The beginning Bash class start with a demonstration of command-line editing and customizing the user environment. It then goes on to cover the following topics:

Input, Output, and Throughput (piping and redirection)
Flow Control (Looping and Branching)
Command-Line Parsing and Expansion
Parameters and Variables
Shell Functions
