Chose this book for a class in bioinformatics,pros: great range of topics covered: bash shell, git, ssh, working with data, data compressioncons: the author is a little long winded and and it does not have great examples

Everything is followed through step-by-step and doesn't leave you wondering why something was done, while at the same time it doesn't keep teaching you past commands unnecessarily.
