I found this at a blogging site - it's funny in a thoroughly geeky way, nevertheless worth a read.

High School/Jr.High

  10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"  20 END

First year in College

 

program Hello(input, output)	begin	  writeln('Hello World')	end.

Senior year in College

 

(defun hello	(print	  (cons 'Hello (list 'World))))

New professional

 

#include <stdio.h>  void main(void)  {	char *message[] = {"Hello ", "World"};	int i;	for(i = 0; i < 2; ++i)	  printf("%s", message[i]);	printf("n");  }

#include <iostream.h>  #include <string.h>  class string  {  private:	int size;	char *ptr;  string() : size(0), ptr(new char[1]) { ptr[0] = 0; }	string(const string &s) : size(s.size)	{	  ptr = new char[size + 1];	  strcpy(ptr, s.ptr);	}	~string()	{	  delete [] ptr;	}	friend ostream &operator <<(ostream &, const string &);	string &operator=(const char *);  };  ostream &operator<<(ostream &stream, const string &s)  {	return(stream << s.ptr);  }  string &string::operator=(const char *chrs)  {	if (this != &chrs)	{	  delete [] ptr;	 size = strlen(chrs);	  ptr = new char[size + 1];	  strcpy(ptr, chrs);	}	return(*this);  }  int main()  {	string str;	str = "Hello World";	cout << str << endl;	return(0);  }

LOOL...

 

 

I read the "different phases of programming" joke a couple of times before but, I'm telling ya, it never gets old . The "evolution" joke is also nice, but I guess the one who drew it didn't have enough time. Otherwise, it could've included more evolutionary stages that would be funny as Hell .

 

 

Thanks, m^e. Cheers.

Yep, this one is always funny, especially for a bit more experienced people, I especially started to laugh at the end of the quotes especially on Chief Executive :PI remember I read the above part, but it didn't include the bottom part.. With it it is even more funny

it was funny, but I didn't really understand it 'cuz I dun write anything higher than Java.xboxrulz

About the "evolution of programmers" image, I have to say that I saw a better one somewhere else, I'll try to find it out.Code evolution is absolutely brilliant :P :P
