Your shell script works, but does it also feel professional? Master the next step! You've mastered the basics of shell scripting. Your scripts do their job. But you sense there's still a gap. Your scripts are often confusing, break when unexpected errors occur, store passwords in plain text, or become painfully slow as the amount of data grows. They work, but they're not robust, secure, or performant. If you recognize yourself here, then this book is your personal mentor on the path from skilled craftsman to sophisticated architect of automation solutions. It's not another reference book of the basics, but an intensive training manual that teaches you the mindset and techniques of the pros. Transform your scripts from fragile little helpers into bulletproof tools! This book goes far beyond simple command chains. You'll learn how to design your scripts to function reliably even under real, chaotic conditions. This book is aimed at system administrators, DevOps engineers, developers, and power users who already have a solid foundation in shell scripting (e.g., through the first volume) and now want to take the decisive step toward mastery. It's for anyone who wants to create not just functional, but excellent, maintainable, and secure automation solutions.
