All You Need to Know, and Nothing You Don't, About Core Tools for Software Development

Three of the core tools needed for modern software development are the Unix command line, a text editor, and version control with Git. But you don't need to learn "everything" about them, just how to use them efficiently to solve real problems. In Learn Enough Developer Tools to Be Dangerous, renowned instructor Michael Hartl teaches the specific concepts, skills, and approaches you need so you can learn to write apps, get hired, collaborate, and maybe even launch your own company.

Even if you've never used (or even heard of) these tools before, Hartl helps you quickly build technical sophistication and master the lore you need to succeed. Focused exercises help you internalize what matters, without wasting time on details pros don't care about. Soon, it'll be like you were born knowing this stuff--and you'll be suddenly, seriously dangerous.

Praise for Learn Enough Tutorials "Going through Learn Enough Git is wonderful. I am actually learning. . . I've done three other Git tutorials and still felt so lost. Doing it all now makes so much sense. It's like a light bulb." --Janelle Staar "I bought the Learn Enough Command Line to Be Dangerous last fall, and it's paid off sooooo many times in my new job. During my first week, I had a manager sitting right beside me giving me the 'go here, go there, do this, etc.' Having watched, read, and done the exercises, I was confident in getting around the CLI [command-line interface]--and even had him asking, 'What was that shortcut?' For this, I thank you. Now I need a 'Learn even more CLI to be dangerouser.'" --Thomas Thackery "I must say, this Learn Enough series is a masterpiece of education. Thank you for this incredible work!" --Michael King "I want to thank you for the amazing job you have done with the tutorials. They are likely the best tutorials I have ever read." --Pedro Iatzky
