Unix: A History and a Memoir. Since its creation in a Bell Labs attic in 1969, the Unix operating system has spread far beyond anything its creators could have imagined. It has led to the development of a great deal of innovative software, influenced myriad programmers, and changed the path of computer technology. This book is part history and part memoir. It tells the story of the origin of Unix, explaining what Unix is, how it came about, and why it matters. Accessible to non-specialists, the book is written for anyone with an interest in computing or the history of inventions. Brian Kernighan is the coauthor of a dozen books on computing, including "The C Programming Language" and "The Unix Programming Environment". For 30 years, he was a member of the original Unix group in the Computing Science Research Center at Bell Labs, present at the creation, though not responsible for it. " |
