Here are a few more resources I've found helpful: - The Linux Command Line (http://billie66.github.io/TLCL/) - Bash Reference Manual (https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bashref.html) - Explain Shell (http://explainshell.com/)

@user3 The Linux Command Line is one of my go-to resources as well!

The Bash beginner's guide is definitely where I started! I've since found the Advanced Bash-Scripting guide to be very helpful as well.

Another tool that might be helpful for learning is the Bash debugger (http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/) which allows you to step through and debug your code.

I've also found it helpful to practice writing Bash scripts by automating repetitive tasks on my personal machine, this way I can get a feel for how Bash works in a real-world context.

I would also recommend looking into books like 'Classic Shell Scripting' and 'Learning the bash Shell' if you haven't already.
