I went to Purdue over a decade ago and we had a 1 credit hour lab that taught this stuff. Unix command line, git, bash, and finally some python.

Like you said, it's been a complete game changer. I feel these skills continue to differentiate me from my peers in terms of how I can attack arbitrary problems bravely to this day.

They still teach this stuff at Purdue. I graduated a few years ago and by far the most important class was about how unix works, moving around the command line and finally introducing us to vim

<3 Me and a few others created this course in 2014. Glad you found it useful! I got so much joy out of the content creating the content for the lectures and labs.
