Review of 'A Practical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming (3rd Edition)' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I have used this book in a class I led at work, and strongly recommend it for people that are interested in developing their Linux proficiency.
This book will not make you a Linux expert. But you will have a solid foundation from which to develop the skills you learn from this book to become that expert over time, after you read this book.
I like this book because it provides ample coverage of its topics. Each chapter is a sort of mini book in and of itself, providing solid coverage of the topic it is dedicated to. You can pick and choose what you want to learn at any given time, without too much of a loss. After you read it, you can refer back to it.
This is, in my opinion, a book that is successful both as a technical book and a reference manual.
