Great Book [2007-04-06]

Not very often do you come across a book that is so informative and well put together. I actually checked this book out from the school library and fell in love with it after it held my hand through some relatively advanced system administration tasks. I would recommend this book to anyone that administers Unix machines. The only downside is that it is kind of dated (but not outdated).

Matthew Hartman [source: https--www.amazon.com]

An introductory book [2000-01-14]

This is the first book I bought for learning UNIX. I must say that I don't have any experience on UNIX before. I believe this is an introductory book rahter than the "intermediate to advanced" as claimed by the auothor. It really talks about UNIX, but it talks about many thing (internet, screen editors, etc) that relate to other OS as well (Mac, Windows NT, etc). I believe this book is for those readers who don't know anything about UNIX (like me), but definitely not for "intermediate to advanced user". A point to mention is that shell script is introduced at very beginning and this will confuse the beginners much (me again =).

Superb. Author certainly know's his material [1998-10-14]

This is all I need to understand UNIX concepts. Well organized and extremely well-written. No cutesy "look at me" prose - just straightforward information with a lot of the author's personal zest! I loved it.

--- Over (foto 2): James C., Jr. Armstrong ---

James C. Armstrong, Jr. is a 20-year Unix veteran; his first exposure to Unix was back in the mid-70s when his father showed him the system he used at Bell Labs. At Duke University, James sought out opportunities to learn Unix as an undergraduate, as he felt it was the future of computing.

James graduated from Duke in 1982, and attended the University of St. Andrews for two more years of graduate work before deciding to return to industry. He's worked at Bell Labs, Tandem, and Netscape, as well as being involved with several start-ups. He's currently at AOL after its acquisition of Netscape.
