Bash is an essential tool that is often overlooked since it is most often the vehicle for running other code. I received a free copy of the video "Great Bash" as a part of the O'Reilly blogger review program and here is my take on it.
This was an easy to follow, yet comprehensive BASH scripting tutorial with a wealth of information not easily found in other tutorials I've looked at. Couple that with the screencast format and you have a winner. My initial review of this product was that it was incomplete and overpriced. It turns out that I only had a quarter of the material since it was still being produced. Now that I have all of the material I can safely say that it is well worth the price. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for an easy way to beef up their BASH skills. There were a couple of screencast blunders where the title of a segment said something about "Great Javascript" instead of "Great Bash" but the content itself was intact and on target.
