Book DescriptionEmbark on a comprehensive journey through command shells with this hands-on manual. While Bash is a Linux staple, Z shell and PowerShell are rising stars, applicable to Linux, macOS, and Unix. Progress seamlessly through chapters, each building on the last, creating a solid foundation. Learn through a unique approach: concepts, examples, and interactive labs. These labs, nearly a hundred strong, form the core of experiential learning, essential for script creation.

Focusing on Linux commands and their scripting applications, this manual is universally relevant across Linux and select Unix-like systems. It goes beyond theory, offering practical scripts for real-world Linux administration. Scripts are designed for manageability, aiding learning and troubleshooting. The goal is to nurture the ability to craft intelligent, functional shell scripts.

While centered on Bash, this book offers a peek into the future with Z Shell and PowerShell, expanding your skills and adaptability. This book is systematically structured and engaging so that it will guide you to master command shells, equipping you for real-world Linux challenges.What you will learn

Grasp the concept of shells and explore their diverse types for varied system interactions
Master redirection, pipes, and compound commands for efficient shell operations
Leverage text stream filters within scripts for dynamic data manipulation
Harness functions and build libraries to create modular and reusable shell scripts

Who this book is forThis book is for programmers who use the command line on Unix and Linux servers already, but don't write primarily in Bash. This book is ideal for programmers who've been using a scripting language such as Python, JavaScript or PHP, and would like to understand and use Bash more effectively. It’s also great for beginning programmers, who want to learn programming concepts.
