This comprehensive scripting guide empowers system administrators, developers, and power users to automate repetitive IT tasks across platforms using three major scripting languages: Bash, PowerShell, and Python. The book opens with foundational scripting concepts and showcases what you can accomplish with just ten lines of code. It continues with in-depth chapters on each language, emphasizing syntax, control structures, error handling, and modularity.
Readers will explore practical techniques for managing files, parsing text, utilizing regular expressions, and working with JSON, XML, and INI formats. The book dives into job automation with cron and Task Scheduler, secure communication via SSH, and scripting in professional environments with tools like Visual Studio Code and Git.
The final section applies scripting to real-world cases, including system backups, image processing, web scraping, API consumption, database interactions, cloud integration, and virtual machine automation. With this book, readers build a strong scripting toolkit to efficiently manage modern IT workflows.
