Efficient Linux at the Command Line: Boost Your Command-Line Skills

Lots of great tips, tricks, and insights into Linux. There are a few excellent sections on building complex commands. Beginners transitioning to intermediate and intermediate Linux users will likely get the most out of this book.

I've been using Linux Mint for about 7 years and have read several books on the command line. This book really helps boost me to the next level and greatly increases my efficiency. I particularly liked the method he offers to move quickly and with ease into folders many levels deep. In addition the pushd and popd commands are saving me a lot of time. I feel like I've certainly gotten my money's worth and I am only on page 67 of 230. I love the many concrete and practical suggestions.

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.

I usually don't do reviews, but this book deserves the extra attention. I don't consider myself a Linux ninja by any means, but I do use Linux daily as part of my job. I should say, perhaps, that I google my way through my day. This book explains away many of my misconceptions and has allowed me to gain a deep intuition into how the Linux command line can truly become a powerful tool. The book does not waver in its focus of explaining the most common Linux commands and how they interact with the shell. It's not a compendium of all things Linux, by any means, but it succeeds in inviting and engaging the reader to be a more effective Linux command line user.

日本の出版社は、Linuxがすきでないみたいでlinux本の本が手にはいらないので困ってました。仕方がないので、洋書のオライリーを購入し新しい知識とスキルを更新するために有効でした。洋書がアマゾンで購入できるのは有難いですよ!
