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.
