hehe... You made me chuckle with that. Soooo.. the way you talk about shell scripting and C, you make it sound like it would be easy for a talented shell-scripter to learn C. Yeah?

I've never tried.
I will say this though: I've never been interested in perl. Blech. (Though, there were a few times I used it in my scripts to do something that bash just couldn't handle as simply.)

when i use perl it's faustian; the language is hideous but if you want to change text, well, let's just say that people go to whore houses for a reason and it ain't love.

Awww.. no kindle version?
I'm intrigued. I've never planned to learn C. Python, yes.. but not C. You've got me interested.

edit, on perl: LMAO.
edit again: Man.. I really wish there were kindle versions of those. I live in the middle east. Perhaps I can find that in a book store.

C is a very old language.
what is astonishing is how long it has remained almost entirely unchanged.
think for a moment how many pieces of software have that kind of longevity.

the unix book is on kindle.
kindle ed

but if you don't have the first one, it's not particularly useful.
