Brilliant

This book is *the* way to begin working with the Korn shell. I needed to get up to speed with a shell scripting language in order to do Oracle DBA tasks. I bought this based on the strength of it's Amazon ratings and was completely delighted.

The author has a great style, easy to understand and very clear. I found the procession of topics to be very logical; a nice gradual build up from the simple to the more complex. There is plenty of 'depth' in each chapter and good highlighting of potential problem areas and difficult concepts. These have additional coverage to help steer clear of the hassles and come to a clear understanding of the more challenging ideas.

The examples are well thought out, they present each topic of interest clearly and in a meaningful way, without clutter. I have coded almost every single one and found only a few errors. Within a chapter the examples are presented with increasing complexity, but are never the page after page monsters that leave you lost. It is amazing how well the author illustrates the content with short (20 - 30 line) samples.

When I was puzzled with something I had read here, I turned to two of my friends who 'live' in shell scripting up to their necks. Both have learned useful techniques from this book through my questions.

My copy is literally starting to come apart from constant use for reference. It is that good.

Brilliant, clear, complete, marvellous !!!!!!!

This book was published 17 years ago (from the time of writing this comment).
At the beginning I was a bit reluctant about buying this book and I was thinking maybe the book is a bit old and does not fully cover the subject.

However, after reading all the 5 stars comments written by amazon
customers and more surprisingly after seeing that everybody (without exception !!) had given 5 stars to the book, I said to myself "hey man, let's try this book". This is the first book that I used to learn Korn Shell (In fact I had found the job of my dreams which needed me to learn very fast the KornShell language, that I didn't know at all).

I'm really happy about my decision. The book is really well written, with
a very clear and simple language and contains loads of pertinent
examples. I highly recommend it particularly for those who are going to
learn the KornShell for the first time.

It took me only one week (roughly 4 hours per day) to read and finish
this book.

Try it! you won't regret it, trust me!!

Great book for older Korn Shell versions

This books covers pre 93 Korn shell.

However this actually makes learning the shell more simple. At work we have a pre-93 version so the instructions are sure to work.

The author's "93" version of the book is also good, but a bit harder to understand for a beginner.

Excellent Tutorial

I found this to be an excellent hands-on tutorial in KornShell. Wish there were a book-2 and book-3 with advanced training.

best!!!!!!!

I am programming with korn shell for 12 yr. already. And I started with this book. It is an excellent book for beginner and even intermediate programmer. It took me about 2 days to go through all book. i still looking inside once in a while. Few times i was loosing this book, bought another one and after short time i dumped it and bought this one again.
Examples and explanation in this book are so usefull, short and easy to understand, that you can't find better book. Your learning efficency really depends on it. Buy it, by all means you will be glad you did it.
