Sams Teach Yourself Shell Programming in 24 Hours is a tutorial aimed at making the UNIX and Linux user more effective and productive users of the operating system. It does this by showing them how to take control of their systems by harnessing the power of the shell. The vast majority of users utilize either the Korn shell or some variation of the Bourne shell. This book will cover both of these. It will begin with a more generalized tutorial of shell programming and then move into the specifics of each of the shells. It covers everything from managing input/output, creating and utilizing variables, to customizing their shell.

Verified Purchase

the author does a good job to demonstrate the basic on how to write shell scripts. The book contains useful tips and examples (real life problems you may face in your daily job), but keep on mind you'll need more advanced material to master UNIX shell scripts. ...

Too many typos

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 19, 2001

its abit surprise for me no one ever pointed out the amount of typos in the book. i found many typos esp. from the chapter 12 in both explanations and examples. well... no complex examples are presented in the book so you may easily correct the errors but, it is not something i expected from the 5 star rated book from many guys. so i give it 2 stars to be fair. you are gonna end up spending extra times to correct the errors.

Impressed

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 13, 2002

This is probably one of the best books by Sams that I've read. If you want to start shell programming, you've picked up the perfect book, even if you're new to Unix. It starts off by first getting you familiar with the basic Unix commands: ls, pwd, cp, mv, cat, etc. and telling you the basics of Unix and Shells. Then it goes over file systems and modifying attributes. Later when you're comfortable, it holds your hand through the shell programming syntax, logic, substititution, regular expressions, and essential tools such as awk and sed. This book contains other gems and snippets that have helped me through many projects. Overall good buy.

Good tutorial to learn and practice shell programming.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 25, 2001

In addition to clearly explaining the syntax and semantics of shell programming constructs, this book has useful coverage on UNIX process prioritization concepts, awk and sed. Other than lacking a few issues like possibilities of global shell variable substitution inside regular expressions of AWK and SED patterns, I found this book real value for money. It was easy to understand and practice on my Linux system.

Great step by step book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 23, 2001

This book does an excellent job at walking you through step-by-step some of the main features of unix and then the basics on how to write shell scripts. I already had a basic knowledge before reading this book, but my understanding is much better now. Very concice...gives decent examples of topics.

Excellent Introduction and Refernce

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 5, 2000

This book has a clear explanation of the basics of shell programming. I can honestly say I used this book to teach myself shell programming. I just ordered my own copy, because having used a friends to learn, I now use it as a desk reference.
