Dennis Ritchie: The Father of C Language

2011-10-17T21:28:00.000-07:00

Most of engineering students and even higher secondary students of computer science have heard about the C programming language. I don't know how many have worked on it but many have done programming on C which is the very first high level language taught to engineering students. I learnt it in 2010 as a part of my M.Sc- Electronics curriculum. and I found very easy to write program using C. It really easy to learn & use and most of softwares, application programs and even operating systems are written using C. Thanks to its developer for its versatility and ease.
But do you know who craeted this magnificent language. Dennis Ritchie was an American computer scientist who along with Ken Thompson created the C language in 1971 at Bell Labs.

Hello Everybody;
Hoping that you people are well. I am Ashish Chaturvedi and I have done my post graduation from Dr.R.M.L Awadh University, Faizabad (www.rmlau.ac.in) in Electronics.
I was in Awadh University from 2009 to 2011. There were only 14 students in my batch and 4 of them left their studies in the mid of the academic session. After two or three months, I also thought of quitting my PG program though I completed it successfully. But the drop-out ratio should not be taken lightly. There are many reasons behind it. There were only two girls and the whole session remained very dry and dull. But the dullest things were the professors, lectureres drawing high salary but their productivity was nil which in turn produced no brilliant student. They are just coming, delivering their lectures which were written in their loose A4 size papers which were in very weak and rotten condition. Teachers created an atmosphere of tension and fear and therefore none was there to complain them for their loopholes. The story repeats year by year and I suffered a dreadful suffocating academic atmosphere which I never want to remember in my life. The worst teachers I have ever met there! I hate those crammers!
There was no generous and kind teacher except Dr. Tiwari. Most of them were biased, mainly biased on the basis of caste and region. They were too mentally sick to even tell good books on their subjects.
During all the two years, I was too much troubled due to not getting good books and notes. Most of the my time and money was spent on searching books and making notes. Still I could not complete my course both the years.
Here I am to help my juniors and others who face similar problems as I faced. The most difficult situation is faced by medium less and poor students. They can't even manage to get previous papers xeroxed. So, I am here to provide all the stuff I have on Electonics.
This blog is especially uselful for students of Electonics (Awadh Univerity).but I think knowledge can not be restricted to only a group of persons. My work will get its reward when the contents of my blog are utilized to the fullest.
Criticism and Suggestions are most welcome!
