People of Unix-like environments can be summarized into two (three) categories: users, writers, developers. If you want to make part of this software society you need to have a bit of merit on software.
Below is the education path of software that each of these persons need to know about, each from the beginning to the end, to be a Unix-like person:
[power-user]
man info grep cut find tr sed bash awk
[lambda-user]
man info lisp emacs
[translation-writer]
man info git emacs/vim gettext
[document-writer]
man info emacs/vim git texinfo
[c-developer]
man info intro-to-gcc make autoconf+automake+autoheader+libtool c
[wizard-developer]
man info forth
Choose which Unix person you want to be, and welcome :-) . I am sure you will have a good time.
