[tavareshugo]

Content:

• Intersperse exercises in Files & Folders
• New early exercise to let them explore the filesystem. Idea: change a filename using your explorer and then check on the terminal that the file has changed.
• Make sure to clarify distinction between grep and *
• In for loops: clarify that scripts can call other scripts.
  • maybe a diagram would help here
  • some scripts we write for a particular analysis, other scripts we use to automate our analysis (and they may be calling the specific scripts)

Delivery:

• Add to trainer tips:
  • Have the file explorer next to the terminal to show the correspondence between the two
  • When should you listen and when should you follow along?
• Remember to test screen share with trainer on day 1
• Remove remote resources from timetable

Transferred from last iteration:

• Username in training environment #22
• Make sure the course materials match the username that is chosen for issue above.
