.UC UNIX
Programmer's Manual
(Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie, and a cast of thousands).
Lists commands,
system routines and interfaces, file formats,
and some of the maintenance procedures.
You can't live without this,
although you will probably only read section I.
.if t .sp 5p
The
.UC UNIX
Time-sharing System
(Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie).
CACM, July 1974.
An overview of the system,
for people interested in operating systems.
Worth reading by anyone who programs.
Contains a remarkable number of one-sentence observations
on how to do things right.

A Tutorial Introduction to the
.UC UNIX
Text Editor.
(Brian Kernighan).
Bell Laboratories internal memorandum.
Weak on the more esoteric uses of the editor,
but still probably the easiest way to learn
.C ed .
.if t .sp 5p
Typing Documents on
.UC UNIX.
(Mike Lesk).
Bell Laboratories internal memorandum.
A macro package to isolate the novice
from the vagaries of the formatting programs.
If this specific package isn't available on your system,
something similar probably is.
This one works with both
.C nroff
and
.C troff .

Programming in C: A Tutorial
(Brian Kernighan).
Bell Laboratories internal memorandum.
The easiest way to start learning C,
but it's no help at all with the interface to the system
beyond the simplest IO.
Should be read in conjunction with
.if t .sp 5p
C Reference Manual
(Dennis Ritchie).
Bell Laboratories internal memorandum.
An excellent reference,
but a bit heavy going for the beginner,
especially one who has never used a language like C.
