This repo is based on a book titled: Exercises for Programmers: 57 challenges to Develop Your Coding Skills by Brian P. Hogan, edited by Susannah Davidson Pfalzer.
The book can be downloaded here.
"This book is all about practicing your craft as a programmer. Flip to a page in this book, crack open your text editor, and hammer out the program. Make your own variations on it. Do it in a language you’ve never used before. And get better and better each time you do it."
Below is a list of programs built while learning Bash Shell Scripting

I qoute some of the most motivational statements I've ever read:
"The best software developers I’ve ever met approach their craft the same way. They don’t go to work every day and practice on the employer’s dime. They invest personal time in learning new languages and perfecting techniques in others. Of course they learn new things on the job, but because they’re getting paid, there’s an expectation that they are there to perform, not practice."
Most important of all...
"But that’s the real value of these exercises; they’ll help you learn a language and how that language is different from what you already know."
