## Description

desertcart.com: Efficient Linux at the Command Line: Boost Your Command-Line Skills: 9781098113407: Barrett, Daniel J.: Books

Review: A Treasure Trove of Technical Instruction and Reference Material - As a book author myself, I understand how difficult it is to complete a technical publication. I hadn’t worked with Linux for a while, and I desperately needed a refresher. That said, Daniel J. Barrett has done a great job explaining and demonstrating Linux command-line techniques, and his book most definitely helped me get back into the groove. With Efficient Linux at the Command Line, Daniel has written a good book, and I’d go as far as to say it’s a great book. At 432 pages, it's a fairly lean book by technology realm standards, but I’d go for quality over quantity any day. The book is also written so well, that you could use it as a highly effective reference, so you don’t have to memorize all the command line gems you’re bound to learn about. If I have a problem or a question that I can't resolve, I can simply turn to the index and find what I need. Daniel’s well researched and written book reminds me why even though we have the internet, with so much information at our fingertips, there’s no substitute for a book written by an up to date, experienced and highly knowledgeable professional.
Review: Exceptional - I'd expected this title to be a collection of handy tips and tricks to boost your command line skills. Sure enough, the book does include those. But it also does an exceptional job of breaking down each command and option, giving you a comprehensive understanding of what each command does. Some important tidbits of Unix/Linux theory and explanations of how shells and processes work here and there. Certainly a "must have" for anybody serious about deepening their understanding of the Linux OS
