So much good here

There's a lot to love about this book, the way it helps the reader / programmer navigate the differences in the the different shell scripting settings.

There's a lot to be desired, too. I too often felt the author believed I was an old hand at shell scripting, and he was offering some shortcuts.

Why not assume I was a novice? Sure, some shell scripters would have howled; so what? Better too much exposition than not enough. I'd have appreciated more explanation of some of the tasks the author was accomplishing.

Not bad, but could have been better.
