Introduction
======================================================================
'The Art of Unix Programming' by Eric S. Raymond is a book about the
history and culture of Unix programming from its earliest days in 1969
to 2003 when it was published, covering both genetic derivations such
as BSD and conceptual ones such as Linux.
The author utilizes a comparative approach to explaining Unix by
contrasting it to other operating systems including desktop-oriented
ones such as Microsoft Windows and the classic Mac OS to ones with
research roots such as EROS and Plan 9 from Bell Labs.
The book was published by Addison-Wesley, September 17, 2003, and is
also available online, under a Creative Commons license with
additional clauses.
