- General:
- .R
- .if t .sp 5p
- .UC UNIX
- Programmer's Manual
- (Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and a cast of thousands).
- Lists commands,
- system routines and interfaces, file formats,
- and some of the maintenance procedures.
- You can't live without this,
- although you will probably only read section I.
- .if t .sp 5p
- The
- .UC UNIX
- Time-sharing System
- (Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie).
- CACM, July 1974.
- An overview of the system,
- for people interested in operating systems.
- Worth reading by anyone who programs.
- Contains a remarkable number of one-sentence observations
- on how to do things right.
- .if t .sp 5p
- .I
- Document Preparation:
- .R
- .if t .sp 5p
- A Tutorial Introduction to the
- .UC UNIX
- Text Editor.
- (Brian Kernighan).
- Bell Laboratories internal memorandum.
- Weak on the more esoteric uses of the editor,
- but still probably the easiest way to learn
- .C ed .
- .if t .sp 5p
- Typing Documents on
- .UC UNIX.
- (Mike Lesk).
- Bell Laboratories internal memorandum.
- A macro package to isolate the novice
- from the vagaries of the formatting programs.
- If this specific package isn't available on your system,
- something similar probably is.
- This one works with both
- .C nroff
- and
- .C troff .
- .if t .sp 5p
- .I
- Programming:
- .R
- .if t .sp 5p
- Programming in C: A Tutorial
- (Brian Kernighan).
- Bell Laboratories internal memorandum.
- The easiest way to start learning C,
- but it's no help at all with the interface to the system
- beyond the simplest IO.
- Should be read in conjunction with
- .if t .sp 5p
- C Reference Manual
- (Dennis Ritchie).
- Bell Laboratories internal memorandum.
- An excellent reference,
- but a bit heavy going for the beginner,
- especially one who has never used a language like C.
