I'm pleased to announce the publication of "Teach Yourself UNIX In A Week" from SAMS/Prentice-Hall. This is a new addition to an admittedly crowded market, but with a few differences that might just pique your interest... Most importantly, I have gone to great lengths to include the *output* of all commands discussed in the book (it's amazing to me how many intro books show users the command to type, but then don't show what'll be displayed as a result), and I also focus on the most important and common flags and commands rather than an encyclopaedic listing of flags or rewritten man pages: there's no reason to pay for either of the latter styles of book! "Teach Yourself UNIX In A Week" is over 700 pages, quite extensive (it includes a long discussion of Usenet, gopher, and FTP, for example, as well as a foray into programming and Unix programming tools), and is just showing up on bookstore shelves: I've seen it in one store (Borders), but not two others I've checked locally (notably B. Dalton). The full citation: Taylor, Dave, "Teach Yourself UNIX In A Week", SAMS/Prentice-Hall, 1994, $28.00 US/$36.95 CAN. 714 pages, including two appendices and an extensive glossary. ISBN: 0-672-30464-3 [for both BSD & SVR4] Questions? Thoughts? Interested in a review or evaluation copy for professional purposes? Drop me a note! Thanks for your time. -- Dave Taylor Internet Traveller taylor@netcom.com
