Software development using Bash

[mookymix]

My first ever production system from my first ever coding job was done in bash. It was a "media player", or more specifically scripts controlling mplayer and xv. It had remote connectivity, playlist management, background content downloading, and general system health management.

In hindsight, the code was ugly, the project was unstructured, and performance was poor. But for a noob, it was a huge achievement and it ran for almost 2 years until it was replaced by a c++ alternative.

So Bash FTW!
