Pro Bash Programming, Second Edition: Scripting the GNU/Linux Shell

There were mixed and even outright negative reviews on this book.They probably bought this book with with different expectations. Several comments on this:1. This book is not for newbies to programming. You should have tried to write scripts before in your life (whether it was Bash, Perl, Python). The title already tells you: PRO Bash Programming.2. This is not a book full of examples. One example is given and that is it.If one is in need of a book full of examples: the writer has written another book called: Shell Scripting Recipes.3. The writer is an experienced programmer and it shows. His purpose it to lead you by the hand from one topic to the next. That means that if you are looking for a quick overview of Bash, then this book is not for you.4. All the finer details of Bash are mentioned. And because everything is mentioned only once, you need to pay attention.So, for whom is this book meant? For those in need of an experienced programmer that teaches them all. I am such a person and I am therefore very satisfied with this book.
