hello world

First post. Don’t you just hate it when commenters say that? Anyway, this is my first post up here. I am aware – in case you were wondering – that hello world is a pretty uninspired title.

As an attempt at justifying it, I thought I might actually include some sample hello world programs. Taken from Wikipedia, since it’s not like I know how to write most of these myself…

C

main()
 {
        printf("hello, world");
 }

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <body>
    Hello, world!
    </body>
</html>

(That one I did know how to write. Honest.)

JavaScript

document.write('Hello, world!');

(Also that one.)

PHP

<?php echo 'Hello, world!' ?>

(And that one.)

Python

print("Hello, world!")

(I vaguely remembered this one.)

Ruby

puts "Hello, world!"

Well done(?) for reading this far. My aim in starting this second blog (I’m normally found at the View from Nobody) was to create a space where I could write more in depth about my encounters with tech. It just didn’t seem to fit with the rest of my usual content.

Check back for more updates in the coming weeks. I have a few things lined up on the subject of GitHub and Jekyll – both of which I’m new to, and both of which I’ve been hugely impressed with so far…

For now, stay classy.
