Ever stop to wonder what’s in a simple day like today? There’s no guarantee that today will bring about anything substantial. In fact, today could be a big flop on the ground and no one would notice. I don’t know how any of that tends to work out though. It’s life right? Oh life, what are you even on about? I don’t understand you at times. It would be nice to be able to grasp something, even if it’s out of thin air, to understand and realize what that’s all about. But alas I cannot do that. It is life after all, and we cannot really understand anything that comes our way. If I had the ability to realize my own potential, I think I could benefit from it all. But I don’t know how to do that. It’s a shame really, to want to be able to do something with this life and then to be stuck without any reason for it? Yeah, no bueno.
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.
