I just finished such a class at a local community college. We used
"Unix Shell Programming" by Kochan & Wood. It's "so-so". One local
sysad in my local LUG suggested "Linux in a Nutshell" by O'Reilly as
being somewhat better. I would be inclined to agree with him.
Man grep, sed, awk, sort, ls, cut, cat (and so on) are your friends
even though they are hardly great literature.
