I find the pace too slow. Also, I am already familiar with linux/windows shell, and was expecting the focus to be on the difference between Mac OS X and other shells.

I really liked that the lessons are short, so you don't spend too much time wasting time. In some parts, the content required the audience to already have a basic understanding of the UNIX terminal, but overall, it is a great introduction to showing the basics of the Mac Terminal.

Every lesson is the same. Instructor reads manual and then rambles on incomprehensibly for a bit. Very disappointing.
