 Unix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Unix systems are characterized by various concepts: plain text files, command line interpreter, hierarchical file system, treating devices and certain types of inter-process communication as files, etc. In software engineering, Unix is mainly noted for its use of the C programming language and for the Unix philosophy.
Unix or UNIX is a computer operating system originally developed in the 1960s and 1970s by a group of ATandT Bell Labs employees including Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and Douglas McIlroy.
Early Unix developers were important in bringing the theory of software modularity and re-use into engineering practice.

 The Creation of the UNIX* Operating System
UNIX* computer operating system from Bell Labs is still regarded as one of the most powerful, versatile, and flexible operating systems (OS) in the computer world.
The system also fostered a distinctive approach to software design -- solving a problem by interconnecting simpler tools, rather than creating large monolithic application programs.
Like another legendary creature whose name also ends in 'x,' UNIX rose from the ashes of a multi-organizational effort in the early 1960s to develop a dependable timesharing operating system.

Once the Unix kernel was coded in C, it would become possible to implement Unix on different computers without having to rewrite the majority of the code.
The contributions to the evolution of Unix by researchers at Bell Labs and then by those at the University of California at Berkeley, and other users and programmers around the world who continued the development of Unix, are an important achievement in the development of the process of software creation.
Contributing to the value of Unix during its early development, was the fact that the source code was open and available.

 A Brief History of Unix
UNIX is nearly the unanimous choice of operating system for computer companies started since 1985.
In UNIX because the C language was written to be used to implement an operating system rather than a traditional "input-processing-output" application, use of these sophisticated features is quite easily done from the C language without writing any assembly language.
As UNIX was ported onto more and more different types of computer hardware the UNIX networking allowed many different types of systems to share and mutually use data.

Bell Labs distributed the operating system in its source language form, so anyone who obtained a copy could modify and customize it for his own purposes.

 UNIX
UNIX quickly spread throughout the academic world, as it solved the problem of keeping track of many (sometimes dozens) of proprietary operating systems on university computers.
This was a major advantage for Unix and led to its widespread use in the multi-platform environments of colleges and universities.
With UNIX, all of the computers from many different manufacturers could run the same operating system and share the same programs (recompiled on each processor).

Apache HTTP Server is an open source HTTP web server for Unix platforms (BSD, Linux, and UNIX systems), Microsoft Windows, and other platforms.
Initially, Apache was the only viable open source alternative to the Netscape web server (currently known as iPlanet).
It has since evolved to rival (and probably surpass) any other Unix based HTTP server in terms of functionality and speed.

 Unix Systems Programming using Java
The Unix systems programming API has been standardised by a large number of POSIX standards documents from the IEEE.
For example, both Unix and Windows have means to list the files in a directory and to change to that directory.
For example, the ability to change directories does not appear to be there because it has different effects in DOS to Unix (in DOS it changes directories for all processes, but in Unix only for the calling process).
