I agree Graham, an excellent book with almost everything.I recently purchased the book after getting the BBB a few weeks prior and as mentioned it covers all most everything. I was a little disappointed in the lack of python programming and that the primary PC supporting the book was using Windows which I don't have. I am using Ubuntu 15.04 on my desktop and sometimes hesitate if I am nor sure if the command(s) listed in the various chapters are for the BBB or desktop. Also, the book mentions what looks like a URL: tiny.cc/ebb101 . This doesn't seem to connect to anything?
