Great article and series!
One more thing, regarding command substitution, I've always used the older form of `command` but I've discovered that created problems when writing documents in Markdown, since the ticks are used to denote code, like:
`# ls -l`
So, switching to the newer form of $(command) resolves this formatting conflict.
