This course teaches the IBM AIX computer professional (user, systems
administrator, application/system programmer) the techniques
needed to develop advanced shell and reporting type procedures
under Unix. Techniques in the major shells will be shown. Note that
all Unix systems support all of the techniques in this course.

This is an advanced Unix course. It is assumed that participants
either have attended the Introduction to Unix (IBM AIX)
course, or have equivalent experience with a Unix system.
