Of interest to anyone in New Jersey. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Walt Mankowski Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2018 at 11:24 Subject: [PLUG] Brian Kernighan speaking at Princeton ACM tomorrow night To: 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.
