Not for Administrators in a Corporate environment,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Windows XP: Command Line (Paperback)
If your need is a "classroom in a book" on basic command line operation - then this book may be for you as it is filled with examples and labs (although $... is a bit steep for the privilege). However, administrators in corporate environments will find the book too simplistic for their needs.

This review is from: Windows XP: Command Line (Paperback)
This book is easy to follow. It will help you get a feel for MS DOS, it is for the true beginner of DOS. It is not for the seasoned DOS expert, cause it is too simple. I was a true beginner at DOS, used this book for an independent "command line" class at college. Do not let the colorless text fool you.
While not "pretty" like other books, it has some good knowledge to be had. I had much success with it. This book has one huge drawback - As you go thru the exercises, altering files, moving files to other directories, and so forth, each chapter depends on what you did in the previous one. If you mess up bad enough and do not have a backup of your work, you will get into a mess. You HAVE to go thru this book in sequence for things to work right. Take all instructions and warnings serious. Be careful with what you learn tho, and heed the authors warnings, cause thru DOS, it is easy to wipe out tons of files on any drive with a few simple keystrokes. You will "know enough to get into trouble" with certain things. NEVER experiment with DELETE commands (DEL) while on your hard drive if you are not sure what you are doing.

This review is from: Windows XP: Command Line (Paperback)
I took the class, was very impressed with the class, the book, and its contents.Altough it is written for XP Pro, it was a great help in understanding, and using XP Home. I keep it nearby to refresh points that arise, that I do not use often. To me it was well worth the investment.
