Shell scripting is the direct equivalent of BAT files on DOS. One
resource that looks decent is:

I'm partial to Python for little programs (those that are a step
higher than shell scripts). It is a *lot* easier than in Perl to
figure out what I intended to do when I have to modify the program six
months later. I tend to have two or three bouts of programming
annually, but then have to maintain those years later...

A good flavor for some common tasks can be found here:

Hope that helps.
