Will get you started.
By John Doe1022 - July 27, 2012Overall this book will give you a nice grasp of the CLI and how things work. It helped me a ton and i still reference it from time to time.
If you are getting this book solely for shell scripting, a few topics are either not mentioned or touched on lightly. A example is math, for floating point math they use `bc`, a external command that may not be installed by default. which is a nice tool and will get the job done, but they show you a few good examples of how to use it then briefly talk about the (( )) internal command(later on in the book) which can do the same thing with less effort. Some other topics you won't see is parameter expansion, why [[ should be used over [ (test) in most cases, command grouping, subshell execution & process substitution. Finding information on any of those aren't hard, just not in the book. That plus the typos, some of which may prevent the command from executing correctly, prevents me from giving five stars.

An OK book.
By Jay - October 13, 2012I am taking some Linux classes in school. I purchased this because I struggle a lot with Bash scripting and I wanted to supplement my text books with a book that focused on scripting.
The book itself is easy enough to follow and has does a good job of explaining the various commands. Where it falls short though are the amount of sample scripts. As I said above I struggle with scripting. I have no issues at all getting around in the terminal but I don't think my brain is wired correctly to ever be proficient in writing scripts. I wish it gave more than one example for the sample scripts. The way I learn is by seeing various scripts and seeing how they perform, but when the book only gives one example of how to use a variable I believe it falls short of my needs. I wish there would be three or for different examples.
If you are a fast learner and have a natural talent for scripting then this may be the right book for you. If you are like me and need to be shown... read more
Not bad
By tux2112 - October 12, 2012Does a decent job in explaining syntax and flow but leaves out full detail that is needed for a full understanding. The title is not justified. Bible infers a complete refference where as this is like the old testament, good information and interesting but not the full story.
