5.0 out of 5 stars
My favorite UNIX book!,
By
This review is from: Your UNIX: The Ultimate Guide (Paperback)
This book is very easy to read and understand. Every section clearly explains the topic and offers plenty of fully explained examples. I find this book an excellent reference for the basics of using the command line, shell scripting, sed and awk. Unlike most textbooks, this will not bore you with heaps of theory--you can use it as a tutorial and to try out the examples as you read. I use linux daily and find almost everything in the book applicable.

This Book Saved My Ass,
By Sumo Wrestler (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Your UNIX: The Ultimate Guide (Paperback)
(Opps, can I use that word here ?). This is the only book you need for a beginner's to itermediate course. I have a degree in Mathematics plus C and VB programming background plus tones of work experience, but was devestated with "Distributed Computing" (UNIX) tutors, who simply forgot to do a "Train the Trainer" course before accepting the job offer! Anyway, this excellant book has the following strengh: (1) Covering almost all topics even the more obsure unix usage like XARG stuff (2) Appropriate lay-out for easy study & referene (3) concise but just enough details of explanation with PRECISION, so it takes guess work out of your study. I have been buying books from Amazon for years, but this is the first review I wrote, 'cause I owe it to the author !! Hay sumitabha, are you gonna write any other books on C++, c#.net, VB.net, or Java ?

Excellent for Teaching at the Undergraduate Level,
By College Professor (Tougaloo, MS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Your UNIX: The Ultimate Guide (Paperback)
As a former Bell Labs Engineer, I have tasted most of the flavors of Unix. As a computer science professor for 18 years, this is the best book that I have used. The Self-test and exercises gives the user a structured approach to learning Unix, which doesn't always happen in the Unix world. The examples in the text are easy to interpret and the author provides several variations of the commands. The book has an extra bonus with the perl, system administration and TCP/IP sections.
