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!
