Learning the Korn Shell Review by FPavli01
Learning the Korn Shell (2nd Edition)
This book is excellent for beginner-intermediate users. I did not have any experience with Unix scripts prior to this book, after finishing it I came away with a very good understanding of the Korn Shell.
Book is well written and covers the basics: command line editing, setting up your environment, up to process handling and debugging. One flaw of the book is that there is not enough examples. Also many of the examples later on in the book are built based on examples from previous chapters. While that is good for a learning exercise it does not give you a direct, simple example you may require.
Overall I would definitely recommend this book, I still use this as a reference at work.
