#hwotd on Twitter

It’s 2010 now! I’m starting 2010 with a resolution to tweet “Hello World” in various languages (programming languages included) at least once a day. All of my “Hello World” tweets will end with #hwotd. I’m doing this for the sheer fun of learning multiple languages. Other than that, I want to let you guys know the first step in any programming language. I written my first “Hello World” in BASIC more than 18 years ago. [Read More]

Anyways, I haven’t dissect the application thoroughly. [Read More]

Tutorial: A Simple URL Redirector - Part 1
