Not extremely helpful but: A short history of unix Rift 18:30, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure how we are planning on structuring this essay, but I will just write a bit on the history of Posix part for now. Does somebody want to handle writing an intro? - afranco2
Hey guys, sorry for the late reply... i just wanted everyone to finish their assignment portion. we would have our own set of explanation for question 8.
AFRANCO2; Here is a suggestion.
1st paragraph; should consist defining UNIX and POSIX/Threads
2nd paragrah; consisting the history behind POSIX and why UNIX was so late to implement the support of multithreaded processes.
3rd paragraph; should conclude it all.
I agree, but I don't think that we should limit it to specifically 'paragraphs' but rather sections. -afranco2
Here is a site that would take care of paragraph 1: https://computing.llnl.gov/tutorials/pthreads/
GAUTHAM provided us with very useful pdf. that talks about the history of POSIX. - Npatel1
This may be a stupid question, buy does anybody know what we have to do for citation? Are we using footnotes like a regular wiki? Or is there another conformation we need to follow? -afranco2
I'll take care of the first paragraph if you guys are comfortable with the structure of the essay (post it by the end of today). since we already have AFRANCO2 who did the history portion of the essay.
I made a new tab for "ESSAY" final copy*
- Npatel1
I'm not sure about the citations; just keep the links you used to gather the information, we'll ask him on Tuesday.
(i was just wondering, is this is the kind of structure you were looking for? or should we change the structure?)
-Npatel1
So what all do we need left? Sorry I am out of town trying to keep up as much as possible. Ive posted my research content on the primary page. And I've noticed we are getting pretty organized with our essay format. Just as an update process what has been completed and what is left to do? Because i don't wanna type up a bunch of information we may not need anymore. So Whatever else we need I can type up with all our info and then we can out the together the essay in the next couple days.
- Tmalone
And I think the structure is a good idea. We have enough information to turn it all into a good essay. If you have another suggestion on the structure though by all means tell us what you think.
- Tmalone
sounds good! I'm sorry i was unable to post the Intro today... I'll make sure to have it by tomorrow!
Tmalone, i think we have good portion for History; i will get us started with a good intro then link in the history as our second paragraph which afranco2 has provided. then we'll talk about why UNIX was soo late; finally conclude it all with a last paragraph.
-Npatel1
Alright, I'll get started on a possible conclusion format. Then we can post it all and edit and add/delete whatever we want. So then hopefully by Tuesdays class we will have a good make-up of the essay we want.
- Tmalone
I read the current essay format posted. It was really well done good job guys. I read over it and corrected some minor grammar errors. So by sometime tomorrow I'll have a possible conclusion paragraph posted. If anyone else wants to type anything up for a conclusion they can feel free to as well! The more the better.
- Tmalone
It's looking good. Sorry if i'm a bit late to the party. I threw a paragraph down in the answer part. I know it doesn't really fit well.. but it really nees to get worked in.. -Rift
