The Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide

An in-depth exploration of the art of shell scripting.

This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly towards an intermediate/advanced level of instruction ... all the while sneaking in little snippets of UNIX(R) wisdom and lore. It serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts.

This book is suitable for classroom use as a general introduction to programming concepts.

ripping and encoding DVD tool using mplayer and mencoder

AcidRip is a Gtk::Perl application for ripping and encoding DVD's. It neatly wraps MPlayer and MEncoder, which I think is pretty handy, seeing as MPlayer is by far the best bit of video playing kit around for Linux. As well as creating a simple Graphical Interface for those scared of getting down and dirty with MEncoders command line interface, It also automates the process in a number of ways:

HTML photo album generator with theme support

Album is a perl script that can create HTML photo albums for your directories of images. It supports themes that determine the visual appearance of the albums. Album creates thumbnails if necessary, and 'medium sized' versions of images for web viewing to avoid large downloads of original images. You can also customise your photo albums in many other ways.

This program doesn't require a web server to work. Once the HTML is generated, you can put it in your "www" directory.

Angband is a single-player, text-based, dungeon simulation derived from the game Moria, which was in turn based on Rogue. It is often described as a "roguelike" game because the look and feel of the game is still quite similar to Rogue.

Angband features many enhancements over Moria: unique foes, artifacts, monster pits and vaults to name a few. Many of these new creatures and objects are drawn from the writings of J.R.R Tolkien, although some of the monsters come straight from classical mythology, Dungeons & Dragons, Rolemaster, or the minds of the original Angband coders.

Angband is a reference to Morgoth's "prison of iron."
