I'm a very amateur programmer and recently started learning rust. I started reading the standard rust book but was browsing Amazon for some other books. I'm seeing so many books published in the past year or two. I bought one:

Functional programming with rust by Danny Lehman

It is self published with poor formatting and layout. The language in it is rather repetitive and I'm suspecting it is mostly written using AI.

I found one specific author, Julian Lornfeld, who has nearly 50 published books on Amazon in the past year..

Hello All

I am someone who graduated some time back and was not able to score their first job in the field. I am recently getting back into programming a bit more as a hobby. In particular I am toying around with Rust and a bit of C#.

Was wondering what books you all used for data and algo class? It would be good if you know some with those languages in mind, but otherwise just a book that is more generic would be great too.

This book is extremely readable and gives a very good introduction to the various standard Unix shell commands (grep, sed, awk, tr, sort to name but a few) and how to tie them together to do useful things. It's very suitable if you have some experience with the command line at the level of individual commands but now want to see how to do construct more interesting pipelines and scripts. It includes an introduction to regular expressions. The fact that the book is already 20 years certainly means that some explanations and approaches are outdated, but since shell programming is at the core about text processing, almost all contents of the book are still highly relevant today.
