The SIPB has some other offerings which may be of shell-scripting
interest. These ones occur after this class:
- Caffeinated Perl covers
Perl, the Swiss army knife sawzall ratchet jackhammer of scripting, in
much more detail.
- Practical Scheme
mentions shell scripting in its description—I don't even know
what to expect.
This class is sponsored by the
SIPB.
