Hello, World!
It has become a tradition when introducing a new programming
language to begin with a program that prints "Hello, World!"
This lets you see the most basic syntax and gives a quick
working program.
For example, here is a simple Hello World program in python:
print "Hello, World!"
You can find a similar example in every programming language,
with many interesting variations.
Even Wikipedia's first
live page was its "Hello World" page.
Here are a few interesting Hello, World links:
