--- Over het boek (foto 1): Unix Shell Programming Tools ---

Complete--This title is the most comprehensive collection of shell programming tools available anywhere. It provides UNIX programmers the tools necessary to unlock the power of the UNIX operating system using literals, variables, operators, functions, constructs, and commands. Practical programming in C, Perl, Tcl--The book uses the key programming languages that UNIX programmers are familiar with in developing the tools. Many different UNIX shells--This is the first book to collect and distribute them on a CD-ROM. All of the code on the CD is "open" for modification, and customization. Tied in with the series--This title is completely cross-referenced with the other UNIX Tools books in the series.

Amazon.com Review

David Medinets's Unix Shell Programming Tools surveys the commands and code elements of the three scripting languages that are most commonly used in Unix: the Bash shell, Perl, and the Tool Command Language (Tcl). The book catalogs each of the different languages and uses short, descriptive code samples to demonstrate standard usage for most of the items discussed.

Medinets dedicates nearly half of the book to an ample discussion of the Bash shell and creates special chapters focused on the constituent elements of shell programming, including the creation of variables and procedures. While discussions on Perl and Tcl are separated into distinct chapters, each has fewer code samples to illustrate variations on code writing and usage. Instead, the author supplements the discussions on Perl and Tcl with dictionary-entry-style charts describing each language component by component.

Later chapters in the book examine debugging and pattern matching in all three languages and include a Unix command list. The accompanying CD-ROM includes shareware tools, utilities, and all of the code samples shown in the book. --Ryan Kuykendall

Review

"...a superb book and demonstrates one of the best approaches to learning shell programming that I have read." --Elizabeth Zinkann, SysAdmin Journal, October 1999

Great book, and good examples. [2000-01-07]

This book is very well done, and has many good code examples. I highly recommend it.

Objective

To work as a team leader on complex projects using Java or Oracle in the District of Columbia or Northern Virginia.

Summary

I am highly-experienced with Java, Oracle, and ColdFusion. While at Cordiem, Inc, I architected a complex Data Model to hold over 6 million airline part master records and over 20 million airline inventory records. While at onProject, Inc, I reduced their issues list by 50% and introduced the Nested Tree Model to improve software efficiency. While at Toysrus.com, I worked with In-Memory Data Structures to create an efficient catalog-based e-commerce application for the 3rd most visited website in 1999.

Professional Experience

• 8/2001 2/2003 Cordiem, Inc.

Consultant, Lead Architect & Developer Arlington, VA

Improved team efficiency by providing Oracle 9i packages, mentoring email messages, and a framework to synthesize ColdFusion templates (for the User Interface) and WebLogic EJBs (for the Business Logic) into a unified system to emphasize the strengths of each technology.

- Developed data model holding information about Airplane Inventory; including Part Masters, Serialized and non-Serialized parts. This data model proved efficient at handling over 6 million part master and 20 million inventory records.

- Wrote Oracle 9i packages to handle all insert, update, and delete tasks to improve efficiency of ColdFusion application.

- Wrote Java servlet to mediate between ColdFusion and WebLogic.

- Extended the Struts Validator to handle Field definition, Field Groups and Form-level validation.

- Used Ant and xDoclet to create EJBs on Jboss and WebLogic.

Since those days, he has spent time debugging Emacs on UNIX machines, working on VAXen, and messing around with DOS microcomputers. David is married to Kathryn and lives in Northwest New Jersey. He runs Eclectic Consulting and has co-authored Special Edition, Using Lotus Notes Release 4 (Que), Special Edition, Using Turbo C++ 4.5 for Windows (Que), Microsoft Office 95 Unleashed (SAMS), and Visual Basic Unleashed (SAMS) among others.
