dash is what many Linux distros use as their default /bin/sh-shell, because it is very small and so executes small and simple shell scripts quickly. Being able to write dash-conform shell scripts means these will work for many distributions and even most UNIX-derivatives and this can be considered a core skill for everyone who works with Linux and UNIX systems.

busybox is less of a shell, but an entire collection of commands included in a shell-like environment. It is found on many embedded systems as a replacement for a full shell and other executables because it packs many of these into a single executable to save space. Although it makes for a very sparse shell environment does know busybox mean one can find their way quickly and easily around on even the smallest of computer systems and it is worth knowing about.
