Brian Kernighan discusses how the C programming language and the famous K&R book came to be.
"C" is one of the most widely used programming languages of all time. Prof Brian Kernighan wrote the book on "C", well, co-wrote it - on a visit to the University of Nottingham we asked him how it came about.
