This book is the full three volumes of the successful, and well-reviewed, e-book series of the same name, re-published for print. This book introduces the Windows command line, or "cmd line," and batch script with a practical step-by-step approach. It starts with simple examples, explanations and exercises. As the book progresses, it guides the reader through using new commands as well as the techniques to combine them into effective batch scripts. Examples, explanations, and exercises (with answers) are provided throughout. While this book is in a course format, the sections on each command are designed to be independent of each other, allowing the reader to skip ahead and try out examples for a later command if, for example, they already know how to use an earlier one. Look inside!
