Title: Wicked Cool Shell Scripts
Review: For someone rather new to shell scripting this book was just what I needed. Having started off with Learning the BASH Shell, I grabbed Dave's book to what what else I could and add to my library of scripts. What this book pointed out to me was the wide range of applications that scripting is usefull for. Being someone new to a *NIX system, part of my problem has been just knowing what can/should be done with a script....This book solved part of that problem.The only reason this didn't get 5 stars was that I could've used more line-by-line reasoning (like a "PERL by Example" book). I can understand that this would've made the book about 5x longer though...Anyways, overall a good read, but most of all it got me to THINK about using scripts in my everyday programming.
Is the review positive or negative?
