 Rating: - A UNIX book that's actually clearly written !!!!!If you're like me then you've bought a few UNIX books and are none the wiser as you seem to be on the outside looking in at some 6th-form science club. You are, however , 'in IT' and have to get to understand shell-scripting rather than just copy other peoples code. Get this book. It's normal !! It achieves twin aims of covering the subject in depth and being easy to understand. It covers shell scripting very well ( all the curly brackets stuff as well as some very simple , but extremely useful , ... Read More Rating: - Possibly one of the best introduction to UNIX/LINUX out there.This book is incredibly well paced and written. The authors manage to write in a very approachable way without missing any of the essential, and without patronising the reader. The title may mislead some into thinking that this book covers only scripting or isnt suitable for starting to learn the *NIX shells. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I also followed an advise in someone review and purchased "UNIX Essentials" DVD that is complete unix course recorded (I found on Amazon.com but since they do not ship outside US I ordered it directly from CustomFlix.com). ... Read More Rating: - Shell scripting as an introduction to LinuxThis is a great book. I found the writing clear and precise and as a general introduction to all things Unix and Linux invaluable. The aim as stated by the authors is to be able to write clear, secure, cross platform scripts for any Unix system. I would also recommend that as a starting point for any new Linux user just getting beyond the X interface into the shell. I wish I had this when I started on Linux.
