- The online book, [Learn Enough Command Line to Be Dangerous](https://www.learnenough.com/command-line-tutorial), is a great resource for mastering the command line. Chapters 1 and 2 are free and provide a good introduction to command line tools. The rest of the book is not free and goes into more depth than you really need at this point, but feel free to buy and read the rest of the book if you like.

**We can only support what is provided within the scope of our curriculum. We do not support native Windows as a development environment.** Using Windows has been discussed many times and it is not feasible to do so at this time. Please do not ask us to support Windows, and **do not bring it up in the Discord**. We are constantly evaluating our curriculum to keep content as fresh and accessible as possible, and Windows has not proven to be a path of low resistance.
