Learn the Power of Linux Commands
$24.95
Includes Book and Training CD

Learning Linux Commands is a process. As with any process you need to understand that it will not all come together the first day. In fact, employing Linux commands effectively is a process that you will begin to enjoy and find that you will use more once you get over the initial frustrations. The book and CD are designed to help you get over the major initial hurdles quickly. The book and CD are based on three categories of information. First, Factual Knowledge. In factual knowledge each of the commands will be listed with information regarding the major purpose of the command, available options and an example of how it is used. The second category of the book will be Practical Projects. Many people seem to want to learn commands but it is all too boring and it is difficult to find the right command for the right purpose. The Practical Projects will take a series of commands and illustrate how all of those commands work together to complete a project. An example would be all of the commands needed to setup networking on a computer. The final category is found on the CD that comes with the book. The CD provides Flash Movies with audio to illustrate how the commands work to accomplish the goals that you have at the terminal.

Unique Features of the Book and CD

1. Factual Knowledge
Factual Knowledge provides the foundation needed to understand the purpose of a command, the options that may be used with the command and also an example on how th ecommand is used in a real situation.

Examples

2. Practical Projects
One of the most frustrating aspects of learning commands is that it is irrelevant unless commands are placed in context. The Practical Projects section provides you with a group of commands in a context so that you may practice toward solutions of real problems.

Example

3. Flash Movies
The CD which is included in the book will work with any operating systme as the movies are built in flash and run in any browser.

Examples:
Your browser must have a flash plugin to view the example movies.
