Shut up and type all of this in. crash course in using the command line

  reading  this books takes me back to my school days
  when my english teacher also used to say shut up and memorize this spelling"

"Shut up and type all of this in."
Sorry to be mean, but that’s what you have to do. If you have an irrational fear of
the command line, the only way to conquer an irrational fear is to just shut up
and fight through it.
You are not going to destroy your computer. You are not going to be thrown into
some jail at the bottom of Microsoft’s Redmond campus. Your friends won’t
laugh at you for being a nerd. Simply ignore any stupid weird reasons you have
for fearing the command line.
Why? Because if you want to learn to code, then you must learn this.
Programming languages are advanced ways to control your computer with
language. The command line is the baby brother of programming languages.
Learning the command line teaches you to control the computer using language.
Once you get past that, you can then move on to writing code and feeling like
you actually own the hunk of metal you just bought.
