Seatbelts and Airbags for bash

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.
