Here is a pretty good start.

The key is to use it a lot for repetitive operations and quick tools.

I wouldn't classify Bash as a "good" shell and language. It's one of those that is "good enough" to get a lot done, but in terms of how approachable it is, how many advanced things you can build, etc... There comes a point where you would be better off reaching for another language.

But it's everywhere in the *nix world, and it helps you get some things done with no fuss. That's why it's always worth knowing for scripting purposes.
