<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Look beyond the basics of Mac programming and development to become a Mac power user. When most people think about the Mac, they think about the amazing graphical user interface macOS is known for. However, there is a whole world to explore beneath the hood. This book approaches working directly in the terminal with fun projects and ideas to help turn you into an advanced Mac user. <br>You'll work with Brew (HomeBrew), which gives you the ability to install applications from Linux (and Unix) that can make the terminal more useful. This is important, because a lot of applications have been stripped out of macOS or deprecated. For example, Apple's built-in PHP is usually a major release behind. You'll also customize your terminal to change everything about it, making it your own. The whole world is about personalizing. Why put up with the Apple defaults? <br>Once you have your terminal set up and ready to rock, you'll review the basics of programming on the Mac terminal. This will allow you to get a taste of power scripting. You'll discover the power of bash, PHP, and Python. And then you'll apply those tools to web development. <p><i>Tweak Your Mac Terminal</i> takes you on a journey into a world of the terminal and its hidden applications. </p><p> </p><br><b>What You'll Learn</b><br><ul><li>Customize the terminal to make it perfect for your needs</li><li>Develop web applications using basic coding skills in the terminal</li><li>Install HomeBrew and by extension Linux and Unix applications</li></ul><br><b>Who This Book Is For</b>Mac users who are already very familiar with the GUI and want to go further.
