Title: UNIX(r) Shell Programming, 4th Edition by Lowell Jay Arthur, Ted Burns ISBN: 0-471-16894-7 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Pub. Date: 11 July, 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $49.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.45 (22 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: The book is a decent reference, but poor on examples.
Comment: Overall the book clarifies how to use the different commands. I felt it was lacking in programming examples to teach the concepts. The part for the "novice" at the beginning of the book is a fair review of basic Unix. If you don't understand Unix, then don't even attempt anything in this book.
The concepts contained are invaluable for anyone wishing to learn to program. It has also come in handy for looking up a command with it's parameters.

Summary: Unix Shell Programming
Comment: I went through a few different books before this one, including "Learning The Bash Shell" , which I found cryptic and incomplete at best. I have to say that I am at a loss as to why this book has gotten such negative reviews. I had no example problems, and the structure of the book really helps build on previous chapters. The approach is also extremely clear and pedagogic-- all of the concepts are clearly illustrated in examples in a clear context. Its the time-proven "if you want to do this... type this in" approach extremely conducive to make readers want to explore or on their own. Given the enormous volume of Unix books that fails to do so, I think this books deserves a little more credit.
I would say this is a good introduction to Unix shell programming. I would also get E.Q. Shells by Example.
Rating: 1
Summary: Terrible Examples
Comment: Clearly, the authors have not verified the examples they provided in the book. When I ran the example scripts, frequently I would encounter mistakes here and there. It is rather annoying to have such a stupid problem when you try to understand the presented concepts or convention.
