Linux Command Line: Beginners Guide to Learn Linux Commands and Shell Scripting Paperback – September 19, 2019

The "Linux Command Line: Beginners Guide to Learn Linux Commands and Shell Scripting" by David A. Williams attempts to introduce beginners to Linux commands and shell scripting. The book covers various aspects of the Linux shell, command line workings, environment, package management, environmental variables, and shell scripting. While the book offers a basic introduction, it is criticized for its numerous mistakes and lack of depth. The reviewer mentions that the book contains spelling and logical errors in the code samples, making it confusing for readers. Additionally, the text has typos and odd use of the English language, indicating a need for better editing. The electronic format also presents issues as the code samples are not displayed effectively on devices. While the book provides an overview of how Linux works, it lacks practical examples and does not sufficiently teach users how to use Linux effectively. Ultimately, while the book may be suitable for a free read on Kindle Unlimited, the reviewer suggests that beginner Linux users would benefit more from a book that focuses on how to use Linux effectively before delving into the internal workings of the operating system.
