I'll just continue with bash before I start with anything else since I
just recently started playing around with bash. Thanks for all the
responses about my question.
Also Happy New year to everyone on the list and best wishes for 2017 :)

Yeah, I was going to suggest this too..... Your biggest thing will be
shell scripts - they hold everything together.
There's not much that you can't do in bash - but there are a lot more
things that are much more complex / dedicated that you'd be better off
in a language like perl.
The big thing is learning how to think in logical steps. When to use
if,
for, while etc etc. Once you've got a grip on the basics, the only real
difference between languages is what specific formatting you give to
the
options to keep its compiler happy.
bash is something you'll use every day - so its probably easy to deal
with from the start.
