Where to learn unix script programming?

i just started this great job at BMC software in Houston as a Software test Engineer, it has been a cake walk so far, now i am required to test some unix Scripts, running the scripts is not bad, actually that is all i am supposed to do, but i also want to understand the code and may be become a developer in the future, i am afraid to ask my co workers or my Manager to explain it to me, or they would think they hired a moron, HELP, is there a book on this or an internet site.

Where to learn unix script programming?
It really depends on what shell the scripts are written for. The first line of most shell scripts will usually be


#!/usr/bin/{shell name}


where shell name will be something like bash or csh.





Do a search for that on your favorite search engine and you should find a lot of sites, you should also be able to run the command : "man {shell name}" to get a lot of info as well, but some of it may be pretty technical.
