UNIX
MIGHT SEEM CRYPTIC AND COMPLEX, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY!
Unix is
not a piece of software so much as a set of concepts, a way of looking at and solving
problems. Think Unix teaches how to use Unix effectively for everyday tasks by teaching
the design model. Think Unix takes an approach analogous to that of a grammar book. Rather
than teaching individual words or phrases tike most books. Think Unix teaches the set of
logical structures.
Think
Unix is a succinct introduction to Unix for advanced computer users that teaches the
basics but also provides a framework for additional learning. Myriad examples help you
team individual commands. Practice problems and suggested exercises teach the practical
side of Unix.
Readers
who are lost at the Unix command prompt can learn subsystems that are specific to the Unix
flavor. You will not team just the simple commands that every Unix book contains, instead,
you wilt find the conceptual underpinnings and theories common to virtually alt f Unix
systems, components, and software packages.
