C Programming Language
- The C programming language is a general-purpose, procedural programming language developed between 1972 and 1973 by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs for implementing the Unix operating system.
- In 1977, Randal Schwartz discovered the C source directories while exploring a Unix V6 PDP-11 at Reed College over a 110-baud dialup connection, self-teaching himself the language directly from system source files. See First Unix Experience in 1977.
