    shell scripting books

    New to computer science and linux/unix. Looking for a simple book for shell scripting. (something like "unix visual quick start guide", which I liked very much, it was simple enough, not necessarily looking for a 500-1000 book that is too dry/professional/discouraging.)

    Thoughts?

    If your looking for a actual book I am not sure as there are several good ones. But here is an awesome Site to start learning online.

    That one is rather tough, but very good:
    Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide
    That one is rather easy, but a bit childish:
    Bash Guide for Beginners
    That is perfect for me:
    EnglishFrontPage - Greg's Wiki
    it comes with the guide, the pitfalls and the FAQ.
    I don't know this one:
    Bash Hackers Wiki Frontpage [Bash Hackers Wiki]

    Perhaps mix them.

    Another link:
    Working more productively with bash 2.x/3.x

    Okay for a "Real Book" I always find myself going back to Linux Command Line and Shell Scripting Bible. I have many actual books but for some reason this one is the most worn out. (Great reference manual)
