Ask HN: MIT missing semester: Windows version?

2 pointsshinyeyes2 comments

I'm a savvy Unix (Linux and macOS) user and am looking for materials to help me become an effective Windows user because of my work. On Unix, I like to automate things using shell scripts and I do most things on a terminal with tmux. I've never used Windows as an engineer. Would there be something like MIT missing semester course (https://missing.csail.mit.edu/2020/) for Windows?

The least effort route is just to use WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) to give yourself a Linux command line environment.

If you're determined to go native, I'd simply take the relevant areas of that course and work out how you would do them in Powershell. You could even make a HN posting out of your efforts.

Or just feed your bash scripts into GPT and ask it to translate it to Powershell
