What I find particularly frustrating about man pages is that they never include examples. Sobell, on the other hand, outlines very clearly what the command does and then gives several common, easy-to-understand examples that make it a breeze to start shell programming on one''s own. As with Sobell''s other works, this is simple, straight-forward, and easy to read. It''s a great book and will stay on the shelf at easy arm''s reach for a long time." -Ray Bartlett, Travel Writer "Overall I found this book to be quite excellent, and it has earned a spot on the very front of my bookshelf. It covers the real ''guts'' of Linux- the command line and its utilities-and does so very well. Its strongest points are the outstanding use of examples, and the Command Reference section. Highly recommended for Linux users of all skill levels. Well done to Mark Sobell and Prentice Hall for this outstanding book!" -Dan Clough, Electronics Engineer and Slackware Linux User "Totally unlike most Linux books, this book avoids discussing everything via GUI and jumps right into making the power of the command line your friend." -Bjorn Tipling, Software Engineer, ask.com "This book is the best distro-agnostic, foundational Linux reference I''ve ever seen, out of dozens of Linux-related books I''ve read. Finding this book was a real stroke of luck. If you want to really understand how to get things done at the command line, where the power and flexibility of free UNIX-like OSes really live, this book is among the best tools you''ll find toward that end." -Chad Perrin, Writer, TechRepublic "I moved to Linux from Windows XP a couple of years ago, and after some distro hopping settled on Linux Mint. At age 69 I thought I might be biting off more than I could chew, but thanks to much reading and the help of a local LUG I am now quite at home with Linux at the GUI level. "Now I want to learn more about the CLI and a few months ago bought your book: A Practical Guide to Linux® Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming, Second Edition. "For me, this book is proving to be the foundation upon which my understanding of the CLI is being built. As a comparative ''newbie'' to the Linux world, I find your book a wonderful, easy-to-follow guide that I highly recommend to other Linux users." -John Nawell, CQLUG (Central Queensland Linux User Group) "I have the second edition of A Practical Guide to Linux® Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming and am a big fan. I used it while working as a Cisco support engineer. I plan to get the third edition as soon as it is released. We will be doing a ton of command-line work on literally 1000 boxes (IMS core nodes). I feel you have already given me a lot of tools with the second edition. I want to get your new book as soon as possible. The way you write works very well for my style of learning." -Robert Lingenfelter, Support Engineer, VoIP/IMS Praise for Other Books by Mark G. Sobell "Since I''m in an educational environment, I found the content of Sobell''s book to be right on target and very helpful for anyone managing Linux in the enterprise. His style of writing is very clear. He builds up to the chapter exercises, which I find to be relevant to real-world scenarios a user or admin would encounter. An IT/IS student would find this book a valuable complement to their education. The vast amount of information is extremely well balanced and Sobell manages to present the content without complicated asides and meandering prose. This is a ''must have'' for anyone managing Linux systems in a networked environment or anyone running a Linux server. I would also highly recommend it to an experienced computer user who is moving to the Linux platform., Praise for Previous Editions of A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming "This book is a very useful tool for anyone who wants to ''look under the hood'' so to speak, and really start putting the power of Linux to work.
