Origin of UNIX dates to somewhere around the late 1960s and early 1970s. UNIX was a brain child of Jenn Thomson of Bell Laboratories. Unix is actually a set of ideas. Before the advent of UNIX, operating systems did not emphasize on the importance of file sharing. UNIX was the first of its kind to introduce the concept of file sharing and network security. When computers were connected together, security and authenticity were the main goal for the system developers. This has been possible because of the Shell programming concept used in UNIX. For years from now, software developers will make use of the powerful concepts of UNIX in developing various softwares, which is very much visible from the success of Jave, .NET,etc.
