Shell Programming!!!

[sunny]

Hi there,
Can any one help me by suggesting a site or two from where i can get some shell programming video tutorials...

[Twey]

Shell programming video tutorials? What on earth would be the point of that? It's all text anyway :-\

Also, which shell? bash? DOS? (t)csh? Monad?

[sunny]

See the following site,i just got 1 but it is a paid up site...
http://www.winstructor.com/videos/shellscripting.htm
can some one tell a free site.
or even pdf's can help!!!

Hmm.. winstructor.com. I assume that's DOS.

[boxxertrumps]

yup, batch files are MS only.

sunny, if I were you I'd abandon DOS, it's on its way out. The new big thing for shell scripting (as of Vista) is Microsoft's Monad (now known as PowerShell, apparently). It's a lot more powerful than DOS ever was, more along the lines of UNIX shells like bash and tcsh.
If you don't have Windows Vista, you can't use the PowerShell, but there's still not much point in starting to learn DOS at this point in history. You won't get much milage out of it.

It's like (counts fingers) 6 billion years old. :p

[Twey]

That's a lot of fingers you've got there, I'd say you must be a medical miracle :)

[mburt]

Nah, just extremely deformed. I can type at the speed of sound. :) (I'm joking, for some idiot who's reading this thread)

I can type at the speed of sound. :)
I think that is the ONLY situation where that is useful...
Prove me wrong. Hilarity shall ensue.

Where do you get the time to clip your nails !!! Lemme guess you have them seriously long and have become the samurai yet to be discovered !!!!! Be sure to polish and sharpen them EVERY DAY...

Sorry, I had to take advantage for some laughter :p

You won't get much milage out of it.
mileage :p check dictionary :) fyi :D

[Twey]

Hm, some dictionaries have both, some only have "mileage." "Mileage" seems to be more widely accepted, I'll use that in future.
