hello i have looked at the FAQ in Macports and in the wiki and have yet to see any prerequisites for a persons knowledge base and that persons ability to work with the Bash command line or conditional programming. In the last few years while i have self taught in the http document mark up and dynamic aspects in PHP, MySQL, and some Javascript i have come to see a lot of screaming "help me" in forums as well as a lot of miss leading dog`y do. I have a few books in the Mac area of Unix, but i see it all boils down to the shell. either bash or korn or any other that i cannot remember at this time of writing. I have found the GNU web page http://www.gnu.org/s/bash/manual/bash.html and i am studying that.
So if there were any prerequisites written some where in relationship to the Macports project would those prerequisites boil down to being comfortable with simple commands and complex commands using a host of predefined command line characters in conjunction with supporting options and any and all of the characters and their pre defined uses. Thank you ps, do you have any, 'good' book references.
