Hello World!

You know the age old tried and true method where you know you have a programming language installed correctly. The one where create a "Hello World" application? Yeah, that's the one.

Kids start off with their first words being "Mama" or "Dada", a programmer's first words are "Hello World!".

Side Note: Actually my first words were "Holy Sh** it worked!" But more on that another time.

Ah yes, a tried and true method. I remember reading a book once, where instead of starting with the Hello World example, 'cause the author thought it was rather boring... he started off with a different example completely.

I found this approach to be rather soothing. I was grateful that they had decided to go with a different approach. Needless to say it caught my attention.

Side Note: Must not have caught my attention that great... 'cause I can't recall what it is at the moment... darn it! Oh well.

So yes, next time you write a book or create a script, instead of doing the whole "Hello World!" nonsense, begin with something else... who knows, perhaps it will lead to something greater.
