I don't know anything about zsh, but I have just recently stumbled
on a great book(freely downloadable as a 2meg, 600+ page .pdf)
Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, by Mendel Cooper
I think of it as a very learned sequel to the O'Reilly "Learning
the bash shell".
A little cuteness I learned from the very first pages: try
echo $(( 2#101011 )) and then echo $(( 3#1202 ))
! Before you try the above two commands, do you know beforehand what the
responses will be? If you do, you have bragging rights as a
shell guru IMHO.
Enjoy! and Happy New Year!
