Scripting Resources


Forum|alt.badge.img+6

With my ISD closing and put on work from home status, I'd like to take this week to boost my scripting skills. I typically use this community as a HUGE resource (and grateful to those that freely share), but would like to be more independent and be able to granulate to my environment. What has been your biggest resource in learning to script? Paid or free, I'm open to it all.

Thanks!

Hi @swallace ,

A course that I highly recommend taking is:
https://linuxacademy.com/linux/training/course/name/the-system-administrators-guidep-to-bash-scripting

The tutorial here are always nice for a refresh:
https://ryanstutorials.net/bash-scripting-tutorial/
https://ryanstutorials.net/linuxtutorial/

Here is another website resource I found to be helpful:
https://wilsonmar.github.io/mac-osx-terminal/

The Jamf Training Catalog course on scripting is also a great reference.

Once you start scripting, creating a Style Guide can be really helpful in speeding up your workflow. Also, making sure you take great notes and save the scripts with names that makes sense can really help.
