Hi:

...along with a simple overview of some of the standard shells:

The Posix, Korn and Bash shell are cousins of each other.

Get some good books

Bash is but one shell, best to get a good book on SHELL programming.

Try to find these:

I see these as manditory for the NOOB.
Unix Shell Programming - Arthur Burns
Unix Shell Programming - Kochan and Wood

Sed/Awk 2nd Ed. OReilly Press

I've had both of these books since the mid 90s' and truthfully as far as shell programming they remain ON my desk on a daily basis.

"becoming an expert" now that is another thing. I generally try to write things that I can and when I run into a snag, I run it past one of the gurus here for review of what I've hacked together.

If you understand the basics of programming shell programming isn't going to be a problem.. If you don't understand the concepts of first in, first out in terms of Unix, understand the script as nothing more than reducing multiple command line commands to a single command.
