From Bits to Bytes: Hello world in exhaustive detail
"Hello World" is a very common starting point for people learning a programming language. It's simple, quick, and gets the basics of language syntax in front of your eyes. The aim of this post, however, is not to teach you a specific language, but rather cover (almost) everything that happens in a computer between writing your program and seeing "Hello World!" on your screen.
