This text consists of 30 sessions that teach the core concepts of UNIX over a weekend. It focuses on the standard core UNIX OS and teaches the basics needed to perform system administration and programming in the UNIX environment.

Topics covered include the many flavors of UNIX; manipulating files; writing shell scripts; batch editing and programming with awk; Perl programming; Apache Web Server; and Internet security. The features of a "Weekend Crash Course" are: each session takes 30 minutes to complete; four time-to-go icons ("30 Min To Go," "20 Min To Go," "10 Min To Go," and "Done!") gauge the reader's progress through any given session; "Quiz Yourself" questions (at the end of each session) and "Part Review" questions allow the reader to review what they have just learnedl; and skill assessment software on the CD-ROM helps readers gauge their skill level before and after reading this book. The CD-ROM contains skills assessment software based on the sessions in the book; UNIX tools; and sample scripts from the book.
