I'm pleased to announce the publication of "Teach Yourself UNIX In A
Week" from SAMS/Prentice-Hall. This is a new addition to an admittedly
crowded market, but with a few differences that might just pique your
interest...
Most importantly, I have gone to great lengths to include the *output*
of all commands discussed in the book (it's amazing to me how many
intro books show users the command to type, but then don't show what'll
be displayed as a result), and I also focus on the most important and
common flags and commands rather than an encyclopaedic listing of flags
or rewritten man pages: there's no reason to pay for either of the
latter styles of book!
"Teach Yourself UNIX In A Week" is over 700 pages, quite extensive (it
includes a long discussion of Usenet, gopher, and FTP, for example, as
well as a foray into programming and Unix programming tools), and is
widely available at bookstores near you, notably Borders, Barnes & Noble
and all technical bookstores. You can also order it directly from
the publisher by calling (800) 428-5331.
