- Code readings
- Moving up and down the hierarchy ... maybe link to Danny Hillis Pattern in the Stone text / presentation?!
Signicant and non-obvious idea: with free software, one really (can) begin with the code and use the code itself as documentation (it sometimes is the best / only documentation).
- Performing a script
- The concept of a "PATH"
- Creating a "bin" folder, ensuring it's in the path.

Claiming the terminal
- gtypist:
- Typing

(though... ktouch is better)
Open .bash_aliases in your HOME directory, and add:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$HOME/pythonlib
- argparse (+ Inkscape)

- Rudimentary understanding of BASH scripts
- Make a PDF of a man page
- midge/midi output
what is a script?
what is a variable?
what is a loop?
