Command Line is a text-based interface for computers to process commands. While other interfaces exist, Command Line is used frequently by software systems. While simple compared to many other systems, Command Line is essential to coding basics. Students taking Command Line classes will learn how to send tasks to their computer via text-based commands and be able to troubleshoot problems from the back-end. Command Line serves as a foundation for more advanced learning.

Command Line expertise can lead to future careers in coding and software development. This skill is pertinent across operating systems and applications. Software engineers can expect a 21% increase in job opportunities over the next ten years. As more and more businesses rely on web-based technologies, skilled software engineers are needed to develop code and create a system that interacts across departments. Software developers can expect an average salary of $70,000, though this can grow significantly with further experience and additional skills.

Bootcamps that include courses in Command Line are offered in-person and online, with several experience levels available. Students should consider the type of instruction and their background in coding when selecting the best fit.
