Every technical journey starts with a simple phrase: Hello, World!
It’s more than just a string of text, it’s a developer’s rite of passage. Whether you’re learning your first programming language or experimenting with a new framework, printing these two words means “everything is working, and I’m ready to build.”

Why “Hello World”?

The tradition of using “Hello World” dates back to the 1970s. In the book The C Programming Language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, the very first example program simply printed:

#include <stdio.h>

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

Since then, it’s become a universal way to test an environment and celebrate small wins.

Hello World in Python

Here’s the simplest possible program in Python:

print("Hello, World!")

Run this, and if you see the text appear on your screen, congrats! Your setup works!

Hello World in JavaScript

If you’re running Node.js or working in the browser console:

console.log("Hello, World!");

This tiny line confirms your JavaScript environment is alive.

More Than Just Words

“Hello World” might look trivial, but it’s a powerful reminder that:

• Every big project starts small.
• The first step is often just making something appear.
• You’re officially ready to explore, break things, and learn.
