Do you want to take your knowledge of Linux to the next level by learning everything there is to know about Linux command line, so you can talk directly to your system and stop relying only on the GUI?
And are you looking for a book that is beginner friendly to ensure you don't feel so lost in the examples/illustrations but can follow every everything to actually do the stuff that's mostly reserved for pros that know what they are doing?
If you've answered YES, keep reading...
Over time, Linux has undergone many changes and has evolved to be the world's most used platform for internet servers. For instance, Amazon and Google run on Linux. As more and more servers and people opt for Linux, it gives rise to the need for most of the tech community to be fluent with it. Fluency with the powerful operating system however means that you have to shun the use of the graphical user interface - what most of the other popular operating systems are based on and switch to the command-line interface. This is the only way to have full control of Linux.
This guide will help you learn everything there is to know about the Linux command line and help you familiarize yourself with a wide array of useful commands - all without assuming that you have prior experience with Linux.
Based on the fact that you are reading this, it is clear that you too have been caught up with the bug of going mouse-less and you've probably heard of the potential that the Linux Command prompt holds, and you are probably wondering....
Which Linux version/distro is best for a beginner?
How do I launch Linux Command Line and how do I get started with it?
What commands can I run on Linux Command Line and what do they do?
What can I do with Linux command line?
How do I perfect my craft?
If my guess is right, and these are some of the questions preventing you from getting started with Linux Command Line, then this book is what you have to get as it answers the all in a straightforward and beginner-friendly language to allow you to get the most out of Linux Command-Line.
With fully explained examples created using the latest and most beginner friendly distribution, you can bet that you will soon have a good grasp of the practical application of commands in automating many of the tasks that you do so often! Whether you are a beginner or an intermediate, you will find this book very useful.
