Product: 1118935128 One of the best book on Unix/Linux I ever bought. The programming part is focused on Bash and C/C++ so you can choose your level of action. Very good electronics explanations, simple well described circuits. The author shows the simple way and the right way to do it ! Full of references to documentation online with short links. References to working components as well, e.g. wifi adaptors. Compliments to the author, a reccomended reading for all people wanting to do automation in Linux.

Product: The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction New to Linux so was a little intimidated by the the seemingly vast array of commands and complexity. This book has great examples and detailed explanations that basically walked me through getting familiar with the command line. In very short order I was off on my own using the book as a reference. Great starter book! And likely a fair reference book for the not so nubes out there.

Product: Linux for Beginners: An Introduction to the Linux Operating System and Command Line If you want to learn to use Linux, this book is a great resource. It starts from the beginning, as in setting up your Linux account for the first time and teaches you all about command lines, how to use them, edit them, sort them, and more. There are pictures and commands listed throughout, so you don’t get confused, and dozens of links to articles for further reading.

Product: How Linux Works I don’t feel that I wasted my time by reading this book; however, the information in the book contained references to configuration files on Ubuntu that were incorrect. Although this is a generic book on Linux, information provided about specific flavors should still be accurate. Rating: 3 1593270356 Count: 59

Product: 1418837237 This book takes its reader from the very basic Linux concepts to writing some scripts in Perl, CGI, C & C++. It makes a gradual progression which is great for a thorough understanding of each skill. This was my textbook for a Linux class. Although I don’t feel the class was that great, the book is. After all, in most cases, if you are dedicated to the subject and have a decent text, you will learn.

Product: 1449316697 I bought this when I started a new position that has Linux as one of the platforms that is supported. I had no experience with Linux and needed an quick guide to help me find answers. This does just that in a way that makes it easy to find what I need, and is small enough to keep handy and not need a bookshelf to store it on. Rating: 5 1449316697 Count: 22

Product: 1449316387 Have you heard about Git but not sure what is it? This book will give you nearly complete explanation of what Git is all about. In my personal opinion, one of the best introductions to Git. Ever. The book covers most common topics and does it right. In case you are complete beginner, it provides initial Git setup section. So, be afraid not. If you prefer to use Windows over Linux or OS X, you will be told how to setup things as well.

Product: LINUX Beginner’s Crash Cours Linux is such a fascinating operating system and I am kind of skeptic to try it because of the impression that it is quite complicated. Reading this book and learning about it proved me wrong because, although I am a beginner, I was able to grasp the information and understand it very well. There are a lot of commands to remember but this book is very reliable and I am confident enough that I can learn more and improve using Linux over time.

Product: The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction I approached this book as an aging hacker who started out network computing on DEC VAX and VMS, but spent more than a dozen years in Windows-close business environments, and now gets back to its roots with a programming habit turning serious. My UNIX experience got rusty during the years, and I was surprised to find a complete generation of programmers operating without a slight knowledge of the command line.
