Format:Paperback
The KornShell Programming Tutorial should be the model for all technical books. It is well organized and extremely well written. The book provides a ton of examples, and output is provided for each one--what a concept! Reading this book has enabled me to write support and debugging scripts for the program I currently work on, and if I need to refer to the book, I can find the topic quickly. The writing style is crystal-clear and right-to-the-point, and the humorous touches round out everything nicely. Thanks to Barry Rosenberg for caring enough to write a book on Korn Shell programming that a novice could actually read, understand, and apply.

This is the best book on KornShell programming that I have seen. I would consider this a must read for anyone new to the UNIX environment. I would like to see more books written by Rosenberg that use this as a template. Great job !
Format:Paperback
I've been ksh programming on and off for about 7 years now and this book is still the best. It's easy to read, great for reference and constantly reminds you of good ways to do things. Also a great book for teaching new support teams standards and good programming practices. A must for anyone who wants to know ksh.
