Okay! This time we're reading about cool and useful Unix tools. We've got some wargames to start us off, a fun way to learn Unix better through a series of challenges. Next is a great series of articles regarding using Unix as a development environment, then an overview of awk and tmux, some of the most useful Unix tools that I use. Finally a list of some other cool tools you may want to check out. I hope you find that it's worth a read!

Hopefully you learned something 🤞! If you did, please consider checking out my book: It teaches the principles of using optics in Haskell and other functional programming languages and takes you all the way from an beginner to wizard in all types of optics! You can get it here. Every sale helps me justify more time writing blog posts like this one and helps me to continue writing educational functional programming content. Cheers!
