Book Description

AN INTRODUCTION TO UNIX WITH X AND THE INTERNET is an up-to-date introduction to UNIX that provides complete yet concise coverage of UNIX operating system features and commands. The book covers current topics, such as the X graphical user interface, Internet navigation, the World Wide Web, and text formatting with LaTeX. UNIX utilities, shell-level programming, and C-level programming are covered as well. Coverage of both System V and Berkeley UNIX (BSD) makes the book useful on most current systems. A bound-in disk provides sample code and shell scripts suitable for UNIX systems and PCs. Professor Wang has written a number of successful titles, including C++ WITH OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING and AN INTRODUCTION TO ANSI C ON UNIX, as well as the new JAVA WITH OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING AND WORLD WIDE WEB APPLICATIONS.

4 out of 5 stars A very vague book..........2002-12-06

I ordered this book because I was taking a course on Unix... and once I got it, I realized that I wasted my money. I was expecting the 'with X' part to cover programming with X windows, or motif. It is just on how to run xterm pretty much. One of the key things that you will notice is that man pages are more informative than this book. For instance, the section on sed, awk, and grep. It is very vauge in covering regular expressions and use of any of the languages. Besides man pages, much of the information can be found on the internet as well. If you have no idea what a man page is, or how to even use telnet... then you should consider getting this book. For someone who needs to know how to login through telnet, or how to use chmod, then this book is fine. But for what I would consider an 'advanced' view of Unix, I would look toward the internet. So if you have used any *nix before, its pretty useless. Unless you have an anal professor who absolutely requires you buy this book, don't.

5 out of 5 stars Best Book on Unix out of the Seven I Own.......2002-07-26

If you're a beginner, an intermediate, or an expert, you'll
use this book. It won't gather dust on the shelf. Just look
at the table of contents and you'll want it. It also has the
most complete appendices of any book I've seen on the subject.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest book on UNIX for beginners.......2000-10-07

This book is used in 'UNIX & C' course in CSE dept. of Inha Univ. that I went to. I also read this book and I'm always read this book whenever necessary. There are several books about UNIX for beginning users in bookstores, I found that this book is by far the most informative, readable, helpful and well organized in both breadth and depth. All the other books looked just so so. APUE by R. Stevens has been very popular since that book is really great book, 'An introduction to Unix with X and the Internet' also should be very popular if many people know this book are available. Whenever I don't understand about some topic in Unix clearly, I read this book about that topic, get almost clear understandings, and finally I'm deeply impressed that this book is really great book. Both for beginners and for professionals, I think this book is really a must-have if one is concerned with Unix. I am also pleased that this great book is written by Asian person, knowing the fact that GRUs live everywhere in the world. ;-) About 550 pages of great information on Unix, this book should be retitled to 'Unix fundamentals bible'. Buy this book, and you won't regret. This book deserves its worth even if you are just having it, not reading steadily.
