    Still got my trusty copy of Kernighan and Ritchie.
    Probably the best programming text ever written, in any language, for any language.
    Hard Brexit now!

      That book was all I had on my first programming job. No internet access. Dumb terminal hacking C in vi for a year. Did my eyes right in that did. Had to wear glasses after that.

        I will give a 'Benny Hill' salute when Bjarne Stroustrup dies. 'Creator' of C++.

          I was lucky enough to have a HP X terminal with CDE. I still use vi nearly every day, even on windows.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              I still program whole enterprise systems in hex machine code on my unix command line.

              In fact I use CUK by editing the raw data stream in vi.

              All that new fangled fluffy windows OO visual rubbish is for poofs.

                I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, red-head.
