Bash Tutorial

Beginning my Bash ventures, I started with the following Tutorials.




The first video was just to re-familiarize myself with the lessons we've been going over in class. The second video was to get myself acquainted with using other commands in a bash shell.

Using the information from these tutorials I created an executable script that would go to http://apod.nasa.gov/apod and download the image posted from each day in 2010 and sort them into a file for each month.

Unfortunately the terminal in MAC has a different way to format dates so my script did not run correctly. I am currently working on learning to change the format of the date so my script is able to run using the http://apod.nasa.gov/apod format for their image storage.
