Hi,

I am wondering if any one can recommend a simple yet applicable tutorial for learning bash to be used for doing bioinformatics. The reason I am asking here is that there are so many tutorials out there and to my opinion some of them are too much and some are not targeting my needs, since many are written for developers and advanced users. So please let me know if you know good ones!

Cheers,  
Parham
As a [Software Carpentry][1] (and Data Carpentry) instructor, I would recommend the [Introduction to the Shell tutorial materials][2] in the [lesson material][3]. Once you are comfortable with those tutorials, [Data Carpentry is developing Shell tutorials specifically for bioinformatics][4].

There are a ton of other resources out there for more specific questions... Best of luck!
