Get new Lullabot videos early and get 'em cheap!
After spending a while trying to figure out the best way to offer discounts to our past customers on new video releases, I came to a realization: why not just give a discount to everyone who buys the videos early?

This is the first video in a series that shows basic command line usage for *nix systems, such as Linux, Mac OS X, and on Windows, using applications like Cygwin. This video shows the following commands and spends the most time explaining how to move around your file structure from the command line:

While at Drupalcamp Copenhagen I got into a few conversations about Drupal aha! moments, particularly around theming. After trying to talk in abstract about the things that finally "clicked" for me when I was learning Drupal, I offered to write it up with some specifics.
