Ask HN: What are the best resources to learn shell scripting? 10 points by b2hack 13y ago ↗ HN What are the best resources, courses, tutorial to learn shell script.
[–] moonboots 13y ago ↗ A good intro is a talk given by Ryan Tomayko called the Shell Hater's Handbook[1]. His POSIX Shell and Utilities is also a great reference[2]. For a more comprehensive guide, I recommend the dash man pages[3]. Dash is shell, the good parts.[1] http://shellhaters.heroku.com/ [2] http://shellhaters.heroku.com/posix [3] http://linux.die.net/man/1/dash [–] b2hack 13y ago ↗ This is very good. In any case I want a tutorial if possible. Something with exercises.

[–] olefoo 13y ago ↗ Get the book Unix Power Tools http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596003302.doKeep it on your desk; read and apply a tool whenever you have a minute.
[–] sk2code 13y ago ↗ According to me this is the best place to start http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ [–] carloc 13y ago ↗ Absolutely. ABS is the single most awesomenest place to learn shell scripting (with bash, but why bother with something else?).
