Screencasts provide a video of the instructor’s computer system with any actions, commands, or screens displayed and narrated.

Each Command Listing includes the exact listings used in the previous lectures and a reference guide for newly introduced commands. All commands used in this course are available through the Command Listing lectures.Several attachments throughout the course provide supplemental information, illustrations, or other reference material.
