My twitter handle is @grymoire and I will gladly try to answer questions.
Note that I don't currently have a page on the bash shell because there is so much to cover. But the bash shell is a superset of the POSIX shell, so everything I have on this page applies to bash as well. Learn this first and get a gggood foundation on the basics that apply to nearly all shells.
Most of these tutorials were written from 1989 - to 1995 for The Sun Observer. But I have been keeping them up to date the best I can.
Over the years I strive to make the pages compliant with the validation engines.
