C Programming - Chapter 00 - Introduction

The preface to C Programming by Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie places the C programming language in the context of the other popular programming languages of the 1960's and 1970's FORTRAN, COBOL, Pascal, Algol, and PL/I . Many concepts like separation of concerns and the use of provided run-time libraries versus language syntax are introduced and described.

This material is used under "fair use" so we can interpret this historical and scholarly work and place it in the context of the history of computing.

Thanks sir, for this series, I am a social science student, but after watching your Python for everybody, I am on the journey of self taught software developer. After learning python from you, I began to love programming. I don't think I am that fortunate enough to come to Michigan to attend your lectures. But learning from you online, gives me immense satisfaction. And sir, also your way of teaching is also really awesome. The way you make us understand the concepts by talking about every bits and pieces is awesome. Thanks sir 💕💕💕

The basis for many bugs in programs.. C.
Newer languages are much better in their preprocessing and catching bugs before they run amok in production.
We have a lot to thank for from C. But its showing its age.
