Mona Hosseini, grad student in Genomic Medicine and Statistics at the University of Oxford Thank you for the time and art that you spent to create such a clarifying text. I am definitely more confident now in facing the Mac command line. I found answers to many questions in your book, and I enjoyed reading it. Joe includes 66 real-life “recipes” for tasks that are best done from the command line, as well as directions for working with permissions, carrying out grep-based searches, creating shell scripts, and installing Unix software.

With this 228-page book, you’ll become comfortable working on the Mac’s command line, starting with the fundamentals and adding more advanced topics as your knowledge increases.
