(Our speaker has supplied the

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.
