This book perfectly fills the niche. With clear writing, well thought through examples and gentle humor, it is superb for the young ...             Version Control with Git: Powerful Tools and Techniques for Collaborative Software Development5 reviews Jon Loeliger, Loeliger Jon O'Reilly Media, 2009 well written; easy to understand I found this book to be very well and carefully written. As a technical writer and editor, I'm extremely picky about copy errors, language usage, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to find almost no problems of this sort. I also found the book remarkably easy to understand. Given the complex and esoteric nature of the topic matter, this is quite an accomplishment! In summary, I would ...             RHCE Red Hat Certified Engineer Linux Study Guide (Exam RH302) (Certification Press)47 reviews Michael Jang McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2007 for the novice or the seasoned... I recently purchased the RHCE Exam Guide by Michael Jang, and I give the book all five stars because it is exactly what I expected it to be: an excellent, thorough, and practical approach to Linux administration. I was first introduced to Michael through his Fedora Core 5 book, which was also an excellent reference. Indeed, I often refer to the Fedora 5 book for straight answers for many ...             VMware Cookbook: A Real-World Guide to Effective VMware Use1 review Troy Ryan, Helmke Matthew O'Reilly Media, 2009 Effective and useful guide for VMware As someone who works with VMware most everyday, I'm always on the lookout for new tips, ideas and things that make administration easier.

I received the in great condition and in less time than I thought it would take.             Learning Python (Animal Guide)142 reviews Mark Lutz, Lutz Mark O'Reilly Media, 2009 Good book It's a great book. I did buy a slightly outdated version, which was why it was under $6 (including shipping), but the basics are there. Beginner programmers: This book is perfect. Though it doesn't have all the humor of a "For Dummies" book, it's not dry reading (IMHO). Expert programmers: Don't buy this book for yourself; it's a little long-winded. You'll learn the language, but you'll ...             Embedded Linux Primer: A Practical Real-World Approach12 reviews Christopher Hallinan Prentice Hall PTR, 2006 Really heapful For those engineers who start their first embedded Linux project, this book is a must have. The book is not for those who want to understand how kernel runs but it gives you the most important concept and work flow to bring up the OS on your development board. The author also provides a useful further reading list in case you want to dig more. A very practical and clearly written book and I would ...             Red Hat® Certified Technician & Engineer (RHCT and RHCE) Training Guide and Administrator's Reference4 reviews Asghar Ghori Endeavor Technologies Inc., 2009 Quality material, recommended Well, it's a new book on the topic. I found it to be a lot more concise than Jang's. It actually gives you a lot more information than Jang's book (in terms of commands you need to be familiar with, examples and explaining basic principles), it just does so in approximately same number of pages. Troubleshooting and exercise section are located at the end of the book and offer scenarios that ...             C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 (2nd Edition) (Prentice Hall Open Source Software Development Series)18 reviews Jasmin Blanchette, Mark Summerfield Prentice Hall PTR, 2008 Great introduction for advanced programmers If you have never developped GUI applications using object oriented techniques I would reccommend you stay away from this book it jumps into the details too quickly. Try Foundations of Qt® Development (Expert's Voice in Open Source) instead. Sooner or later, you'll have to have this book, though, to get you to the next level. There seems to be room for yet another book which discusses the ...             Programming Python9 reviews Mark Lutz O'Reilly Media, 2006 Huge book This book is one of the biggest books I own. It's amazing that the author was able to fit actual Python code on almost every page. I used to own the first version and I have to say it's definitely gotten better.             Python in a Nutshell, Second Edition (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))40 reviews Alex Martelli, Martelli Alex O'Reilly Media, 2009 Excellent reference book for Python. Not for learning, but great reference. This book is strictly a reference book. It contains snippets of examples and detailed explanations about each Python function/features. It is very, very good for that. The section on strings, for example, contains about 15 pages on every possible string methods, and a brief example. Perfect for a reference.             Python Pocket Reference (Python in Your Pocket)16 reviews Lutz Mark O'Reilly Media, 2009 Very handy reference with all the answers This is a great little book. I have had three revisions of it and plan to get the next one when it is published. I keep it in my mini 10v running ubuntu linux (9.10) netbook's sleeve when I travel. Perfect little reference and easily worth the cost.             Hacking Exposed: Network Security Secrets and Solutions, Sixth Edition7 reviews Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray, ...

O'Reilly Media, 2005 Possibly still the best book on the subject Even though the third edition is showing its age - it covers kernel version 2.6.10, which is terribly old - in my opinion this is still the best book on the subject. Generally, it is not possible to create an up to date tutorial for programming the Linux kernel, since it changes constantly. SO, the key is to introduce the reader to the way of thinking necessary in order to understand and ...             Beginning Ubuntu Linux, Fourth Edition3 reviews Keir Thomas, Andy Channelle, ... Apress, 2009 inexpensive way to learn Linux using free ubuntu distro excellent book for a low price.

If you need to program or work in the OS you should own this book.             Classic Shell Scripting10 reviews Arnold Robbins, Nelson H.F. Beebe O'Reilly Media, 2005 Practical and useful Great book. The emphasis is nicely split between actually using the shell itself and the whole supporting cast of unix tools (sed, awk, cut, join, sort etc.) The idea of carefully crafting solutions using the unix toolbox mindset is key. I also like the fact he doesn't try to teach to multiple shells, but first tries to emphasize portability by sticking mainly to a POSIX standard, and only later ...              search for books administration, administrator, approach, beginner, beginners, beginning, certification, certified, collaborative, cookbook, development, effective, embedded, engineer, learning, nutshell, powerful, practical, prentice, programming, real-world, reference, scripting, security, software, solutions, technician, techniques, training, understanding books:    randomly chosen book: The Musical Genesis of Felix Mendelssohn's Paulus home  impressum - about us
