Episode 1 echo "Hello!"

Welcome to Command Line TV, a new video podcast to help you learn and master the UNIX shell. In this first episode, we talk about our backgrounds, the scope of this endeavor, opening your terminal, and using basic commands like cd and ls to explore a directory tree.

You can follow along using the same directory structure by downloading it from https://github.com/commandlinetv/sample-files.

Note: we have a few minor problems in this first episode with audio synchronization and a somewhat noisy environment. It gets better in future episodes!
