Announcing the version 2.7 release of the "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide."
This e-book tutorial and reference is the equivalent of a 556-page print
book.

With 293 illustrative examples, the book covers virtually every aspect of
scripting.

This e-book now contains printable reference cards, just like commercially
available computer tutorials.

The author invites comparisons with any of the commercially printed books on
shell scripting. His aim was to write "best of category" documentation.

          "This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of
           scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an
           intermediate/advanced level of instruction ...all the while
           sneaking in little snippets of UNIX wisdom and lore. It serves
           as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference
           and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The
           exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader
           participation, under the premise that the only way to really
           learn scripting is to write scripts."
                -- from the Introduction
