- Wikipedia Entry on Bourne Shell
- Local mirror of Steve Bourne's Introduction to the Unix Shell - written by the great man himself.
- ooblick - another good tutorial.
- Shelldorado - and another one.
- quoting-guide.html - a pretty definitive document on quoting and escape characters.
- What to watch out for when writing portable shell scripts
- ss64.com have a great list of commands, with links to man pages for most of them.
- See also The Rosetta Stone for Unix.
- Amazon have a good number of books on the Unix Shell - As a general rule, I'd go for (say) O'Reilly books (Addison-Wesley tend to be pretty good, too) in preference to the "in 24 hours" or "for dummies" books - in my experience these tend to be rather glib and just rush you through the basics, without the real information you actually need. Of course, you can also buy this tutorial as a PDF.
- lintsh has a lot of useful information about script portability.
