Hello!

I am pleased to announce my thirteenth ebook Computing from the Command Line. This is the longest book I've published so far (203 pages) and it took me more than 7 months to complete the first version.

This ebook aims to teach Linux command line tools and Shell Scripting for beginner to intermediate level users. The main focus is towards managing your files and performing text processing tasks. Plenty of examples are provided to make it easier to understand a particular tool and its various features. Exercises at the end of chapters will help you practice what you've learned and solutions are provided for reference. I hope this ebook would make it much easier for you to discover CLI tools, features and learning resources than my own blundering experience.
