There are no required texts for this course. In the spirit of Unix, I will generally only post things that are available for free. The internet at large contains more than enough to get you through this course, and beyond. There are also too many books to choose from, each of which have their own specialty, flare, and usefulness.
You are not expected to read anything on this page, though I will be putting various references to supplement what is covered in class as we continue. They may be helpful in clarifying, or at the very least give more details than I have covered.
This page will be updated from time to time as the course continues, I will try and keep related topics in sections.
- The Unix wikipedia page has a huge amount of information, and more history than I could ever provide you with.
- Eric S. Raymond gives an excellent overview of What Unix Gets Right. The other sections of his book may not be as informative for you at the beginning of this course.
