operations. This knowledge should include basic security practices in developing scripts/programs (e.g., bounds checking, input validation).
Topics:
o Basic Security
o Bounds checking, input validation
o Program Commands
o Program Control Structures
o Variable Declaration
o Debugging
o Scripting Language
o Basic Boolean logic/operations
o AND / OR / XOR / NOT
Outcomes:
- Students will be able to demonstrate their proficiency in the use of scripting languages to write simple scripts (e.g., to automate system administration tasks).
- Students will be able to write simple and compound conditions within a programming language or similar environment (e.g., scripts, macros, SQL).
- Students will be able to write simple linear and looping scripts.
Objectives:
- Install and troubleshoot running Python interpreter and development environment in Linux
- Code, debug and compile a series of increasingly complex Bash & Python scripts from tutorials.
