Hello, World!
The mandatory first post.
I still remember the day when I first decided to learn programming. I was so sure of which language I will be learning. The inspiration to learn Python as my first programming language came when I was watching the film The Social Network. In a scene, Mark Zuckerberg mentions "... python webserver...". Then I went on to search "python" on Google. I read about Python on Wikipedia and other online resources. I was really fascinated by the number of applications this language had. Plus, the name is cool. It bears an air of mystery about itself.
Here's the first line of code I ever wrote, and perhaps you did too:
print "Hello, World!"
