The advanced bash scripting guide will be equally valid nowadays as it was |
13 |
when it was first written. A few minor edges have changed in bash in the |
14 |
latest times, but you are unlikely to get touched by these unless you are |
15 |
using some rare feature. After all, bash is compatible with the original |
16 |
bourne shell to a big extent, and that part of its behavior never changes. |

If you truly want to learn bash, I say go for it and come back when/if you |
19 |
have some problem. |
