Another few people might like are Daniel Robbins' articles from IBM
developerworks:

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/bash.html?dwzone=linux
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/bash2.html?dwzone=linux
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/bash3.html?dwzone=linux

He has some decent articles on sed, awk and other useful things too.
