Reviews

[Mark Murray · Rating 4 out of 5]

I needed a refresher on Unix and read through this book. Forgot to add it awhile back when I started it, but I finished it. Yes, it's dated (1999), but still a good book for those that want to catch up on long lost skills.

Reference reading

[feux d'artifice]

the thing with reference books is that you can go over the whole book, but it's the time that you spend using it as a reference that will tell you if it's a good reference book for you. will try to rate months from now to see how helpful this was in the long run.
I really like that after each chapter we get a list of resources to look more into a particular subject
