1) Learn AWK deeply, in which I will meticulously go through a copy of the original 1988 book. 2) Get better at Git. 3) Study and pass the RHCSA. 4) Get better at troubleshooting Linux servers. I can actually feel my skills improving when I

With a two-week vacation coming up, I am greatly looking forward to jump into this for the first time! Any tips for someone on their first go-around? (I've already got 'Be Patient' memorized)

That's entirely plausible. The next No Starch published book I read may also be terrible. But, I try to recommend what I can (that I've read) and allow readers (present and future) to make their own judgements. Best case scenario,

I think a good program, is like a good piece of art. You never really finish. You just satisfy the nagging feeling of incompleteness until you have exactly what you wanted (or hoped). And even if you don't finish, you've still tec
