UNIX Users Association of Southern California - LA

This page is for the Los Angeles County chapter of the UNIX Users Association of Southern California. We welcome people who are interested in any and all forms of UNIX. The primary focus of the group is our monthly presentations, which are designed to hopefully improve technical knowledge, rather than be just sales-type presentations.

Membership is FREE. Just come to a meeting, and sign yourself up for the (e)mailing list!


Next Meeting, Thursday June 6th, 7pm-9pm

Note: New Location

Location: M-GO 3534 Hayden, Culver City, CA, 90232

James Pannacciulli - GNU Bash: An Introduction to Advanced Usage

For our June 2013 meeting, James Pannacciuli will be delivering an encore presentation of his SCALE11x talk which was well attended and well received.

In this presentation James will present a broad but detailed introduction to advanced Bash features for users who are comfortable using Bash at least at a basic or intermediate level. He will cover the distinction between various command types (file, builtin, function, keyword), as well as how to find appropriate system and command documentation. Compound commands like for loops, while loops, conditionals and command groups will be covered, along with how these can be used to build functions. He will also explore effective usage of parameter expansion (substitution and indirection), string manipulation, and brace expansion.

After the meeting, attendees are invited to mingle with many of the chapter members at UUASC-LA's new after meeting location Father's Office which is a short walk from Media Temple.


UUASC is for all persons using UNIX either personally or professionally, or interested in learning more about UNIX. We recognize all varieties of UNIX, including (without prejudice) SCO, Linux, SVr4, Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, and BSD. This is a good place to meet others with similar interests and broaden your skills and knowledge.
