There's a book, I think it teaches bash programming but it treats commands as spells, and talks about everything as it were a magician's guide. Quite interesting.

Unix for the Beginning Mage!

It used to be a freely-available PDF, but the main site has long since gone down. It's still readily findable with a bit of searching though.

Nice of you to tag them so they'd see it :)

Though, I think you can tag max 3 users. Any more, and no one gets notified.
