Description

Summary

This comprehensive and authoritative book about bash programming is a must-have book for any Linux/Unix professionals.

It is both a tutorial and a reference on shell scripting with Bash.It assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . . . all the while sneaking in little nuggets of UNIX(R) wisdom and lore.

It serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and as a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques.

The exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts.

This book is suitable for classroom use as a general introduction to programming concepts.
