Usually the first computer program a person learns to program... surely it must be one of the most frequently used introductions to a forum and must be such a worn out tired cliche... that is why I like it!
...well teh thing is... when a person takes up first year computer programming they are surprised that they can learn how to program in the first three minutes of the lecture... what the lecturer does is opens up a Python shell (free download if you want to program) and types in the command - print "hello world" - this instruction is code for the computer program to print - hello world. Which is the first computer program most programmers write.
The way I figure it, every nerd that has ever taken a computing course will print the words - print "hello world" - as an introduction to themselves on an internet forum, so much so, that it must be such an outdated and painful cliche, i.e. why I like it so much!
I will never tire of that...
