The point in the introduction about people who work with developers needing to be familiar with the console is hugely important, in my opinion. It's the one bridge, short of someone having actual previous coding experience, that really makes my life easier at work. It also makes people feel, or so I observe, more confident and in control of their workstation.

Indeed, I hope that the three-tutorial sequence covering the command line, text editors, and Git will be a useful package for the works-with-developers crowd.
This is great! I work on a team of "intended audience members" for this and have already shared it with some people. Is this the first of the 3 tutorials or do Git/Editors ones exist as well? (I know there are plenty of other git resources out there) Cheers!
Glad to hear it! Learn Enoughâ„¢ Command Line to Be Dangerous is the first of eight planned prerequisites to the Rails Tutorial, the first three of which cover the command line, text editors, and Git. The text editor tutorial is currently in preparation, to be followed by Git, et al. See http://learnenough.com/ for more information.
