Reader Reviews
This book shouldn't be out of print! It gives lots of practical tips, such as: How to use ed, vi, or emacs; how to write scripts in sh, sed, perl or awk; how to handle email on UNIX; basics of programming. Put together, it's a great lesson in the history and philosophy of UNIX. Work you way through the book, and you'll have a good grasp of the UNIX way. Then, you can still use the book as a mighty handy reference. The book is only slightly dated in spots. For example, it doesn't cover anything to do with the World Wide Web, and it doesn't mention Linux. However, these are only minor omissions. It's still an excellent book!
