The abs-guide assumes no prior knowledge of scripting or programming while quickly progressing toward an intermediate/advanced level of education… all while slipping in little pearls of UNIX® wisdom and lore. It is a textbook, a self-study handbook, and a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily annotated examples encourage active reader engagement, with the assumption that writing scripts is the only way to truly understand scripting.
