Bulletproof unix

For one-semester, undergraduate/graduate-level courses in Introductory Unix, Introductory Unix Programming, and the Unix Operating System.

This accessible introduction to Unix assumes no prior knowledge of Unix and gives students all the prerequisite skills and historical knowledge they need for each new topic. (For example, sed and grep are taught before awk, which is based on those two tools). Bulletproof Unix features a personal, interactive writing style and provides students with sufficient depth for understanding concepts without burdening them with too much detail.
