Textbooks
Required:
Your UNIX: The Ultimate Guide Sumitabha Das (MacGraw-Hill, second
edition, 2006)
The Das book is written for instructional use. It has more and better
organzed examples than any other book along with more exercises.
Recommended:
UNIX Power Tools, Jerry Peek et al. (O'Reilly, 1993).
This is a comprehensive source of reference material and examples for UNIX
tools and facilities. Though all the material you will need for CS 9E
course assignments is (somewhere) in the Sobell book or in the 9E Study
Guide,is a valuable resource.
Your UNIX: The Ultimate Guide by Sumitabha Das (McGraw-Hill
2001)
The Das book was written for instructional use, and
has more and better organized examples than Sobell (our previous text),
along with many more
exercises. It also contains more advanced material (on Perl language on
the UNIX system administration) on which we might base modifications to 9E
or additional courses. A flaw is that the book covers material in a
different sequence than does Sobell, so more "jumping around" is
necessary.
ok is a valuable additional resource. Buy it at a bookstore.
