Sorry, but RTFM :)
I learnt how to shell from the manpages to bash, sed and other
textutils. Man, that sounds pretentious.
Anyway, if you have a specific thing in mind, flicking thru the manpages
for each component is good. Learning the whole of shell without a goal
is going to be tough to remember the specifics.
And if you ever get really stuck, someone on this list can give you a
few[1] bytes of shell script to do what you want :)
