Blogging – Dan Bernardic

Casual Blogging

I think I am going to blog more casually from now on.

At this month’s WordPress Winnipeg Meetup, I decided to blog more casually – instead of making sure my post is perfect and treating it like a marketing message that presents me as an expert in some topic, I will blog shorter posts about whatever is current for me.

Here it goes!

First Blog Post at Canada’s Web Shop

My new employer, Canada’s Web Shop, encourages its employees to blog and tweet through the company’s blog and twitter accounts. They encourage everyone to tweet twice a week, and we take turns blogging weekly. Some people tweet daily, and blog once each week. There is an opening for another weekly blogger, since an employee who was blogging weekly left recently. Is this a good opportunity for me?

Recently, it was my turn to blog, and I wrote an article about PHP development support tools that I like to use.

Hello World – First Post

Hello world!

I am really excited to be writing my first blog post as part of setting up my online presence at bernardic.ca.

Since I work as a programmer, and have a Bachelors degree in Computer Scrience, I think it would be good to start with a hello world. Here it is in all the programming languages I use or have used. The constraint is of course that I don’t look it up on the Web or in other people’s source code, but rather either go by memory, or memory plus the help of a compiler/interpreter:

PHP

<?= 'Hello World!'?>

Ruby

puts 'Hello world!'

Python

print 'Hello world!n'

Java

public class Hello {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    System.out.println("Hello world!");
  }
}

LISP

(print "Hello, World!")

Perl

print "Hello World!n"

C

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
  printf("Hello World!n");
}

bash

echo 'Hello World!'

Javascript

alert("Hello World!");

window.onload = function () { document.write("Hello World!"); }

C#

using System;
public class Hello {
 public static void Main() {
    Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
 }
}

There it is. I also tried C++, but could not figure out the whole stdout << “Hello World!”, or however it would actually go. 🙂 Happy Coding!
