Hello world!

Hello world is an expression known to just-about-everyone that has learned a non-trivial programming language. For everyone else, the traditional first program to write in every new language simply writes “Hello World” to the screen. This is generally considered the single most basic and simple program possible that still does something (marginally) useful.

However, in the pre-internet world in which this program was first written, the greeting didn’t exactly reach the world. Now-a-days, blogs let you potentially reach a very large chuck of the world.

So, in my first post to my first blog, I say to all: “Hello World!”
