A scripting or script language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled).

This course is specially designed for newbies and going to cover following scripting language

Python

Python is a great flexible programming language that can be used in many situations. In this tutorial, we will focus primarily on it's ability to enhance the Unix/Linux shell environment. Typically in Unix you will create "bash" shell scripts, but you can also create shell scripts using python, and it's really simple! You can even name your shell scripts with the .sh extension and run them as you would run any bash shell script

Ruby

Ruby is a great flexible object-oriented and functional programming language that can be used in many situations. In this tutorial, we will focus primarily on it's ability to enhance the Unix/Linux shell environment. Typically in Unix you will create "bash" shell scripts, but you can also create shell scripts using ruby, and it's really simple! You can even name your shell scripts with the .sh extension and run them as you would run any bash shell script
