"Written in 1984, The Unix Programming Environment introduces the reader to the then middle-aged Unix operating system. The environment described is that of spare text-only terminals, command line prompts, inputs, outputs, and the pipes that connect them. It is from a time when telephones were anchored in place with a wire, before they dropped their cords and became our constant companions, sporting sleek bodies, incorporating lenses, clocks, and music. Yet if you pare away the anachronism there is a philosophy at work in the Unix they present that still holds currency today. The inventors of Unix envisioned information technology as a fluid composition of interconnected operations. The aggregate machine specific to a particular solution is composed of independent parts agnostic of the whole; its structure may be quarried, like pieces of marble stripped from a conquered metropolis, and used to build something new. Sadly, although Unix encourages pillage, there are no civilians to ravage, and no vanquished skulls to pile into pyramids. Maybe in the next version.
If you need a break from widgets, sliders, plugins, social networking, mobile phone apps, and all the rest that comes with enacting our hyperconnected world, then take a look at this book. Reading it is like replacing your television with a fire pit, or looking at figures of animals and men on the walls of a cave."
"Written when UNIX was younger, the voice is one of presentation excitement & clarity. A good read for those interested in UNIX history and written by some of the gentlemen who invented it back in the late 60's."
