Learn Linux Quickly

A Comprehensive Guide for Getting Up to Speed on the Linux Command Line (Ubuntu) (Crash Course with Hands-On Project)

De: Code Quickly, Paul H. Bartley

Narrado por: Helpful Matthew

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.

Learn Linux Quickly 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, and more.

In addition to that practical knowledge, we reveal the philosophy behind these tools and the rich heritage that your desktop Linux machine has inherited from Unix mainframes of yore.

As you make your way through the book's short, easily digestible chapters, you'll learn how to:

• Create and delete files, directories, and symlinks
• Administer your system, including account creation, package installation, and process management
• Use standard input and output, redirection, and pipelines
• Edit files with Vim, the world's most popular text editor
• Write shell scripts to automate common or boring tasks
• Slice and dice text files with grep, sed, uniq, and sort

Once you overcome your initial "shell shock", you'll find that the command line is a natural and expressive way to communicate with your computer. Just don't be surprised if your mouse starts to gather dust.

Hands-on, there's no substitute.

In considering any programming task its best to dive in, and keystroke. The strength of this book is it restricts any chapter to a few key points and has exercises in each. Its a good way to start and doesn't assume depth of UNIX or scripting. If you've handled the DOS prompt you can learn from this book.
