I recently decided to switch from tcsh to bash, given that bash is now the default OS X shell, I figured it was time to cut over and learn something new. But as an occasional user of tcsh, the differences in cutting over to bash were enough to frustrate me ... until Kirk M. pointed me to Chet Ramey and Brian Fox's excellent (and free) Bash Reference Manual. You can purchase this book in stores, or download a free version from the publisher's site.
Although I've only had time to work through a couple of chapters, and then jump around to various bits I wanted to work on (prompts and aliases), I've found it to be well written and relatively easy to follow. I still have a long way to go in my personal cutover to bash, but this book is definitely helping to ease the way...
