Excellent Book

First, don't even think of buying this book of you like books that you can sit back and read. This is a very hands-on approach book that requires active participation. The examples are excellent though some commands don't work on modern systems. The Program Development Chapter is a nightmare but an amazing experience nonetheless.

Good Quality for a Low Price

Good book but not for a Beginner who have no any concept in UNIX

this book starts with programming design in the unix. so it is not perfect for the beginners. Firstly anyone must get the concepts of any operating system. for that we must go for book like this:- UNIX: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS 4th Edition by SUMITABHA DAS

Use less

Worst book for UNIX learners. The book doesn't even clears any concepts. Dont buy this book. Especially WASEians.

Recommended for anyone who wants to write any unix-y program

Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike are the de facto authorities on this subject.

Pros:
- Extremely light, fast read
- Best if partnered with an accompanying program that you intend to write

Cons: I don't yet know, but I will update the review once I do
