I remember that back in the days that i started to learn more about the different linux/unix tools, i was fascinated by the great wget http downloader. Believe me, you will end up using this one quite a lot, even just for means of running a cron to update a website or for some more interesting stuff, like downloading a whole website.
Few people actually understand the importance of knowing how to search online. Believe it or not, there are literally dozens of techniques about searching the internet. While few people would invest lots of time to learn more about that (although they really should), doing so is really worth it in the end. In this post, i will be describing you some of the nice things that you can do to make searching online a nice and fruitful experience for you.
If you are a seasoned computer programmer, you understand the need of doing things the easiest way. One of the tasks that people like us face all the time is having to do the same things over and over again. Knowing how to use the right tools can really save the day in that matter.
You may be thinking why we need to count words, lines or bytes as you read the title of this post. Actually, if you think a bit about it, you will see that it is quite useful to use a command like wc (no, it does not mean Water Cabinet, rather means something like Word Count).
As a computer programmer, you are probably studying lots of different areas of interest. Some of you may just be interested in programming, while others may also like to study about security, linux, operating systems, artificial intelligence and more. Therefore, it is more than likely that you are visiting lots of different online resources in order to gather knowledge.
Do you know why people want to be better in stuff that interest them ? Because of other people. Imagine that you were the only one appreciating the value of learning how to drive blindfolded. If so, why would you do it ? What good is knowledge if nobody really messes with your findings ?
When Socrates said the famous “the only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance”, he must have been thinking of computer programmers. Well, ok, there were no computers at that time. Knowledgewise, naming computer programmers after leechers would not be considered an exaggeration, would it ?
