All popular ebooks are in :http://www.itebooks.net/category-index.jsp

You claimed your site had free books, yet your popular books are not free. Please be a little more informative next time rather than baiting users to your site. No one likes a spammer. It's obvious you just registered here to plug, but the least you can do is act humane.

yes,online ebooks it outdated,but the ebooks at ftp site NOT outdated

How do we get to your FTP server? I did not see instructions for access.

Not a bad resource, but a lot of the books are outdated. While browsing, I did not find anything new or "most popular" as you put it. Just my opinion. I'll let the users here decide. It's still a good resource so I'll let your plug stay.

This book is excellent:

Sams Teach Yourself Shell Programming in 24 Hours (2nd Edition)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672323583/qid=1034404576/sr=2-3/ref=sr_2_3/102-8089820-6681729

It received good reviews. Here's my personal review from Amazon.com:

This is probably one of the best books by Sams that I've read. If you want to start shell programming, you've picked up the perfect book, even if you're new to Unix. It starts off by first getting you familiar with the basic Unix commands: ls, pwd, cp, mv, cat, etc. and telling you the basics of Unix and Shells. Then it goes over file systems and modifying attributes. Later when you're comfortable, it holds your hand through the shell programming syntax, logic, substititution, regular expressions, and essential tools such as awk and sed. This book contains other gems and snippets that have helped me through many projects. Overall good buy

If you want to learn Perl, I suggest "Beginning Perl by Simon Cozens, Peter Wainwright."

I prefer Wrox books over O'Reilly because Wrox tends to be more down to earth and friendlier when learning the material. O'Reilly books on the other hand, aren't as so... however they make good references. Also, most of the time Wrox books have more pages for the same price and are more visual (Wrox books contain more screenshots). In all the O'Reilly books that I've seen, most of it is text, and use very little diagrams.

That's ok. You don't have to agree with me. Just keep in mind that when you get older, you thoughts about life change. I'm 21 right now. I'm telling you this because I felt the same way you did when I was your age. Exactly the same. Why the hell did I have to know Avogadro's Number? Why did I have to calculate the number of moles in a substance? I could care less. And to tell you the truth, I still don't give a damn. But I still have a feeling of satisfaction that I survived through all that stuff and now I'm smarter. In the real world, when you go for a job interview, you have to know a little bit of everything else besides what you're going into. If you just know about your field, and are a dud about everything else, I'm sorry, then some other know-it-all-pencil-pushing geek will take your job.
