3nice book to have...  May 11, 2008
its a nice book to have, but not very easy to understand..atleast its not for me

5Compact and concise  Nov 20, 2006
I use this book every day. It is the most complete reference on the Korn shell that I have ( about eleven ) and points out the differences between ksh versions and ksh and bash. There arn't any answers I didn't find in this book; when I looked for an answer or to refresh myself on a subject. A major difference between this and other books is that it also shows things that do not work or should not be used and shows why. There is no fluff in this book, it sticks to the facts and even the utilities that are included (and are more useful than most) are presented in a page, not a chapter. It is no bigger than a lot of other books on the subject, smaller than some, yet it covers subjects that the others don't even begin to touch on like dtksh, the posix shell, and how to extend ksh. It even squeezes in a quick reference showing the syntax of Unix commands that are used with the shell so that you can use them properly.
