Welcome to LearnLinuxTV’s brand new complete course on Bash Scripting! In this 18 episode series, you’ll learn everything you need to know in order to start writing Bash scripts. Each video builds on the previous one, with additional concepts added as the series progresses. Examples will start off easy with shorter scripts, and by the end of the series you’ll be able to write more complex scripts that will actually come in handy while maintaining Linux servers. In this episode, we’ll take a look at how this course is structured and what you can expect to get out of it.
Supply chain attacks in open source software projects are a real possibility. In fact, we’ve covered actual incidents in previous episodes of this podcast.

This is definitely something you’ll want to be aware of if your organization produces open-source software, but even non-developers should be aware of it as well.
