Hello, world!

[2ndGenNikonian]

Hello everyone. I got into photography almost two years ago, and I've been hooked ever since. I'm mostly a 35mm shooter, but I've started to branch out into MF and even a little digital. I've lurked this place for a few months now, and I think it's about time I started actually contributing.

Yup! My dad used his old FE2 until about 2010 or so before trading it in for a Nikon digital. He'd had it since '86, and it served him well.

Welcome aboard from another Nikon person, like you I'm fairly new at Nikon's. I got my first Nikon, a Nikkormat FTN with a 50mm f:1.4 in 1968 and never looked back. You will find some very generous people in this forum who can and willing give the years of their knowledge and experience to the rest of the forum.
BTW I also have an old FE2 as well as an FA, an F4 and a really old Nikkormat EL. In Digital I have a D600 and D7100 and the best thing is that I can use all my lenses both AF and MF on all my cameras.

Cool, similar story here, although my commitment to photography turned out to be bigger than my dad's, so he kind of dropped out of the game. He acquired a Canon SLR in the early 1990s, and I've always kept a soft spot for them.
Last year I had to 'test drive' a Nikon F90x and I really liked that one, too. Marvelous camera.

Are you a 'c' programmer? The thread title could lead one to think exactly that.

Only a handful of informal classes when I was much, much younger. Took one look at arrays, and decided that computer science wasn't for me.

Not just C! Just about every 101 instruction on just about every language involves a 'Hello world' example.

Ohh, you missed out on lists & vectors! I understand though - it's kind of abstract stuff. Not everyone's concept of a nice pastime.

Or perhaps I should say something like

#include <list>
#include <iostream>

typedef struct {
    const char     element;
    bool        likes_it;
} appreciation_t;

class Person {
    public:
        Person () {}
        const char name;
        std::list<appreciation_t> appreciates;
}

void main {
    Person p;
    p.name = "2ndGenNikonian";
    appreciation_t dislike_array = {"array", false};
    p.appreciates.push_front(dislike_array);
    appreciation_t like_nikon = {"Nikon", true};
    p.appreciates.push_front(dislike_array);
    std::cout << "Hello world " << p.name << "\n";
    for (appreciation_t a: p.appreciates) {
        std::cout << "You " << a.likes_t?"":"dis" << "likes " << a.element << "\n";
    }
}

Lets start a competition as see who can write the shortest program to do that.
