Defensive Driving for the Shell [1117]
  • Wednesday, Sep 201:30 PM - 2:15 PM CDT
    (6:30 PM - 7:15 PM GMT)
A good defensive driving course comes down to a small number of concepts: hazard perception, risk avoidance, reducing overconfidence and situational awareness. This presentation looks at applying those same ideas to our shell scripts and extension attributes so we can have stronger, safer code.

From 5-line extension attributes to security shell scripts that run to over a thousand lines, shell programming is a key part of Jamf Pro administration. We can all write better code.

Through examples of shell code attendees will learn:
- How to avoid bad code
- How to make code comprehensible
- How to write resilient code
