Most of it is about using Bash for scripting. The interactive part isn't
that big, and there are a zillion references in books and web pages
about basic things like wildcards and environment variables ($PATH
etc.), most of which aren't even specific to Bash. They're part of the
Unix culture and anyone who isn't at least aware of them is going to
have a hard time.
