1. [Talking to the Web: curl](https://www.ask-codey.com/lessons/bash-curl) (Journeyman): curl fetches whatever is at a web address, from the terminal or a script: it prints a page, saves a download with -o or -O, asks a web API for JSON, shows the status code with -w, and with -f fails on an error instead of saving the error page.
