Last year I taught a course about bash scripting, during which I briefly touched on the scripting language awk. Some of the attending people wanted to hear more about this, so I was asked by my graduate school to prepare a short block course on awk programming for this year.

The course will be running from 15th till 17th August 2016 and registration is now open. You can find an outline and further information on the "Introduction to awk" course page. If you cannot make the course in person, do not worry: All course material will be published both on the course website and on github afterwards.
