Available books
Linux learning titles
Linux is an open-source operating system family used on personal computers, servers, embedded devices, and many other systems. Linux for Beginners is the general-purpose starting point for learners who want to build core Linux knowledge.
Einführung in Linux covers a Linux introduction in German. It is aimed at beginners who prefer to learn in that language. The two books address the same broad subject area, but they differ in language availability: Linux for Beginners is the general fundamentals choice, while Einführung in Linux is the German-language option.
Virtualization titles
Virtualization allows one computer to run one or more virtual machines. A virtual machine is a software-based computer with its own operating system and applications.
- Getting Started with VMware Player introduces VMware Player, a desktop virtualization application for creating and running virtual machines. It is a suitable choice for a beginner practicing on a personal computer.
- Oracle VM VirtualBox Tutorial focuses on Oracle VM VirtualBox, virtualization software used to create and run virtual machines. It is another beginner-oriented desktop virtualization resource.
- VMware VCP5-DCV Study Guide is for certification candidates preparing for VCP5-DCV. The abbreviation means VMware Certified Professional 5 – Data Center Virtualization. Unlike the desktop-focused VMware Player and VirtualBox titles, this guide targets data-center virtualization certification preparation.
Networking certification title
CCENT means Cisco Certified Entry Networking Technician. ICND1 100-101 is the designation for a Cisco entry-level networking exam. CCENT ICND1 100-101 Cert Guide is therefore intended as an entry-level networking certification-preparation resource, rather than as a general virtualization or operating-system book.
Raspberry Pi title
Raspberry Pi is a small single-board computer commonly used for learning, programming, electronics, and practical projects. Raspberry Pi for Complete Beginners provides an accessible starting point for readers with no prior Raspberry Pi experience.
