| Dennis Ritchie - Father of 'C' Language |
The day before yesterday (October 13, 2011) around 3.30pm my student (Ramasamy) sent SMS to me. Actually I was in meeting. Therefore I was not able to read SMS immediately. Ten minutes later I read that SMS. The SMS was...
"Good Evening Sir, One Sad News, Father of C language, 'Dennis Ritchie' passed away"
When Dennis Ritchie died?
Actually Dennis Ritchie passed away on October 8, 2011. But first four days nobody was aware of his death. Last Wednesday (October 13, 2011) Dennis Ritchie's friend was the first person to inform about Dennis Ritchie death to this world. The friend name is Rob Pike.
