Product: The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction

Having a fairly decent command line knowledge, I didn’t expect to learn much from this book. I was definitely surprised by how well this book was written. It is laid out in a simple, straight forward, and easy to understand way.
Many of the O’Reilly books I have, or have read, always make me feel like I don’t have enough initial knowledge to understand the basics. Then when I finally do grasp the basics, I feel like they leave me hanging on advanced concepts. Often they feel like a college level teacher teaching you, and if you don’t get it, they move on. The Linux Command Line is definitely the opposite of this, and reading through it made me feel as if a friend were helping me understand each command. The language used made this much more pleasurable to read than any other book of the same subjects. This book always helps you feel comfortable with a program or concept before moving on, much like a tutor instead of a stern instructor.
This has become my new go to book for Linux command line, and scripting. It has been heavily borrowed at work, and a second copy will soon be ordered so I can have it all to myself.
