A Great Introduction to Shell Scripts in UNIX, Dec 19 2007
This review is from: Classic Shell Scripting: Hidden Commands that Unlock the Power of Unix (Paperback)
Personal Info: I am a college math/stats instructor. I use UNIX that comes with the Mac OS X operating system.
I purchased this book about a year and a half ago. I've gradually worked through most of the book, not necessarily in the order the chapters were written. I learned a great deal about shell scripts and UNIX in general. I would highly recommend this book to someone who has been introduced to UNIX and would like to learn more of the shell and how to write scripts. There is also a very good introductory chapter on the language awk. I've been able to implement several awk programs (some one-liners, some contained in their own script) to accomplish various tasks.
