Subject: Advanced Bash Scripting Guide: version 4.0 (major) update

Announcing the version 4.0 release of the "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide."
This e-book tutorial and reference is the equivalent of a 700-page
print book.  With 321 illustrative examples (including such goodies as an
anti-spammer script), the book covers virtually every aspect of scripting.

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


The author invites comparisons with *any* commercially printed book 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

         This means the book is *free* and freely distributable.
