I'40 years out of date.

I used to write programs in Atari Basic and Algol, 40 years ago. The RPI will hopefully let me rediscover the fun. Advice would be welcome on which manuals are best for learning Unix and Python. The YouTube movies are fine, but a bit tedious for me. (I learnt Atari basic by reading the manual on just one train journey)

Found this :

The power of Debian at your fingertips !

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
apt-get install algol68g

should do it.

Anyway , you might want to start with Python instead :

After being away from the command line for years, I found I liked the following page as a quick cheat sheet to learn basic Unix, pretty much the same as Linux as far as commands:

I have a page with links to other, more extensive how-to's and tutorials for basic Linux newcomers.

The command line is my favorite place to be, but I will confess I got into just plain old bash scripting along with sed, no hard core programming now.
