I'm a big fan of the 'little' series of books, so I was excited to get my copy of The Little Learner. And boy oh boy, it's a thick-o.

One of the many great tips at this article at howardism.org is to remember to use keep-lines/flush-lines instead of grep. One of the great features of eshell is ability to redirect output to a buffer.
