2. Excellent book on Linux!
   I have been using Linux since the mid 90’s and can say for certain that the author really knows his stuff. He presents the material in an easy to read and follow format, and uses good examples. I didn’t find any mistakes either which is rare. He also has a great sense of humor, and this made the book even more fun to read. I highly recommend it!

3. Know Linux, Know Scripting,Know your power!
   The Ultimate Linux Shell Scripting, is an extremely fascinating read. So let’s get right to the contents of the book. First the book sets you up for success by providing you with examples of code, that you will use with the hands on labs that personally I found to be intriguing. This allows the reader to jump into the thick of Linux from the start. The labs are presented so the reader can have a better understanding of the processes and code automation, the rich contents covers everything from learning the shell and shell emulators to using Powershell on Linux and macOS. This allows the reader the opportunity to explore Linux using several different flavors. Starting with the shell you will learn simple commands that will show you the difference between the regular user and the root user. Then we step into commands and how to leverage them in your favor. By automating some Linux scripts you will be able to customize your environment and do global configurations.The book also allows you to create basic shell scripts, and filter them and the steps you through advanced scripts. This read is full of examples and illustrations that show how the script commands are used and the end result you should be seeing.At the end of each chapter there are review questions to make certain that you have maintained the correct information.If you are new to Linux, attempting to get your certification or are a seasoned Linux user this is one book to add to you’re personal Linux war chest. I added it to mine!

4. Everything you may want to know to really master Shell scripting
   This book is probably one of, if not the most, comprehensive of all on the capabilities of scripting on Linux.It covers all the common scripting shells, even PowerShell (who knew it would be possible to run Microsoft’s shell on Linux?!), methods of securing scripts, text manipulation, advanced scripting techniques including automation, shell configuration, error handling, piping and much more.I especially liked the chapters on image manipulations and creating user interfaces.Be aware that this book assumes you are scripting for an on-prem resident machine and it is probably the only shortcoming I can mention.
