Programming in C... Hello world?
A new year is beginning and many opportunities are opening up, some say it will be a difficult economic year but if you ask me I believe that there are no difficult economic years for those who strive to work so all they want is to sow panic so that thanks to that panic their predictions are fulfilled.
But you and I both know that when the world is in chaos is when it really rains opportunities for progress. So I will not stop to believe the so-called seers, instead I want to get started in the world of programming, starting with a language as basic as C, then phyton and finally maybe in the next century I will be mastering solaris.
But if we leave the trace of how I learn from scratch I think it will be a legacy for all those who want to learn in the future and who knows I may end up becoming an important programmer and you know what? you will have been by my side during all my trajectory.
Well... We need a compiler. Let's download a powerful and free one called CODEBLOCKS.

Why C? First of all because I think it is one of the most fundamental languages or at least that's what I have been told.... Besides I have a minimum knowledge about it, it's not much but at least I know something compared to any other language of which I don't even know if I write its name correctly.
Now let's talk about the famous hello world, who thought of making a program that only says hello world, you will tell me that you only want to print something but it is boring that someone says hello and the conversation ends only with that thread without anything else, let's try to correct that.
Let's use our compiler to send our first loud and clear message to the world.
By the way, this is the first instruction we should know. The printf() function allows us to display a text on the screen, inside the () we write what we want to be printed inside quotation marks, we use the characters to go down a line so that our text can be read more comfortably.
Happy New Year.
