Brian W. Kernighan

Unix Programming Environment (Prentice-Hall Software Series)

Brian W. Kernighan, Rob Pike

Prentice Hall, 1984

Great book on the foundations of the UNIX environment
In spite of its advanced age, this book is still relevant and explains many topics better than much newer books on the various flavors of UNIX. Although there are better books on the specific flavors of UNIX available today, no other book does as good a job of ...

The Practice of Programming (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series)

Brian W. Kernighan, Rob Pike

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1999

Great Book!!!
This book is perfect for any computer engineer who wants to get more information about programming.

The Elements of Programming Style

Brian W. Kernighan, P. J. Plauger

Computing Mcgraw-Hill, 1978

Some good rules for us all, still valid after so many years
I think this little book is still relevant today, over thirty years after it first appeared. Yes, some people claim that computer programming is taught a little better today, and we all learn better habits. Actually, I'm not sure how true that is. People may be ...

The AWK Programming Language

Alfred V. Aho, Brian W. Kernighan, ...

Addison Wesley, 1988

Amazing little language and book that will grow with you
In Unix today, several scripting languages exist: awk, perl, tcl and python. Awk is a small, easy-to-learn, yet powerful programming language, and is language of choice for quick, think- and analyze-on-the-fly tasks. This book is written by the inventors of this ...

C Programming Language (2nd Edition) (Prentice Hall Software)

Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie

Prentice Hall PTR, 1988

The Must-have
I've read the first edition, and this is a must. It doesn't cover some of the details of ISO/ansi 99, but those can be found elsewhere. What can't be found is the way the authors drag even the beginning student right into the depths of memory allocation so soon. ...

The C Programming Language

Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie

Prentice-Hall of india, 1988

"Hello, world"
Some people refer to this as the "c" bible This book is not cluttered with C++ forcing you to figure out what part is "c". You may think that this book is not for beginners. However it is actually more of a combination of dictionary and ["The Elements of Style" ...

Software Tools

Brian W. Kernighan, P. J. Plauger

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1976

The Most Important Software Book I Ever Read.
Software Tools. I can't say enough about how important this book was - and still is - to me. The Software Tools in Pascal version does not have the same effect - it doesn't really work. But Software Tools gets across the idea that you do not have to accept the ...

Software Tools in Pascal

Brian W. Kernighan, P.J. Plauger

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1981

Must-have
This book was recommended to me by one of my computer science teachers back in 1985 and I still use it! I have tried and tested all the programs in the book myself and I am still using some of them today. I know these tools come standard with the Unix programming ...

AMPL: A Modeling Language for Mathematical Programming

Robert Fourer, David M. Gay, ...

Duxbury Press, 2002

A Great Companion for Great Software
Most software "companions" (more than a manual...not quite a book) really do not do justice to the software. Quite the contrary for the AMPL guide. AMPL (the language) is a *very* powerful and *very* easy to use Optimization package. It interfaces with most of the ...

Unix Entorno de Programacion
Brian W. Kernighan

Prentice Hall, 1995

The C Programming Language

Dennis M. Ritchie Brian W Kernighan

Prentice Hall, 1978

Ancient History And Still A Good Primer
I bought this book back in the early 80's and it served to explain and promote the mysterious C programming language. At the time, most languages were all trying to be easy to read and this seemed to be an esoteric and intriguing approach. The style is deliberate and ...

C Programming Language, Digital Research Edition

Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis M. Ritchie

Prentice Hall, 1983

This is the most important book I ever read!
This is the most important book I ever read! It shows us that the programming is so easy and simple as the most of the greatest things. Don't miss this book even you are programming in the present or the feature.
