	While some may tire of me always suggesting the same thing, I still
recommend, "The UNIX Programming Environment" by Kernighan and Pike. 
It's old, but many Borders and B&N have it on their shelves.  It takes
you through shell scripting through C development using standard I/O,
through yacc and lex.  I highly recommend it!
