This book is broad-based in its approach to Unix shells and shell programming, and because it covers so much ground I'm not sure I'd recommend it to new users. However, if you are experienced and don't want to thumb through a dozen different books on Unix, this is the one to own. It has clear and simple examples that will refresh your memory quickly, as well as good illustrations of what is going on as your programs execute. I started out with the 1999 edition of this book, and I've updated as new ... Read More
Rating: - an amazing book
Amazing book, got it in excellent conditions saving a lot from the normal price.
The book is written in an easy and smooth way, giving the reader the choice to start anywhere he prefer, since the book has various sections that can be studied in any order (if you have at keast the basics of unix or linux, otherwise is better to start from the beginning); and i never found a book like this; where i can find the answers in one place, instead of getting 4 different books plus google :)

These give precious hints to the reader.
And the answer of the question in your mind : Yes, one can be a good equipped shell programmer nominee if this book is read throughly and carefully.
As a last ... Read More
Rating: - A great intro to UNIX power tools

Some positives about the text are as follows
1, every concept and programming construct is followed by an example
2, the sample data file (to try the different programming techniques against) are ... Read More
Rating: - awesome book...
I'm currently using this book for a college class and I must say it is fairly easy to read and understand. I am somewhat a beginner when it comes to Linux Shell programming. Understanding the concepts in this book needs a little experience from the reader but it still is easy to follow.
