Format:Paperback
If like me (and most people) you learn best from examples, this is just the book to read to find out how to write shell scripts. Actually it is a petty good book to look at if you just want to learn how to be a more effective user of any flavour of Unix: Linux, Ubuntu, Solaris, Red-hat, etc, etc. Obviously, you do have to be a Unix user for this stuff to be useful.
Material is presented in a logical order; it has lots of examples, and the explanations are clear. It begins with very simple things, and ends up with very powerful scripts particularly useful to system administrators.

Not for beginners
29 Nov 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Nowhere in the description for this book does it say that it can be picked up by a beginner, so when I say that I knew very little about shell scripting when I bought it, and I got confused fast, it's more my mistake than the authors or publishers. I'm merely letting others know that this book is intended for those that already know the basics of shell scripting. I'm currently reading a different book to master those basics so that I can then delve into this one more fully, as it seems to be a very well written and straight forward learning tool. Knowing only the basics of getting around the shell, I made it to about page 50 or so before realizing that I needed to be a little further developed before tackling this more in depth book. At first it seemed that the author was clearly explaining the fundamentals, but then he started throwing things into the script examples that were not introduced beforehand and it is assumed that the reader knows what's going on. Again, this is not a negative, it's just a misunderstanding on my part. I will update this review when I have finished learning the fundamentals and then finished this book. From what I've read so far, it seems like it's going to be very useful!
