This guide discusses concepts useful in the daily life of the serious Bash user.

While a basic knowledge of shell usage is required, it starts with a discussion of shell building blocks and common practices. Then it presents the grep, awk and sed tools that will lateron be used to create more interesting examples.

The second half of the course is about shell constructs such as loops, conditional tests, functions and traps, and a number of ways to make interactive scripts.

All chapters come with examples and exercises that will help you become familiar with the theory.
