Learning the UNIX Operating System Q/Ref by Grace Todino

Learning the UNIX Operating System Q/Ref by Grace Todino

This is an introduction to UNIX in print. This edition covers Internet usage for email, file transfers, and Web browsing. It includes a quick-reference card to pull out and keep handy.

'Ah, what a lovely little bookMy list of classics include: K&R, Pike and Kernighan's The Practice of Programming, their The Unix Programming Environment, The Perl Cookbook and The Awk Programming Language. To that list I can now add the current volume. What more can I say: this is a good buy, especially for anyone approaching Unix/Linux for the first time. Even older hands might find it useful to have a copy, if only to give away. It won't provide all that is needed but it is good starting point. I am convinced that computers are getting uglier by the day. This ugliness stems from a quest for glitz at the expense of simplicity and elegance. Like a breath of fresh air, 'Learning the Unix Operating System' is a reminder that it doesn't need to be that way. ' - Joe McCool, Learning the UNIX Operating System - Cvu, April

Jerry Peek has used Unix since the early 1980s. He has consulted on Unix and VMS, developed and taught Unix courses, been a staff writer for O'Reilly & Associates, and has worked as a programmer and system administrator. Grace Todino is currently residing in Holland. While working as a technical writer at O'Reilly & Associates, Inc., Grace was one of the original authors of the Nutshell Handbooks?, Managing UUCP and Usenet and Using UUCP and Usenet. John Strang now finds himself "a consumer--rather than a producer of Nutshells." He is currently a diagnostic radiologist (MD) at Stanford University. He plans to use his experience as an author at ORA to write his own book on radiology.
