A Brief History of C Programming

· General-purpose language which has been closely associated with the UNIX operating system for which it was developed - since the system and most of the programs that run it are written in C.

·    Many of the important ideas of C stem from the language BCPL, developed by Martin Richards.

·      In 1972 Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs writes C and in 1978 the publication of The C Programming Language by Kernighan & Ritchie caused a revolution in the computing world.

·        In 1983, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) established a committee to provide a modern, comprehensive definition of C. The resulting definition, the ANSI standard, or "ANSI C", was completed late 1988.

About C Programming

I will be posting about C programming from basics including example programs and solutions. If you need any help regarding any programs and problems related to C, you can post in comments below, and I will try to help you as soon as possible. Thank you

An Overview of Modern Development in Technology

So, nobody in the past would have predicted that it would actually be possible, to talk to the person living in another continent at the real time; not only talk but also see each other. It is all like a magic if we see at a surface view of these things. These all developments are not a contribution to an individual or a company, there are numbers of such individuals and companies involved in the process and their series of desires and dreams has led us to the era we are upon. Information technology has developed so much in recent times.

How does it work? How does the cell phone work or that small heartbeat sensing device or that ATM machine or that vending machine or that routing device? Questions like this always used to arise in my mind while I was a kid and I believe everyone had this question on their mind when they were too young to know the real fact. So, the question is how it works or that works or that small beeping device works? The basic idea behind every electrical and electronic device is that there is a small controlling chip called 'Microcontroller' or 'Microprocessor' to which we provide certain instructions to perform the task needed. The instructions are the program that is given to the microprocessor or microcontroller that controls the behavior of the system. The programming simply is the process of telling the microprocessor or microcontroller to do the certain task under certain condition and to do other tasks under another condition. The programming can be done through the various high-level and low-level programs which we will discuss in our further posts. Thus, every embedded device you see, there is the combination of hardware components and programming. This much for today we will discuss more related things in other posts. Thank you.
