Good for an introduction and for future consults

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 23, 2007

Verified Purchase

The author makes a great effort to teach UNIX and get the reader using it as fast as possible, but it does care for allowing the reader to progress without throwing much and unecessary information at once.

One of the comments that I did like about this book came from a reviewer here that said that in a few months you will know UNIX commands well enough to help other users.

I am sure that the book was aimed to be simply introductory but my only bad comments go for the chapters that teach shell programming, which should have been avoided as they are not either complete or good enough to put you start coding on it. But they are ok for future consults as references.

But overall, I recommend for people that have never used UNIX before and want to use it fast. Also, it is at my desk as a quick reference.

starts with the basics, with room to grow

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 20, 2011

Verified Purchase

I didn't really have much experience with unix before I got this book (although I had dabbled a little), and this book was a good introduction and contained enough depth for me to grow. A problem I find with many books is that the 'introduction' type books are often too basic (even if I do learn from them, they don't offer enough beyond the most basic stuff, and I end up knowing 'recipes' for doing specific things, more than a working knowledge of a given subject) and the more advanced ones often assume too much background knowledge, making it frustrating and slow to read. This one, however, was a good balance of introductory overview and detailed description that I could learn something with solid depth, and when I got used to it I could go back and reread the more advanced details. Even for beginners, I think this book is easy enough to learn the basics and offers a lot of room to grow as your experience improves.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2001

I have been doing computer programming from six years. I have been most of the time a windows and GUI guy. But lately I have been using Unix extensively.I bought this book 8 months back and I cant thank the authors and SAMs enough for this great book.
The title might sound silly, but the essence is 'Unix in 24, one hour sessions'. Unix can be very intimidating for a beginner. You dont even know what to learn. In my case, this book helped a lot.
Highlight of this book is its chapter on vi editor. It is the best example and tutorial on vi I have ever seen. As you go through vi features along with the author, you will get a sense of purpose and orientation for each and every command in vi. The first chapter tells us the history of unix and different flavours of unix. From there the every important feature is explained in simple, concise manner. Telnet, ftp, c shell, basic shell programming, file ownership and permissions etc are explained very well.
The only draw back is a missing command reference. The book has a quick one page command reference at the beginning of the book, which you can tear out. But for a regular programmer, this is not enough. For reference, I have supplemented this book with 'Unix Complete'.
Anyway, at [price] this book is all worth it. This book is going to be with be forever.
