Prentice Hall publishes "A Pratical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming"

Prentice Hall Professional Technical Reference  [PH PTR] Announces
Publication of Latest Book from Acclaimed Author Mark Sobell: "A Practical
Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming"
 
Upper Saddle River, NJ (July, 2005)--- Prentice Hall Professional Technical
Reference [PH PTR], the leading publisher of advanced technology books,
announces the release of Author Mark Sobell's latest book, titled: "A
Pratical Guide to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming". [Prentice
Hall PTR, copyright 2005, Mark Sobell, ISBN 0-13-147823-0].
 
Book Summary [from the book's back cover] :
To be truly productive with Linux, you need to thoroughly master the shells
and the command line. Until now, you had to buy two books to gain that
mastery: a tutorial on fundamental Linux concepts and techniques, plus a
separate reference. Worse, most Linux references offer little more than
prettied-up man pages. Now, there's a far better solution. Renowned Linux
expert Mark Sobell has brought together comprehensive, insightful guidance
on the tools system administrators, developers, and power users need most,
and an outstanding day-to-day reference, both in the same book. This book is
100 percent distribution and release agnostic: You can use it on any Linux
system, now and for years to come. What's more, it's packed with hundreds of
high-quality examples. This is Linux from the ground up: the clearest
explanations and most useful knowledge about everything from filesystems to
shells, editors to utilities, and programming tools to regular expressions.
And when you need instant answers, you'll constantly turn to Sobell's
comprehensive command reference section-organized and tabbed for easy, fast
access!

Early Reader Review:  

"Mark Sobell has cooked up the perfect reference book for anyone using the
Linux shell. Subjects are covered in straight-forward snapshots for quick
lookup and also with greater depth for educational use. "A Practical Guide
to Linux Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming" will make an excellent
addition to any Linux user's bookshelf." -- Chris Bergeron, Editor in Chief,
