The book contents are very rich but unfortunately the book was a dry read which is very rare for me callling any IT book a dry read!!
It is the ways to learn UNIX - By: , 27 Feb 2006
Everybody likes easy to read books & I also assume that learning UNIX is not necessarily has to be a struggle. This book stood up to my expectations almost perfectly: it is very well written & clearly expressed work. It does not overwhelm with technical details & does not press too much. It is VERY descriptive & takes you snoothly from subject to subject. I also followed an advise in someone's review & purchased "UNIX Essentials" DVD that is complete unix course recorded (I found on Amazon.com but since they do not ship outside US I ordered it directly from CustomFlix.com). These two nicely complement one another. You watch it & you read it. If you didn't catch it from the first try you watch it again & read it again. In two months I found myself confident to that extend that gave advises to our system administrator & he accepted them because there were subjects that he wasn't completely sure. What I can say, in three month I passed my first interview & got a job! Sure it is a way to start & there are much more advanced reading, however these two provide you with the background !
I can't overstate how much I have learned from them. Don't be naive, though. You will have to learn & memorize many things. The fact of owning neither book nor DVD will not make you knowledgeable, but if you will work it trough, trust me, you will surprise many people around!
