Learning BASH in 2022. Books 2003 fit?
My hands got to the Linux console, I worked with this console and I liked it so much that I wanted to learn the bash language. Having searched the Internet for information, I very often come across manuals from 2003-2006. So the question is: Has this language changed so much that the 2003 books are no longer suitable for learning the language?
The book "Advanced Bash Scripting", the only translation that I found - 2003 production. (In principle, I could read in English, but it is better absorbed in Russian)
If not, could you recommend other books or give a link to a reprint?
