	Brian Kernighan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brian Wilson Kernighan (pronounced Ker'-ni-han; the 'g' is silent; born 1942) is a computer scientist who worked at the Bell Labs and contributed to the design of the pioneering AWK and AMPL programming languages.
		Kernighan's name became widely known through co-authorship of the first book on the C programming language with Dennis Ritchie.
		Kernighan has said that he had no part in the design of the C language: "It's entirely Dennis Ritchie's work".

		He checked his email, and sure enough the "aliens" (who Brian still thought were people at his office) had written him, asking him to take care of the car-baby until it was mature.
		Brian was amazed that somebody in the universe was smart enough to build a car-baby that could mature.
		The entire Autobot/Decepticon civil war grew out of an argument between Optimus Prime and Megatron, as to whether they should kill Brian Kernighan and update the OBJECT array themselves, or allow their children to be controlled by a human.

	The C Programming Language (book) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The C Programming Language, by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie; one of the most read and trusted books on C.
		The C Programming Language (also known as KandR or "the white book") is a famous computer science book which has been influential in the application and development of the C programming language.
		The book was written by Dennis Ritchie, who designed the language, and by Brian Kernighan.

	The Kernighan and Van Wyk Benchmarks
		Brian W Kernighan and Christopher J Van Wyk have written a set of small benchmarks to compare the perforance of several scripting languages, including Scheme.
		Several of Kernighan and Van Wyk's other conclusions must be reconsidered in light of these results.
		These benchmarks have already been described by Kernighan and Van Wyk, so I will limit myself to a few additional notes on the Scheme and C code.

		Brian W. ([BRAjen KEnien], naskita en 1942 en Toronto) estas komputikisto.
		Li konatiĝis interalie per sia kunaŭtorado (kun Dennis Ritchie) de la libro The C Programming Language (la programadlingvo C).
		Kvankam Kernighan ĉiam diris, ke la kreado de C estis nur verko de Ritchie, la alfabeta ordo donis al li la unuan lokon inter la du aŭtoroj, kiujn oni citas nur kiel "Kernighan kaj Ritchie".

	Brian W. Kernighan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Kernighan is the co-author of several books, including ``The C Programming Language'' and ``The UNIX Programming Environment''.
		Also in 1969, the system that Brian Kernighan would later name Unix was being developed by Ken Thompson "with some assistance from" Dennis Ritchie.
		The vast majority of the language defined by the Standard is precisely the same as is defined in Appendix A of The C Programming Language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, and as is implemented in almost all C translators.

	Software Tools
		Brian W. Kernighan, Dennis Ritchie, Dennis M. Ritchie
		Kernighan and Plauger set out in this book to document what they used in their labs at the time it was written, and show how to build them.
		A simplified version of the nroff text formatter and a version of ed are also included for text file processing (then as now one of the major uses for computers), the result being both a toolkit and a practical education in the ins and outs of applications development.

	Dertouzos Lecturer Series: Brian Kernighan
		Brian Kernighan from Princeton University gave a talk titled "What Should an Educated Person Know about Computers" on October 10th, 2002.
		The intent, or perhaps just fond hope, is not only to help students understand specific technologies, but also how to reason about how systems work and how to be intelligently skeptical about technology and technological claims.
		Brian Kernighan received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Princeton University in 1969.

		Brian and I had started work with an early release of Pascal from Professor Niklaus Wirth's ETH labs in Switzerland and we were impressed with its elegant simplicity and power.
		Brian must be credited with the idea of having absolutely no standard I/O specification: this ensured that at least 50% of the typical commercial program would have to be re-coded when changing hardware platforms.
		Brian was also responsible for pitching this lack of I/O as a feature: it allowed us to describe the language as "truly portable".

		In 1996 Kernighan taught Harvard’s only introductory computer science course which influenced the creation of COS 109, Computers in Our World, which was offered this past fall semester here at Princeton.
		Now Kernighan has returned to COS 333 this spring, but with a new agenda, since much has changed since he last taught the course seven years ago.
		Most people immediately recognize Brian Kernighan as one of the authors of the C programming language, but his immediate response to this is always a humble denial and a correction that he “just happened to be there.” Even so, Kernighan’s accomplishments have contributed greatly to computer science and technology.

	An Interview with Brian Kernighan
		During the summer of 1999 I had the chance to be a research intern at Bell Labs, the research arm of Lucent Technologies.
		This time I boldly ventured to ask Brian Kernighan for an interview for the Romanian computer magazine PC Report Romania, for which I am assistant editor.
		Kernighan's opinions may make very interesting reading for an English-speaking audience too, so I decided to also release (with his approval) the interview in English.

	Tcl and Java Performance
		Kernighan and Van Wyk chose not to include the start-up time of the Java run-time environment in their Java times.
		Although this gives this program a new lease of life (including its use to display the graphs in the on-line version of this paper), the startup time ballooned from barely-noticeable for the C version, to several seconds for the Java version.
		According to Kernighan and Van Wyk, ack(3,k) requires at least 4^(k+1) function calls and reaches a recursive depth of 2^(k+3)-1.

		Kernighan and Pike start with the basic description of Unix file system and the basic set of commands, continue with the command shell, redirection and piping.
		The already mentioned tutorial on C by Kernighan and Ritchie, written in much the same style and spirit, can serve as the introduction to it.
		Also, while the book keeps up with its age remarkably well, there are some points where the described Unix system differs from the modern POSIX systems (most user commands are however backward compatible and still accept the old syntax).

		Brian and I had just started working with an early release of Pascal from Professor Nichlaus Wirth's ETH labs in Switzerland and we were impressed with its elegant simplicity and power.
		We looked at Multics and designed the new system to be as complex and cryptic as possible to maximize casual users' frustration levels, calling it Unix as a parody of Multics, as well as other more risque allusions.
		Then Dennis and Brian worked on a truly warped version of Pascal, called 'A'.
