Peter knows how to teach !
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I am an Oracle DBA. So far sed is enough for my file processing chores.Since I may need AWK later on, I am very interested in learing AWK now.Thanks a great deal, Peter ! I bought the book yesterday. It cutdown my fear about AWK. The way Peter shows AWK makes it easy to understand ! Many people are great programmers but to write a book, you MUST be a be a great TEACHER besides a great expert in this field. Pater is the right one.I had this in my mind on my way home:AWK is not hard , all you need is to have Peter as the teacher !Peter: What is your teaching background if you don't mind ?Prentice Hall: I love your 'interactive workbook', I bought almost half of all your titiles ! Thank you for choosing excellent teachers to write those books ! This is an absolutelly successsful project! I hope to see more books like this !
The Best AWK and UNIX training manual!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
As a computer consultant, I sometimes need to train 'folks' that haven't had too much time in front of a computer. For those souls that have grown used to Windows, UNIX has the potential to strike fear in a way that I've seldom seen duplicated. This text offers the BEST environment for teaching UNIX and AWK that I have seen. There are UNIX and AWK reference books galore, but none of them take a systematic approach to TEACHING the subject, (no, not even teach yourself, or the Dummies versions). This book reviews each command and ends with a generous question section. (Not just one or two questions at a high level, and not just one really complicated question - the questions build very nicely to the hardest issues.) If you are looking for a reference book, this will do, though there are others that I would prefer, but if you are learning UNIX and AWK on your own, or looking to teach it to someone else, this book gets my highest recommendation. I have given it now to everyone I have trained and all have had great success with it. I would feel entirely comfortable handing this book to a trainee, and with no further instruction allowing them to code when they've finished. " An absolute gift"
