Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2004 13:58:48 CST From: "M. Leo Cooper" thegrendel@theriver.com Subject: Advanced Bash Scripting Guide, version 2.3 update
Announcing the version 2.3 release of the "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide." This e-book tutorial and reference is the equivalent of a 600-page print book. With 280 illustrative examples, the book covers virtually every aspect of scripting.
This e-book now contains printable reference cards, just like commercially available computer tutorials.
The author invites comparisons with *any* of the commercially printed books on shell scripting. His aim was to write "best of category" documentation.
"This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction ...all the while sneaking in little snippets of UNIX wisdom and lore. It serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and 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." -- from the Introduction
License: Open Publication License This means the book is *free* and freely distributable.
