In the 5th day of 24 days of Hello World I will look into Perl. A language, which has a long history, but where the example itself will be rather short. Perl is a general-purpose language, designed for text manipulation. It is intended to be easy to use, efficient and complete, in other words practical, as opposed to elegant and minimal. It supports both procedural and object-oriented programming. As a beginner you would probably use procedural more, and object-oriented for third-party modules you may use. ...

In this next post, in the 24 Days of Hello World series, I will look into a language that is older than me, Erlang. Erlang is a general-purpose language used to build massively scalable soft real-time systems. As opposed to most languages language-level features for creating and managing processes, with the aim to simplify concurrent programming, is provided in Erlang. It removes the need of explicit locks by using message passing instead of shared variables. ...

Day three of the advent calendar, 24 Days of Hello World. Today marks the first day of discussing a language I have not used before, so this is an exciting one! If you didn’t understand so from the title, the language is Ruby. Ruby is one of those languages I’ve always wanted to take a deeper look at, but never had time or reasons to do so. I believe all I’ve tried is the interactive ruby part, so I have never even looked at writing a class using Ruby. Hopefully I will get some time to explore it more at a later stage. Anyway, lets jump right in. ...

For this second day of 24 Days of Hello World it is natural to follow up the previous one, with a language mentioned – Java. Java is the language that is taught in many computer engineering/science classes here in Norway, and like C#, is widely used all around the world. One of the great benefits with Java is that it follows the “write once, run anywhere” philosophy. This basically means that it is supported on any platform (given that they support Java). ...

Today marks the first day of the advent of 2015, and it’s time to open the first hatch of the calendar, 24 Days of Hello World. In this first post I will show of my primary language of choice, C#. A quick note on my setup. For all the posts in this series I will be run each particular “Hello World” from a Windows 10 machine. The baseline is a clean machine, with Notepad++ installed, as well as Mozilla Firefox, not much more (except the usual stuff that comes with Windows). ...
