From Amazon.co.uk

Learning Unix for Mac OS X is targeted towards Mac users who have migrated to Mac OS X, have no Unix experience, and want to understand why Unix geeks rave about the command line. The book focuses on the terminal application to access the command line and "introduces the basic system commands". For example, there is a whole chapter on how to navigate and create files.

Well written and easy to follow, the chapters are well structured with clear sub-categories containing useful examples, highlights, exercises and problems you may face. Users new to Unix should read the preface since it explains how Mac OS X is related within the Unix family and explains some Unix concepts such as multiuser and multiprocessing.

Learning Unix for Mac OS X is a great book for those with little or no Unix experience. The book does not go into serious detail regarding the various Unix commands--only a few arguments of each command are discussed. This is not necessarily a bad thing since it keeps the book short and easy to read, however more advanced readers may be disappointed if they are expecting a book that turns them into Unix geeks. Those users are recommend to see other Unix books from O'Reilly such as UNIX Power Tools, UNIX in a Nutshell and Using Csh and Tcsh. --Parvesh Chhibber --Ce texte provient d'une édition qui n'est plus publiée ou qui est non diponible.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A Great Starting Point, Mai 27 2003
In the vast world of Linux/UNIX, I found it hard to know where to start learning. I figured that since I knew a significant amount about OS X that this book might make for a good beginning level book. I was so right. For someone who knows absolutely nothing about UNIX commands, this book is for you. You will learn the absolute basics and nothing more. Keep that in mind: you will not learn anything beyond the basics. If you're looking for something a little more comprehensive, then look somewhere else. However, if you are looking for a short, basic introduction to the world of UNIX so you can get around, this book is definitely for you.

5.0étoiles sur 5 An excellent starting point for Unix novices, Mai 18 2003
Par Un client
I have recently fallen in love with Macs. I had been a Windows developer for 15 years. Occasionally I have had to poke around on the Solaris command line at work, but I am a Unix newbie. This book does a great job of laying out the basics of Unix for people who have little or no Unix experience. This book does not provide a "quick start". It does not go into excessive depth on Unix. But it does provide fundamental building blocks for expanding one's Unix knowledge. My suggestion to Unix novices: read this little book from cover to cover. Then you'll be able to take advantage of all the free articles and technical documentation that explain how to do the fun, tricky stuff.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Unix for people who already know Unix..., Mars 26 2003
Par J. Carson (NC United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
Dave Taylor and Brian Jepson, please take a pedagogy pill and call me in the morning... Sheesh, could they have made this any more obtuse? Purchase this book if you have a lot of time on your hands and/or enjoy learning things despite the best efforts of the author. To paraphrase Churchill: "Never have two guys taken so long to explain so little."

Unless you are a complete UNIX dummy, there is not much to expect (or benefit) from this book. Its meager 158 pages only succeeded in brushing around the very basics (and simple... Read more

4.0étoiles sur 5 VERY basic
This is a useful book for anyone who has no knowledge of UNIX commands, or whose knowledge is minimal. Otherwise, I would recommend "Mac OS X for UNIX Geeks" instead.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Incomplete and unsatisfying format
I was disappointed in this book, but maybe I expected too much from a low cost O'Reilly title. Generally, I have found them to be quite useful. Read more

3.0étoiles sur 5 Pretty good book for wading into the UNIX pool
