Developing a shell pipeline designed to count the *different* words in an essay, and storing this in a script for future use.

 

Obtaining information from the web without using a web browser.

 

Producing documents via the LaTeX document system, including ones generated by a script.

 

Building a web site of photos, including the task of renaming a huge number of image files systematically without needing to deal with them one at time.
