Rating: This is a valuable introduction book for the bash shell. The best part of this book for me was all the tasks after each subsection. These tasks are designed to encourage you to think about new commands you just learned. The difficulty level was right-on for me, neither too simple or too hard. These helpful practices are rarely seen in other handbooks. Reading and understanding this book, plus completing the recommended tasks, will get you well on your way to productive bash usage and bash programming. One disappointment was that the book is not a complete reference. The book covers most useful materials you need to know but not all. If you want a complete reference to the bash shell, skip this one. I highly recommend this book for people in beginning or intermediate level who want to know bash shell.
