## Introduction
Hey girls, the following steps will show you how to use the black window. This window is also called the "command line", "cmd" and "terminal".

Each operating system has a set of commands to the black screen. The Windows system is the most basic version.
Here are some useful commands:
Have you ever felt that the world is more and more about technology and you are somehow left behind? Have you ever wondered how to create a website but have never had enough motivation to start? Have you ever thought that the software world is too complicated for you to even try doing something on your own?

* The **exit** commmand - this will cause the window to close; it makes sense, right? No need to explain a lot ...
Well, we have good news for you! Programming is not as hard as it seems and we want to show you how fun it could be.

The tutorial will not magically turn you into programmer. If you want to be good at it, you need months or even years of learning and practice. But we want to show you that programming or creating websites is not as complicated as it seems. We will try to explain different bits and pieces as well as we can, so you will not feel intimidated by technology.

* The **cd** command - this command allows you to **c**hange your current **d**irectory. To use the cd command you type cd directoryname and press enter.
For example if you are in a directory called c:\test, and there were three directories in that the test directory called A, B, and C, you could just type **cd A** and press enter. You would then be in the c:\test\A.


* The **cd ..** command - this will take you back to the next folder up.


* The **dir** command for WIN and **ls** command for other OS - this command will list the files and directories contained in your current directory. If I typed **dir \test** or **ls test** I would see the contents of the c:\test directory.
Also note for many commands you can use the \* symbol which stands for wildcard. With this in mind, typing **dir *.txt** on WIN or **ls *.txt** on other OS will only list those files that end with .txt.


* The **copy** command on WIN or **cp** command on other - this command allows you to copy files from one location to another. To use this command you would type **copy *sourcefile targetfile***. For example if you have the file c:\test\test.txt and would like to copy it to c:\windows\test.txt you would type
**copy c:\test\test.txt c:\windows\test.txt** and press enter.
We hope that we'll be able to make you love technology as much as we do!

## What will you learn during the tutorial?
