ed is a powerful line text editor for the Linux and Unix-like systems.
It was one of the first standard Unix text editor developed in 1969 by
Ken Thompson. Much older and legacy Unix like system only shipped with
ed for the rescue purpose. There was no vi. So learning ed might be a
good idea. A low-level understanding of ed editor helps when one uses
a high-level application such as vi or vim. The "Ed Mastery" book
teaches you how to use the ed and forgotten art of Unix where the
line-oriented paradigm is the only option. The author describe book
as, "If you don't know ed, you're not a real sysadmin. Forty years
after ed's introduction, author Michael W Lucas has finally unlocked
the mysteries of ed for everyone. With Ed Mastery, you too can become
a proper Unix sysadmin."
