Completely agree. I was absolutely blown away at how much I loved this book. I sat down to read it and ending up losing 4 hours to it!

The book inspired me to build a little course on Awk to (hopefully) share the love: https://github.com/FreedomBen/awk-hack-the-planet.

I gave that course as a talk at Linux Fest Northwest in 2019 and then again in 2020 due to popularity. When Covid hit I recorded videos and put them on Youtube. There are links in the Github page above if you want to watch them.

I wasn't intending to self plug, but I guess it does feel relevant :-)

A good plug is always welcome. Especially when you have donated your time to create something useful and put it on Github for everyone else to benefit from.

Thanks!
