Chuck Joiner, Joe Kissell

Joe Kissell is back with the book that so many have been waiting for: his second edition of Take Control of The Mac Command Line with Terminal. Now current with Yosemite, the book takes you into the Terminal, where text-only commands are typed out to do powerful things to your Mac OS. Joe explains why Terminal is important, what you can do there, and how you can harness its power by sharing some real-world recipes that are best or more easily performed from the command line.
