Summary: hunsolo
Comment: Assumes nothing-does the job nicely Aside from the title(You could wrap it in brown paper): This book assumes nothing about the readers knowledge. It starts of explaining the vi editor and its shortcuts and explains basic strings and arrays and rounds it of basic database files,flowcharts and nested loops. There are hardly any other books out there,that start from zero,this one does. If you want to get started writing shell scripts and/or learn C, you should read this book first.

I would recommend it to anybody running Unix/Linux/BSD flavours. Build the foundation first,then learn the fancy stuff.

Summary: "Dummies" are usually good, but this one...
Comment: I found it not very useful and I couldn't keep reading the book after the first 2 chapters!

Summary: This book must have been written in a day
Comment: The book has several typos and uses terrible examples. I did not like the flow of the book at all. Even some of the basics (like variable declarations), were not properly explained. The bottom line is that the book was obviously rushed. I wouldn't recommend this title at all.
