It’s alive! After quite a bit of procrastinating, I finally went through the hassle of getting my very own domain name up and running, in conjunction with a series of personal testing projects that will be taking place.

Oh, if you’ve somehow wandered around and crash landed over here, my name is Jan Wong and you’re looking at the very first post on this site. Though I’ve been absent from the blogosphere for quite a bit, janwong.my is where I’ll be making my appearance again by sharing my thoughts, knowledge, projects and happenings around myself.

I somehow cannot resist the urge to talk about the infamous “Hello World” (although I talk about it all the time in previous posts elsewhere and anywhere). If you didn’t know, The “Hello World” term started back then in 1974 as a simple (simplest!) program of all time and has won global recognition till today! This term was then made famous by a book: The C Programming Language as it became the traditional first program many people learn to code. It is so simple that even people who have no previous experience with computer programming can easily understand it, especially with a written guide.

int main()
 {
        printf("hello, world");
        return 0;
 }

“Hello World” has been used across the world by programmers (even hackers) ever since as dummy texts, dummy error messages, sanity tests and  a proof of concept. Jargons aside, it simply a way for devices/programs to say “I Am Alive!” and for humans, it simply means “It Works!” in a more friendly, IT way! :)

Having that said, I shall conclude this post by saying..  Hello World!
