books about: unix     books:       Classic Shell Scripting11 reviews Arnold Robbins, Nelson H.F. Beebe O'Reilly Media, Inc., 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 ...             Programming Perl (3rd Edition)109 reviews Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, ... O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2000 It is difficult to study perl using only this book. It is difficult to study perl using only this book. Learning perl is the best way to study perl. This book should be a reference of perl. And there are many examples on the Net. You can use these examples to modify for your purpose. Sometimes, you should study how to debbug perl.             Learning the bash Shell (In a Nutshell (O'Reilly))32 reviews Cameron Newham O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005 Outstanding in every way I first bought this book over 12 years ago, and I still use it as the standard by which other books are measured. It must be one of my top 5 favorite computer books, ever. The author clearly understands the material, and makes it approachable, direct, and easy to learn without being too light or condescending. I wish the same could be said of Java books. "Learning the bash Shell" is the ...             RHCE Red Hat Certified Engineer Linux Study Guide (Exam RH302) (Certification Press)36 reviews Michael Jang McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2007 Absolutely essential for RHCE exam candidates! I picked this book up about a month before my RHCE exam was scheduled. I had been studying using the course objectives and the Red Hat Deployment Guide, but felt I was missing that extra jump to put me ahead of the game. This book was EXACTLY that extra jump. As a direct result of studying this book, I nailed the first half of the RHCE (100%), and got 93%/89% on the RHCT/RHCE portions of the ...             SCJP Sun Certified Programmer for Java 5 Study Guide (Exam 310-055) (Certification Press Study Guides)275 reviews Katherine Sierra, Bert Bates McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2005 SCJP Sun Certified Programmer for Java 5 Study Guide (Exam 310-055) Knowing and working with Java since a while the stuff is not really new to me. However I was afraid to see how many of the test questions I answered only correct in part, or simply wrong. In fact never due to missing knowledge but by falling into the pitfalls of those twisted questions or over reading hidden details in questions with apparently so obvious answers! (I had much less problems to ...             VMware ESX Server in the Enterprise: Planning and Securing Virtualization Servers4 reviews Edward L.

I'm not through reading this yet, but I'm definitely impressed and happy to have it. This is not just the typical collection of "Tinker Toy" type stuff - yes, there's some of that here, but it goes way beyond and even gets into hacking hardware. I feel like a kid in a candy store.. yes, yes, there's stuff here you'll find all over the web, but there are also hacks and tips I have never seen ...             Linux Pocket Guide33 reviews Daniel J. Barrett O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2004 Does what it says at a price you can't argue with. This is definitely a great companion for any Linux administrator or hobbyist who is trying to become a level 60 command line warrior.

You can safely pick "Dive into Python". However, if you are the bottom-up type, you will not regret. While the Python slogan promises "one way to do it", Mark Lutz will show you four, and explore every detail, like complex list comprehensions, closures and the diamond inheritance pattern. This is why you will wait 200 pages (exploring data ...             Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach23 reviews Amit Singh Addison-Wesley Professional, 2006 Amazing work This well written books contains everything you need to know about the internals of Max OS X.

O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005 Still a very helpful, very valuable reference Getting a bit long in tooth, but Linux hasn't changed that much since this was published in 2005. Much of it is a reprint of what you'll find in the MAN pages, with better tyography and formatting. Not particularly helpful for the rank beginner, unless used as a secondary source. As a handy reference to Linux - truly Linux in a nutshell - it still has no equal in terms of comprehensiveness ...             Beginning Ubuntu Server Administration: From Novice to Professional (Expert's Voice)5 reviews Sander van Vugt Apress, 2007 Great introduction to linux server administration As many have made the switch to Ubuntu linux on their desktops a plethora have resources have sprung up in the form of websites and books helping users adapt.

You can use it as a reference, reading sections as you need them, or read it cover to cover. I've opted for the former and am about half-way through.

The most valuable parts ...             VI Editor Pocket Reference16 reviews Arnold Robbins O'Reilly Media, Inc., 1998 A very, very good pocket reference This is the first time I've given any book five stars. That's because this is the best pocket quick reference of VI you're going to find. The information is presented as concisely as it can be and still remain accessible. Other, terser (and, yes, less expensive) quick reference cards for VI are too cryptic to be useful, in my opinion. If you don't already know VI, try an on-line tutorial ...             Unix in a Nutshell, Fourth Edition13 reviews Arnold Robbins O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005 Another great O'Reilly book For those of you with the "animal" bookshelf, this is one of the better books to own.
