How-To Geek

Im new to the command line in windows but have some Knowledge . Does anyone think I should buy Microsoft® Windows® Command-Line Administrator's Pocket
Consultant or should I get "windows Command line 2 by William R Stanek.

I know some books has updates and windows command line 2 may still have/info that will include XP And win 8 maybe.

Had a look at the indexes. Neither book is completely up to date. The first one does include XP. The second added Vista but do not see W7 orW8 listed. Unless I missed it. If just for a learning getting aquainted type thing I would go for the lowest price book. Can always get the other later. My opinion only, others may have a different outlook.

There are certainly lots of websites where this information is available free. Just Google your questions. To me that's easier (and cheaper) than a book and is all encompassing.

@Xhi, That's true if you know what to ask.

raphoenix you have 4 books if your counting the one above the three. if not I notice windows power shell only besides win 8 and 7.

this is still ok without reading the command-line I take ?

Let us know how you like the book or books, or online search.
