- While the ksh book by Korn is the *specification* of the KornShell language,
- the book that really helps the most (IMO) is:
-
- KornShell Programming Tutorial
- by Barry Rosenberg
-
- a Hewlett-Packard Press book # 5010-7152
-
- published by Addison Wesley
- ISBN 0-201-56324-X
-
- This book is about 50% examples. Don't let the word "Tutorial" in the title
- scare you into thinking it's too simple a book. I did for awhile, and now
- regret the lost time. There's very little tutorializing going on, just
- example after example.
-
- Check it out.
