Subject: [PLUG] Brian Kernighan speaking at Princeton ACM tomorrow night
To: <p...@lists.phillylinux.org>
Hi everyone,
Brian Kernighan will be speaking at the Princeton ACM meeting tomorrow
night. Dr. Kernighan worked at Bell Labs in the early days of Unix and
is currently a professor of Computer Science at Princeton
University. He's the co-author of The C Programming Language, The Unix
Programming Environment, and many other books. He's also the "K" in
AWK.
I've seen Kernighan speak before on a number of different subjects and
he's a fantastic speaker. Sadly I can't go because my company holiday
party is tomorrow night, but I encourage you to go if you can make
it. Directions are in the PDF linked in the forwared email below.
Walt
