Completely agree. I was absolutely blown away at how much I loved this book. I sat down to read it and ending up losing 4 hours to it!

The book inspired me to build a little course on Awk to (hopefully) share the love: https://github.com/FreedomBen/awk-hack-the-planet.

I gave that course as a talk at Linux Fest Northwest in 2019 and then again in 2020 due to popularity. When Covid hit I recorded videos and put them on Youtube. There are links in the Github page above if you want to watch them.

I wasn't intending to self plug, but I guess it does feel relevant :-)




A good plug is always welcome. Especially when you have donated your time to create something useful and put it on Github for everyone else to benefit from.

Thanks!


Plug away! Thanks for the weekend reading!
