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

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.
