Hey, thanks for everyones input. I really do appreciate it.

I've been trying to do some research on some good books to help me learn scripting.

Background at the moment is that I use Linux and *BSD as my main operating systems, with Windows 2000 in the background. I'd like to further increase my skills in Linux and *BSD as well as venture into Solaris.

I'm new to scripting, so i'm still trying to learn just exactly what would be most beneficial for me to learn, both personally and professionally.

Here are a list of some books i've found that sound promising:

UNIX System Administration Handbook (3rd Edition) by Evi Nemeth

UNIX Shell Programming, Revised Edition by Stephen G. Kochan, Patrick H. Wood

The Korn Shell: Linux and Unix Shell Programming Manual (3rd Edition) by Anatole Olczak

UNIX Network Programming by W. Richard Stevens
UNIX Network Programming, Volume 2: Interprocess Communications (2nd Edition) by W. Richard Stevens

Programming Perl (3rd Edition) by Larry Wall

Perl Cookbook by Tom Christiansen

Linux and Unix Shell Programming by David Tansley

Learning Perl (3rd Edition) by Randal L. Schwartz

Learning the Bash Shell (Nutshell Handbooks) by Cameron Newham, Bill Rosenblatt

Quite a list eh? Ya, I love books. Just need to pick one at this time to get me started.

Any suggestions on a book to help me learn scripting/shell programming? Just to restate, i'm new to scripting and shell programming.

Thanks everyone!

Tarballed

PS. Feel free to suggest other books. ANything to help me build my skills. Smilie

Higher-Order Perl: http://hop.perl.plover.com/ Other interesting, non-Perl books You might notice several familiar Perl concepts in this collection of ACM columns from Jon Bentley. The similarity to the title of the major Perl book (which came later) is not completely accidental: Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley ISBN 978-0-201-65788-3 [2 edition, October 1999] More Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley ISBN 0-201-11889-0 [January 1988] A note on freshness Each version of Perl comes with the documentation that was current at the time of release. This poses a problem for content such as book lists. There are probably very nice books published after this list was included in your Perl release, and you can check the latest released version at http://perldoc.perl.org/perlbook.html . Some of the books we've listed appear almost ancient in internet scale, but we've included those books because they still describe the current way of doing things. Not everything in Perl changes every day. Many of the beginner-level books, too, go over basic features and techniques that are still valid today. In general though, we try to limit this list to books published in the past five years. Get your book listed If your Perl book isn't listed and you think it should be, let us know. perl v5.16.2 2012-10-25 PERLBOOK(1)
