Brian Kernighan citáty

Brian Kernighan je americký programátor známy predovšetkým ako spoluautor knihy The C Programming Language o programovacom jazyku C. Knihu napísal spolu s autorom jazyka Dennisom Ritchiem. Povedal, že na návrhu jazyka nemá žiadny podiel, všetko je Ritchieho práca.

Podľa tejto základnej referenčnej príručky o jazyku C z roku 1978 sa vtedajší štandard jazyka označoval K&R podľa prvých písmen priezvisk oboch autorov.

Kernighan stál pri zrode skriptovacieho jazyka AWK, kde K v názve opäť pochádza z jeho priezviska. Vytvoril tiež mnoho programov pre operačný systém Unix. Wikipedia

“Advice to students: Leap in and try things. If you succeed, you can have enormous influence. If you fail, you have still learned something, and your next attempt is sure to be better for it. Advice to graduates: Do something you really enjoy doing. If it isn’t fun to get up in the morning and do your job or your school program, you’re in the wrong field.”
