Overview:

zsh is a shell designed for interactive use, although it is also a powerful
scripting language. Many of the useful features of bash, ksh, and tcsh were
incorporated into zsh; many original features were added. Attesting to the sheer
size of this shell is the famous first sentence of the shell’s manual page,
which reads “Because zsh contains many features, the zsh manual has been split
into a number of sections” (of which there are seventeen). Covered topics
(hopefully) include file globbing, .zshrc, functions/aliasing, directory stacks,
command/parameter substitution, history manipulation, keybindings, and changing
prompt symbols (whew!), as well as perhaps some of the history of zsh.

Hope to see you there!
