Article Synopsis

Just for the record, this is still the Mac in the Shell column. Meaning, I'll be focusing on how to learn about shell tools. There is certainly an uptick in the need for people that have shell and scripting skills, and that's what I'll be guiding people through getting some traction on. Luckily for you, you're not the first to travel this path. There are plenty of resources out there for you to learn from. The sticking point usually is your learning style. While some prefer just to dive in, other like reading at length first and others learn best in a classroom environment. This is critical: make sure you match how you learn best with the method of learning.
