    If you're looking to get into Awk, and you learn well from a lecture style, I put together a talk for Linux Fest Northwest some years ago and recorded it for Youtube: https://youtu.be/E5aQxIdjT0M

    Re awk (which equally has its r/awk), the combination of presentation, exercise and GitHub repo of training data by Benjamin Porter is a nice resource, too.

    For people that know Ruby, if you haven't explored Ruby's CLI abilities, you definitely, definitely should. When I was building my (free and open source) awk course[1] I fell in love with awk. When I later found out that Ruby has some of the same features, it changed my life: I

    Kind of a shameless plug, but you mentioned wanting to get better at Awk. I had that same desire and created a small course based on what I learned. The course got great feedback.

    There is a video presentation, and a set of "challenges" you can use to incrementally get more complex with awk, starting from super simple.

    The challenges repo is on github here: https://github.com/FreedomBen/awk-hack-the-planet

    If you want to watch the videos, there are links in the github repo but for convenience:
