Are you
Booming or Fuming?
THE ANNOUNCING ISSUE - 20030101!
When was the last time you spent several hours trying to get some obscure scripting command to do what you wanted?
Was it last week, Yesterday, or TODAY?!
How much time and money have you SPENT while trying to SAVE time
and money by writing a "quick batch file"?!!!
"If only I had a utility to do xxx task..."
"If only my servers were not 'locked down' so I could install xxx utility and use it in my scripts..."
"If only I could figure out how to do xxx task using only builtin commands..."
If only...IF ONLY...!
TODAY IS THE DAY...
for you to leave the FUMING FOOTHILLS -OF- "If only..."
and to start climbing MOUNT KNOWLEDGE where there is NO FUMING, and you can
SEE CLEARLY.
On the /\ TOP OF THE MOUNT
/\, we are ALL BOOMING, and NO ONE IS FUMING!
Starting on Wednesday, January 8, 2003, BoomingOrFuming? will be providing a complete course on
writing reliable and maintainable shell scripts over several months.
We'll take you on the pilgrimage of Joe Fumer, the Windows System Administrator, as he leaves the Fuming Foothills
and journeys up Mount Knowledge in search of an end to his fuming.
Here's a quick preview:
| As the sun rises in the eastern sky above "SET
Ridge", the early morning workers are already trying to log in and get into the database. Joe gets a call from his boss while driving to work, "The System's Down! No one can get into the
network!". "I'll be there in five minutes!", Joe replies frantically, as he tries to go over the changes he made to the backup script late last night. Looks like this is going to be another
Fuming Day. |
Joe has help on the way and but he doesn't know it yet. He's about to discover a way to flourish instead of
perish!
Space is limited and time is short, so reserve your spot today!
