Footnote 1:
David Silverberg and David Shapiro were both among the first wave of
technologist and programmers who evaluated the UNIX operating system and
designed and coded C programs. Dave Silverberg was coding programs and reviewing
source code and later taught classes at Bell Laboratories. David Shapiro, in
conjunction with classmates at Union College and Cornell University, became
familiar with the capabilities and long term potential of low level programming
languages, and early versions of both UNIX and BASIC.
Footnote 2:
SYS-ED’s core Linux and UNIX curriculum has been submitted to the New York State
Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision for review.
