UNIX: The Complete Reference, Second Edition (Complete Reference Series)

I really liked this book. I used it for a UNIX class, and then kept it because it was so useful. It is laid out in a nice, usable way, and presents the material in a beginner-to-intermediate way without watering down the information.

This book really has all the information I was looking for. As a person that worked on MS environments the book was a meaningful help for me.

This was the textbook for a "UNIX with Shell Programming" course I took in college and I found it very useful and informative for that course. I've also referenced it a number of times since completing that course, particularly for shell programming basics. It offers a great overview of primary subjects anyone working with UNIX or UNIX-like operating systems should know. I don't know about it being a "complete" reference, as that would probably be impossible for any single book to accomplish. However, this book is still a great reference to have on hand for a first look at a topic, although you may have to do further research or reading elsewhere if you want to really dig into minute details on a particular subject, which is the only reason I didn't give it a fifth star.

Had everything I've needed so far. EXCELLENT Reference book.

Product showed up on time and packaged very well and in great shape. Used the book for a class of mine. Thanks

love the book!

Thanks

This book is o.k. itself, it's kinda old,about 10 years, but for the basic description it's more than enough.Shell doesn't make any major changes, so for the price it's really good.

Book was in perfect shape..
