BASH Scripting: http://www.faqs.org/docs/abs/HTML/

Thats easily the best resource out there aside from maybe BASH in a Nutshell by Oreilly publishing.

For Linux development, what kind of development are we talking? GUI programs or do you want to do some lower level system utilities like working on the linux kernel or developing on something like the core utilities?

Also what language you want to work in is relevant. Python is a good start if you're not yet a strong and/or comfortable programmer on linux.

My recommendation if you really want to get into the system deep down then look at "The Unix Programming Environment" by Kernighan and Pike. Something you should have to accompany that is [B]"The C Programming Language" - Kernighan & Ritchie[B].

For python, there's tons of books online, but the free one that really gets you into working with it that I recommend is Dive Into Python (http://www.diveintopython.org/).

Hope that helps, feel free to message me if you need any help.

If you are not already a programmer, which is the intended audience of Dive Into Python, you can more tutorials and books for Python on my wiki. http://laroza.pbwiki.com/Python

Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment - Richard Stevens is an excellent book.

You might also want to take a look at "Linux Programming Unleashed" - by Kurt Wall and others
