If you really want to understand the terminal, you have to look into it's history, going back to physical computer terminals, to teleprinters/teletypewriters (TTY) . A CTRL combination like ^Z or ^C actually sends a character code to the shell. These are called control characters (hence the CTRL key), as they don't represent graphical characters to be printed, but commands to control the device outputting the text. You can see them if you look at an ASCII table. For example ^G sends code 7, telling the receiver to ring a bell (a physical one originally). ^H (or the backspace key) moves the writing head back one character, which would let you fill in a space or print a character on top of another character, like O [Backspace] ^ would print Ô. ^C sends the "end of text" character. ^J sends the "line feed" character, which on typewriters would feed the next line to the writing head, without moving the carriage back to the beginning of the new line. To start writing the new line you'd then also need the "carriage return" control character ^M. This is why new lines are LFCR (line feed carriage return) on Windows. On Unix-like systems, only the line feed character is used. You may be familiar with the C escape sequences for these control codes: \n (line feed) \r (carriage return) \0 (null) \t (horizontal tab) One thing I love is that the Delete code is 1111111 in binary. This is because it was designed for punched cards/tape, where it would overwrite any other character by punching a hole in every position, in contrast to \0 (null) - 0000000, which was supposed to be ignored and wouldn't do anything.

In spite of the fact that computer technology is changing very rapidly and sometimes in very drastic ways, the UNIX/Linux fluency still remains so relevant. I am amazed that Unix knowledge I acquired in my college days (25+ years ago) still carries me thru in various jobs. I've changed so many languages and frameworks over the years, they become obsolete or not in demand, but knowledge of Linux is still crucial. Same for SQL. If nothing else -data structures, Linux commands and SQL should be in your foundation.
@neverhomepnw
I love how slow paced it is. A lot videos (even paid ones) feel rushed and use terms which can throw me off. Truly appreciate all the hard work you did. Mad respect to you Colt.

I have started my full stack developer journey with Colt's Full stack developer bootcamp on Udemy 3 years ago. That was probably the best course I have ever taken. He is a great tutor.
@Android-17
Colt Steele is the absolute best! I recently started in programming with his web development course. It's very in depth yet so easy to understand.
@otectus
It was so late I ended up falling asleep to this video still playing through my headset into my ears. It invaded my dreams and I somehow learned more in my sleep than I have in months. 10/10 video, seriously.
@sharongershoni
Colt is the best teacher I have ever had. His teaching is expansive while thorough, and so generous - accessible and inclusive.
@mohitdas5292
Colt Steele is one of my best coding teacher out there and also a man who helped me to start my programming journey. Thanks Colt and I love your cat Rusty ❤️🙂

@rajanAdam
as soon as i saw Colt in thumbnail i knew it’s gonna be amazing. Colt Steele you are responsible for thousands of web developer around the world.
@JBSbass
I’m a Windows Sys admin, MCSA, CCNA, CWNA CompTIA, I’ve started Linux like 5 times and always walked away over a 10 year dig. This guy has kept my interest this time round. Thnx for keeping it interesting.....
@FXMV2012
Thank you guys for this amazing course! Enjoy it from begin to end

Hi - I started with zero knowledge without knowing what is mean by Linux. I finished this youtube video in 6 days and created a short notes in excel for my understanding. I am very happy this video added some knowledge in my head. Now I am confident on the Linux commands. Thanks a lot for your service on making this command simple and understandable. Love from India......
@Mega_Casual
Using Octal, an easy way to remember permissions is: R=4, W=2, X=1. Then if you add them by octal number it combines those values. Ex- 4 is read only, 6 is R and W, 7 is RWX. 5 is RX. 2 is W.
@matthewvonhofen
That feeling when you review the description and feel confident in your understanding of all the topics.

Bro is a legend running commands for three different operating systems on the same machine.
@EchoVids2u
Colt by far is my dev favorite teacher. He is insanely good.
@zekeking
Colt's videos really let me hit the ground running at my first job where I had to interact with the terminal and use Git. Love his stuff. P.S. freeCodeCamp you should do even more collabs like this :)
