Product: The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction

Back in 2014 I had a university requirement to earn my Linux+ before graduation. The amount of material covered in the official study guide seemed overwhelming, was just too bland, and expected a baseline of knowledge that I frankly did not have at the time. I was beginning to dread my approaching deadline and started to look for alternative learning materials. That’s when I found this book.

This is the most engaging, complete, and informative introductory text that has ever been written for the Linux command line. Topics are presented from the ground up and conveyed in conversational manner that truly captivates. This book does NOT read like a dry textbook.

Oddly enough, another benefit is that the book does not have a list of topics that it MUST cover. Since the text has not been geared towards a particular exam, William E. Shotts, Jr. can address fundamental topics that are necessary to understand, but not explicitly covered in the Linux+ exam objectives. These extra topics are what will allow you to transition into the more advanced topics of the Linux+ without feeling overwhelmed.

I would recommend this to anyone who has ever shown an interest in Linux. It does not matter what age, it does not matter what background, this book can equip you with the tools necessary to dive head first into what will hopefully become your new lifelong obsession with the Linux command line.
