Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide 5.0

by Mendel Cooper

This document 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. The exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader participation. Still, it is a work in progress. The intention is to add much supplementary material in future updates to this document, as it evolves into a comprehensive book that matches or surpasses any of the shell scripting manuals in print.

[Joseph Fountain]

It's the definition of art, a hidden treasure.

[Artem Lytvynov · Rating 3 out of 5]

A well-known 'Linux-manual' style. Still, the book is interesting, full of example usages of various Bash commands, but requires real-world practice in order to memorize and use provided hints.

[Anton Antonov · Rating 4 out of 5]

The most comprehensive and recent Bash scripting guide. Lacks eye-candy, but does the job.
