Shell scripting registration closes soon... Want in?

Yes. Yes, I do want in to this class. I have zero understanding how I would use shell scripting in my daily technical writing duties, but I still want to learn. However, I took a class about Drupal this summer and have yet to use the information I learned in that class at work either - and work paid for me to take the class! I hope that I find out what I am going to do with my Drupal knowledge prior to forgetting my Drupal knowledge!

In any case, learning shell scripting would be awesome. I am likely to look at the resources that are presently available to me to ascertain whether there is already shell scripting classes I could take.
