NOTEWhen editing a configuration file like this one, it’s very easy to acciden-
tally delete an angle bracket without noticing and break the software
as a result. Therefore, keep a backup of your known-good configura-
tion file! It’s much easier to fall back to a good version and try again
than to stare at a broken configuration for hours trying to find what
you missed before. If you’re on a Unix-like operating system, I strongly
recommend using the RCS revision control system for managing con-
figuration files. It’s been used for decades so most of the bugs are gone,
and it’s free.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.
Amir M.

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
