Cool Qn there!
This is my 1st job as a Solaris Admin after graduation and it has been more than 2 years.

Like what zazzyboy said "the world's your oyster." in the UNIX world. Tks God, I didn't ended up as a developer like what I desired during school. (Now I write scripts to satisfy my own needs unlike app developer codes to satisfy others' needs.)

In 2 years I finished SCSA, SCNA, OCP and J2EE WCD. As a DBA/SA, really have to read a lot to get job done in the most efficient manner, else will find yourself re-inventing the wheel many times.

The books I have cleared and recommended are:
Brian Wong - Configuration & Capacity Planning
Adrian Cockroft - Sun Perf and Tuning
Tanenbaum - Modern OS
Terry Quatrani - Visual Modelling with Rational Rose & UML
David B. Little and David A. Chapa - Implementing Backup and Recovery
Richard J. Niemiec - Oracle9i Perf Tuning
Tons of SUN Blueprints - http://www.sun.com/blueprints/online.html

"Stevens book, UNIX Network Programming" is my next item. (Not very good with socket programming.)

Other than have to spend a lot of time reading, I dun have much complaints about being a SA/DBA. And it gets more fun when you have to spend budgets on improving the existing data center infrastructure.

Have not look back since then.

There is a list of these books, some with extensive reviews, at http://books.perl.org/ .

Higher-Order Perl: http://hop.perl.plover.com/ Writing Perl Modules for CPAN: http://www.apress.com/resource/freeebook/9781590590188 Other interesting, non-Perl books You might notice several familiar Perl concepts in this collection of ACM columns from Jon Bentley. The similarity to the title of the major Perl book (which came later) is not completely accidental: Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley ISBN 978-0-201-65788-3 [2 edition, October 1999] More Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley ISBN 0-201-11889-0 [January 1988] A note on freshness Each version of Perl comes with the documentation that was current at the time of release. This poses a problem for content such as book lists. There are probably very nice books published after this list was included in your Perl release, and you can check the latest released version at http://perldoc.perl.org/perlbook.html . Some of the books we've listed appear almost ancient in internet scale, but we've included those books because they still describe the current way of doing things. Not everything in Perl changes every day. Many of the beginner-level books, too, go over basic features and techniques that are still valid today. In general though, we try to limit this list to books published in the past five years. Get your book listed If your Perl book isn't listed and you think it should be, let us know. perl v5.14.2 2011-09-26 PERLBOOK(1)
