Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I was wondering if it is possible to set UMASK dependant to a director y. For example, I would like to set /home/user to UMASK 077 and /srv/www/ to UMASK 002.
Is this possible? I think you can set each share with a different UMASK if you are using samba, but I am not. I will be connecting to these dirs by ssh and sftp.
Well, umask= is a mount option for some filesystems. Might be worth playing around with.
If a different user account will be logging in (via ssh) and accessing /home/user than the account that logs in and access /srv/www, you could always add the umask in their respective ~/.profile files.
