The History of C

I wrote my ‘hello world’ in C. Around 8 years back, as a mechanical engineering student. Since then I have spent 3 years as a hard core programmer in SQL/PLSQL and java. I have written lot of code in php/mysql. Funny thing is I have earned handsomely through the programmes writeen in these languages. All that C ever gave me was a prize from azeolots (“A white cap that is still with me”). But the fact is nothing excites me as much as the prospect of writing code in C. Sadly I do not get much chance of working on C nowadays.

Still was going through some articles about C and chanced upon this article on Dennis Ritchie’s homepage. Thought that would put it up here for all the diwanas of C. Happy Reading

Btw if any of you know of a “I Love C” group on orkut, please let me know.
