Introduction to Advanced Bash Usage – James Pannacciulli @ OSCON 2014

Broad introduction to Bash features for users who want to go beyond simple command execution. Covered topics include builtins, keywords, functions, parameters (arguments, variables, arrays, special parameters), parameter expansion and manipulation, compound commands (loops, groups, conditionals), and brace expansion, with a special note about Bash session portability at the end!
