Title: Sorry, but this book was awful
Review: I wanted to learn Korn Shell programming, so a coworker recommended "Learning the Korn Shell." Big mistake, although I have since forgiven him! I was driven to tears by its lack of examples and corresponding output, meandering disorganization, and dull-as-dirt prose. Having the unusual distinction of possessing both literature and computer science degrees, I am a very tough "critic" of books like these that do not present the material in a clear, organized, terse, and understandable fashion. The bottom line is that I could not learn the Korn Shell from reading this book. Instead, I highly recommend Barry Rosenberg's KornShell Programming Tutorial.
