O’Reilly come out with some excellent titles with this one being no exception.

I may invest in a copy since my expertise is lacking, I keep getting errors similar to the one below:

paul@Linux-HP ~ $ cat april.1
cat: april.1: No such file or directory

Any ideas?

echo april.1 | cat

I got an advanced copy of the book
