This chapter looks at UNIX (and Linux) shell programming.
You may wonder why a chpapter on shell scripting is in a programming book. And you may not even read this line because your professor probably has cut this entire chapter out of the version used in your class.
There are actually several good reasons to include a chapter on shell scripting.
The chapter can serve as background material so that a student new to UNIX (or Linux or Mac OS X) will be able to make effective use of the shell for work on programming assignements.
There are actual classes in shell scipting, especially at junior colleges and community colleges.
This chapter goes beyond the typical material in a shell scripting class and presents material related to either downloading and compiling existing software (including ports to new hardware and/or operating systems) or for preparing your own software for release via the internet.

There is a temporary stoppage in work on this project because the author is once again homeless. This is a very worthy project that can benefit tens of millions of poor students at a very low cost (hundreds of dollars a month) and a banner ad for the sponsor could lead to millions of dollars of income. If a business is interested in supporting this project, please see project for details.

Because I no longer have the computer and software to make PDFs, the book is available as an HTML file, which you can convert into a PDF.

free computer programming text book projectBuilding a free downloadable text book on computer programming for university, college, community college, and high school classes in computer programming. If you like the idea of this project, At the time I write this message I am a few days from becoming homeless. That will greatly interfere with my ability to create this project, which can help nearly 20 million U.S. college students and more than 150 million students world-wide. I am looking for 30 rich people or corporations willing to donate $10 a month to my church so that the church can provide a place indoors for me to continue work. If you want to donate, please see help project. Thanks much. Supporting the entire project: If you have a business or organization that can support the entire cost of this project, please contact Pr Ntr Kmt (my church) free downloadable college text book on computer programming. |
