5.0 out of 5 stars
Clearly written, excellent hands-on learning tool!,
By A Customer
This review is from: UNIX Shell Programmer's Interactive Workbook (Paperback)
The Interactive Workbook is a great idea. So many computer books are VERY dry. Hands-on is, of course, the best way to learn. This is a great learning tool. Also, it serves as a great reference for later use. I truly recommend it!

Not up to the mark,
By A Customer
This review is from: UNIX Shell Programmer's Interactive Workbook (Paperback)
Big font,much bigger than needed. Does not cover the concepts in detail. The examples are boring.It's very difficult to move to the next page. There are much better books out there.

It Could be Better,
By
This review is from: UNIX Shell Programmer's Interactive Workbook (Paperback)
The interactive workbook is a good idea. But it seems the author went out of his way to make this as dull as possible. 90 % of the book is about functions with basically the same examples again and again. It's boring and dry. A week after I bought it I put it on my shelf and it's now collecting dust.
