Save when you buy this two book bundle - Linux for Beginners AND
Command Line Kung Fu Linux for Beginners information: If you want

Knowing where to start when learning a new skill can be a
challenge, especially when the topic seems so vast. There can be so
much information available that you can't even decide where to
start. Or worse, you start down the path of learning and quickly
discover too many concepts, commands, and nuances that aren't
explained. This kind of experience is frustrating and leaves you
with more questions than answers.
Linux for Beginners doesn't make any assumptions about your
background or knowledge of Linux. You need no prior knowledge to
benefit from this book. You will be guided step by step using a
logical and systematic approach. As new concepts, commands, or
jargon are encountered they are explained in plain language, making
it easy for anyone to understand. Here is what you will learn by

information: Become a Linux Ninja with Command Line Kung Fu Do you
think you have to lock yourself in a basement reading cryptic man
pages for months on end in order to have ninja like command line
skills? In reality, if you had someone share their most powerful
command line tips, tricks, and patterns you'd save yourself a lot
of time and frustration. What if you could look over the shoulder
of a good friend that just happened to be a command line guru? What
if they not only showed you the commands they were using, but why
they were using them and exactly how they worked? And what if that
friend took the time to write all of it down so you can refer to it
whenever you liked? Well, a friend did just that. Command Line Kung
Fu is packed with dozens of tips and over 100 practical real-world
examples. You won't find theoretical examples in this book. The
examples demonstrate how to solve actual problems and accomplish
worthwhile goals. The tactics are easy to find, too. Each chapter
covers a specific topic and groups related tips and examples
together. For example, if you need help extracting text from a file
look in the "Text Processing and Manipulation" chapter. Also, a
comprehensive index is included. If you want to find every example
where a given command is used -- even if it's not the main subject
of the tip -- look in the index. It will list every single place in
the book where that command appears.
