I really don’t see the benefit of learning commands for a system I don’t use, and will frankly will never use. It will do nothing but confuse me. Annoyed, mostly because I’m paying quite a bit of money to now learn something I will just won’t use. Ever. How much effort would it really take for tutors to provide a short course in command line for Windows? It’s not as if there are dozens of other command consoles to provide tutelage for. Pretty disappointed. I came here to learn. How is this going to be useful for me?
I think the idea is wherever you end up working they will use a mix of Windows & Mac. In the previous two media companies I worked at, most of the tech team used Macs. It will take some time to learn it but it won’t be a waste as managers will know they can place you in Windows or Mac environment and you’ll be fine!
