(Our speaker has supplied the following)

 

  bash (and scripting languages in general) act as the glue that

  holds other system components together.  This presentation will

  focus on the underutilized features of bash that are critical to

  building production quality scripts, Demos will show you how and

  why to turn these features on.

 

  Turning these features on should be considered a requirement much

  like turning on strict and warnings are considered a requirement

  for Perl.

 

  Much of the bash syntax is redundant; I will also explain which

  syntax to use and which syntax to avoid.

 

  Knowledge of any of the common UNIX scripting languages will be

  sufficient to attend this meeting.  Scripters at all proficiency

  levels will get value from attending this presentation.

 

  [Michael has been working in the I.T. industry since 1989 when he

  switched from programming automotive embedded systems.

 

  He recently moved his mainframe rehosting business, Replatform

  Technologies, LLC, from Chicago to Atlanta.]

Description of the Group 

Log of past and future meetings (and handouts)

Prior to the meeting, there will be an informal, non-structured
"guru" session open to anyone wishing to attend.  This will start
around 6:45pm in the meeting room, and we will have one or
more gurus available to discuss whatever topics/problems/questions
the attendees care to bring up.

For those who need some sustenance before the meeting, you will

find kindred AUUG spirits at "Sweet Tomatoes" restaurant in front of

the Costco store (6350 Peachtree Dunwoody Road) at the turnoff from

Peachtree-Dunwoody Road to the Mirant building. Drop in any time

after 5:30pm to sit around and chew the fat and indulge in some of

their fine cuisine.  This is a chance for folks to get together and

exchange rumors, ideas, assistance, etc.
