I wish I had read this book back in college

The author does a great job explaining the Unix tradition and where it came from. This book is filled with design considerations and high level concepts related to programming techniques. It gives a clear insight into what went in one's mind when designing many of the programs that are so common to Unix.

I think you will enjoy this book if you have had basic exposure to Unix (even as just a regular user), and some basic exposure to programming.
