3 | 3 | This is an old book but it's held in high esteem by many. Seeing how many linux commands resemble those of unix and having enjoyed the C book, co-written by Kernighan, I thought I'd skim over this one and see what it still has to offer. These are my notes on what I understand of the book and what I manage to read of it. I will use macOS 10.x to test the scripts provided in the book and probably report if they are still relevant. I might skip the few commands and things I already know about how to use the terminal. |

67 | 67 | - Unix was created in 1969 in Bell Labs and rewritten in C in 1973. In 1974, it was licensed to universities (the so called BSD). |
68 | 68 | - Unix is successful because of its portability, the fact that it's written in C, a high level language. |
69 | 69 | - The **Unix philosophy** states that the relationship among different programs is what makes a great system. Even trivial programs can be combined to create great software, if they work well together. |
