Topic Proposal: Seat Belts and Airbags for bash

[Michael Potter]

Polyglot crew,

I have a good presentation for the polyglots:
Seat Belts and Airbags for bash

I gave this presentation to the polyglots in the burbs some time ago.
At that time the name was Robust shell scripting using bash 3.x.

I show you a few simple rules and switches that will dramatically
improve the reliability of your bash code. The presentation appeals
to a seasoned script writer and to the person who just writes 20 line
scripts.

Let me know if you want to schedule it for polyglots downtown.

I've heard this talk from Potter before, and it's a good one. I'm
certainly no bash expert, so it was very informative. I've used what
he talked about in my production shell scripts ever since.

xoxo,
Andy

Andy's comments after my talk in Wheaton were the inspiration for the
presentation name change.

Sounds fine to me. Haven't programmed seriously in shell in like 15
years, so it will be good to refresh.
