What is Bash

BASH, the Bourne Again SHell, is an Unix Shell and command language that reads from the standard input or from a file. Bash allows you to interact with your filesystem and run scripts through your command line / terminal. This tutorial will focus on learning the basics of Bash as a language, as well as it's application in doing batch processing.
