Hi,

I have used just Windows for programming so far. Now, I have an internship starting in two weeks and I will be using just Linux environment with Python programming language. I've installed Ubuntu on my system but have no exposure to shell scripting.

I need some advice on how I can quickly learn to use the Linux terminal quickly. Any books or web resources that you can suggest?

Also, is there a particular IDE that is generally preferred for Python programming on Linux, or is Vim preferred? How can I best prepare myself for the internship ahead?

Thanks for taking the time.
