Hello World!
Instead of deleting this post or leaving it as is, I decided to share 2 of the most interesting “Hello World” projects I have ever seen. (For those who have never taken any Computer Science modules, “Hello World” is the standard first project that anyone would embark upon when learning a new programming language or platform.)
The first one is done by students from Carnegie Mellon University as a final project for the “Building Virtual Worlds” module. For those who have watched Randy Pausch’s Last Lecture, this was presented during the lecture.
The next one is one of our very own, coming from the Software Development on Evolving Platforms module (affectionally known as the Facebook module) in NUS. While this application is relatively simple, it was accomplished by a team of students within the first week of the module beginning (while most of us are still deciding whether to drop or switch modules). Note: You will need to have Facebook to add and view the application.
