(01) GUI vs CLI, Compiling, and Writing Your First CLI Tool | Winter Bootcamp

*Clarification: A good engineer will use whatever tool that gets the job done efficiently. It is not an ideological fight on whether you will use ONLY a graphical interface or ONLY a command-line interface. This sessions tried to emphasize the importance of learning the CLI for budding engineers; otherwise, we still use GUIs whenever convenient!

Hosted by three SOC members, Mouaz Kassoumah, Adham Elmosalamy, Ahmed Asaleh as part of the club’s Winter Bootcamp initiative.
