Biographical Note: -- Sandra Henry-Stocker, ITworld "The most approachable tome on the subject." -- Federico Lucifredi, Linux Magazine "If you would like to start using the command line, improve your existing skills, or simply want to discover tools that you were never even aware existed, this book has everything you need, and I wholly recommend it." -- Phil Bull, author of the official Ubuntu documentation "This is the best introduction to the command-line I have read." -- BeginLinux.com "A perfect companion to more remedial guides to Linux that touch on the command only briefly, and also a terrific bridge to deeper technical programming books. Highly recommended." -- Game Vortex " The Linux Command Line is pleasant to read. It has a light tone, while also getting down to business." -- John D. Cook, The Endeavor "A delightful read and you can hand it to a junior colleague or friend with more limited Unix shell exposure and be confident that they come back significantly shell-wiser and probably happier." -- Peter N.M. Hansteen, That Grumpy BSD Guy "If you're a novice Linux player, or just want to get beyond the pretty graphical wrapper of your MacBook, put this book at the top of your list." -- Michael Larsen, TESTHEAD "I give this book to all my interns on day one. I find this to be an incredibly indispensable resource for teaching not only the basics of the Linux command line, but also anybody looking to get into information security. It's wildly comprehensive without being overwhelming. It does a great job of introducing a basic command, showing you all of the options on how to use the command, and a lot of examples and practical stories to back them up." --Matt Barnett, Chief Strategist and CoFounder, SEVN-X "If you want to . . . become a Linux expert, I would recommend a book The Linux Command Line by William Shotts. This book is so simple and gave me a lot of knowledge on Linux." --Untamed Coder "A great way to learn some tips on working with those HUGE log files that are critical to cyber defense." --Mark Jeanmougin, @markjx01 "The author takes you from your very first terminal keystrokes to writing full programs using a Linux shell or command line." --Xtreme Pentesting, @xtremepentest " The Linux Command Line by William Shotts will always be my fav book about #bash scripting! It's absolutely amazing! Every time I read it again I learn something new... And I'm definitely in love with all the books published by No Starch Press!!" --Luisa Donato, @Luisa_Donato Publisher Marketing: You've experienced the shiny, point-and-click surface of your Linux computer--now dive below and explore its depths with the power of the command line. The Linux Command Line takes you from your very first terminal keystrokes to writing full programs in Bash, the most popular Linux shell (or command line). Along the way you'll learn the timeless skills handed down by generations of experienced, mouse-shunning gurus: file navigation, environment configuration, command chaining, pattern matching with regular expressions, and more. In addition to that practical knowledge, author William Shotts reveals the philosophy behind these tools and the rich heritage that your desktop Linux machine has inherited from Unix supercomputers of yore. As you make your way through the book's short, easily-digestible chapters, you'll learn how to:
