Unix/Linux Bash Guide-This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scr ipting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . . . all the while sneaking in little nuggets of UNIX®　wisdom and lore. It serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference and source of knowledge on shell scr ipting techniques. The exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to really learn scr ipting is to write scr ipts. This book is suitable for classroom use as a general introduction to programming concepts.
