Hello was wondering if anyone has any good recommendations on sources for learning to bash script. I already have quite a lot of Linux experience just want to expand to making more scripts.

Great books
A super well done reference is hard to come by, but I've had decent luck googling specific things (ie bash for loop). If you know the nomenclature there's usually a well-done stackexchange post in the first google page.
Also, comment your scripts! My scripts are more comments and notes about the different options than anything else, since I might not look at them for a year and when I do, there's usually some emergency, heh. Particularly when you use sed and awk and stuff like that, the syntax is horrid.
