Praise for the First Edition: "This outstanding book ... gives the
reader robust concepts and implementable knowledge of this
environment. Graphical user interface (GUI)-based users and
developers do not get short shrift, despite the command-line
interface's (CLI) full-power treatment. ... Every programmer should
read the introduction's Unix/Linux philosophy section. ... This
authoritative and exceptionally well-constructed book has my
highest recommendation. It will repay careful and recursive study."
--Computing Reviews, August 2011 Mastering Modern Linux, Second
Edition retains much of the good material from the previous
edition, with extensive updates and new topics added. The book
provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to Linux concepts,
usage, and programming. The text helps the reader master Linux with
a well-selected set of topics, and encourages hands-on practice.
The first part of the textbook covers interactive use of Linux via
the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and the Command-Line Interface
(CLI), including comprehensive treatment of the Gnome desktop and
the Bash Shell. Using different apps, commands and filters,
building pipelines, and matching patterns with regular expressions
are major focuses. Next comes Bash scripting, file system
structure, organization, and usage. The following chapters present
networking, the Internet and the Web, data encryption, basic system
admin, as well as Web hosting. The Linux Apache MySQL/MariaDB PHP
(LAMP) Web hosting combination is also presented in depth. In the
last part of the book, attention is turned to C-level programming.
Topics covered include the C compiler, preprocessor, debugger, I/O,
file manipulation, process control, inter-process communication,
and networking. The book includes many examples and complete
programs ready to download and run. A summary and exercises of
varying degrees of difficulty can be found at the end of each
chapter. A companion website (http://mml.sofpower.com) provides
appendices, information updates, an example code package, and other
resources for instructors, as well as students.
