The Missing Semester of Your CS Education

There are a few CS teachers who’ve taught/teach at MIT that think that there are some things should be taught for CS but aren’t, so they got together to make a free online course with those subjects:

The Missing Semester of Your CS Education

Classes teach you all about advanced topics within CS, from operating systems to machine learning, but there’s one critical subject that’s rarely covered, and is instead left to students to figure out on their own: proficiency with their tools. We’ll teach you how to master the command-line, use a powerful text editor, use fancy features of version control systems, and much more!

Students spend hundreds of hours using these tools over the course of their education (and thousands over their career), so it makes sense to make the experience as fluid and frictionless as possible. Mastering these tools not only enables you to spend less time on figuring out how to bend your tools to your will, but it also lets you solve problems that would previously seem impossibly complex.

Lol, looks like the gist is, how to actually use a computer for software development. Not bad.
