UNIX: A Textbook assumes that the reader has no background in UNIX. It carefully blends important UNIX concepts, like inter-process communication and I/O redirection, with shell commands to enhance understanding of both. Chapters are organized so readers focus on a small set of related topics. The book begins by providing a "UNIX Quick Start" for readers who want to immediately start using the book as a reference and begin working with UNIX. Then, the book tours the UNIX application interface, guiding readers through operating system utilities. The second edition of this book also includes additional coverage of UNIX software development tools. This book is designed for operating system programmers who want to familiarize themselves with the UNIX environment. Knowledge of OS concepts is needed for this book, but no prior knowledge or experience of UNIX itself is required.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The Best !!,
By Wayne (NE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: UNIX: The Textbook (Paperback)
I have been teaching UNIX for over 15 years. I have used many introductory books but this is by far the best. The authors seem gifted with the ability to explain difficult topics with ease. Some of the salient features of the book that I particularly like are: I look forward to more introductory books on computer science by the author team.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the finest UNIX textbooks,
By Dave Hacker "dh" (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Unix: The Textbook (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Another excellent book by the author team. I have used and taught UNIX and LINUX for over a decade and this is arguably the bext UNIX textbook for entry- and intermediate-level users. A lot of new material has been added in the second edition that makes the book current and much more interesting. The writing style is lucid and examples that work. For a change, this book contains shell scripts that actually work! One of the rare books that elegantly combines operating system concepts with UNIX examples. Simply a first-rate book. I give it two thumbs up and look forward to more books by the author team.
