Hello!
I am pleased to announce a new version of my CLI text processing with GNU Coreutils ebook. This ebook will help you learn 20+ specialized text processing commands provided by the coreutils package.
This book heavily leans on examples to present features one by one. Exercises at the end of chapters will help you practice what you’ve learned and solutions are also provided for reference. External links are provided for further reading.

I would highly appreciate it if you’d let me know how you felt about this book. It could be anything from a simple thank you, pointing out a typo, mistakes in code snippets, which aspects of the book worked for you (or didn’t!) and so on. Reader feedback is essential and especially so for self-published authors.
Happy learning :)
I feel almost obliged to ask, do you work on ItsFOSS, OmgUbuntu or one of the other major Linux publications, as I think I’ve seen your name somewhere?
I’m self-published and haven’t worked for other publications. Sometimes, my submissions reach HN front page, so you might have seen there or because others picked it up from there and shared around elsewhere.
