Its aim seems to impart wisdom on how this piece can help you in this area, and reminds us all about this other piece, which we forgot about but begs to be included in our existing workflow. And over time, this toolbox will increase the efficiency of, and perhaps even size/capabilities of our own personal assembly lines.As toolbox as it is, it's like any other toolbox and assumes that the reader knows enough about most of the individual tools and has worked with enough of them over time to make use of what's included in the box ("book").Don't buy until you've written a few of your own scripts/functions and want to take the next step in actually becoming good at this. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From Zero to Scripting in a Quick 100 Pages! *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2016* Succinctly:In less than 100 pages, the author gets you up and running with [Bash] shell scripting. The entire book is precise, clear, and well structured. There is no divergence from the topic or the lessons, only short tips on common errors, style, and convention. In some cases I did look elsewhere to figure somethings out, but that was my own need for differentiated instruction. As such, I enrolled in the author's course on Udemy, which is cheap (link below).If, like me, you get distracted by implementation details and are looking for a book that will teach you shell scripting from scratch quickly (or quickly tie a bunch of disparate knowledge together), then this book is for you! I also highly recommend the Udemy course in addition to the book.Below is a reply to the author of "Shell Scripting", Jason Cannon, over at his course on Udemy [...]"Thanks for the this awesome course and your equally awesome book: "Shell Scripting"! I love that from pp 2 - 85 is basically no fluff or divergence from what you've set out to do: teaching shell scripting succinctly. I also love that I can switch in between your video lectures and the book, or go over sections from your video lectures in the book. Great flexibility and scaffolding for learning.It's really great that you've provided a straight forward and ​practical introduction to shell scripting. I will recommend this to anyone having the same problem as me with more traditional [Bash] scripting tutorials, which is that they have some amount of divergence from actual shell scripting. While I really am interested in things like Processes, Streams, and File Descriptors; I get really caught-up in the implementation side of things. I can focus on implementation later, as I progress in knowledge.So, again, thank you!" ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get this book and you won't regret it *by J***F on Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2017* This book is worth every penny! I learned more about BASH scripting from this book than any previous learning material I've sunk my time into. The sections of this book are logically organized, with each new section building off of the information presented in the previous sections. The material is concise and to the point, with direct examples provided throughout. The exercises at the end of each section really help you to start using what you've learned, and the solutions provided afterwards help you to see if you are on the right track or not.While this might not be the ultimate shell scripting bible, it certainly gives you a solid foundation to be comfortable reading and writing shell scripts.I would (and do) recommend this book to everyone interested in learning shell scripting. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/117365542-shell-scripting-how-to-automate-command-line-tasks-using-bash](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/117365542-shell-scripting-how-to-automate-command-line-tasks-using-bash) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
