• 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))))

Did you notice that PHP 4 is now absolite?

Official PHP web-site has announced PHP 4 end of life.

July 13, 2007: “The PHP development team hereby announces that support for PHP 4 will continue until the end of this year only. After 2007-12-31 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4. We will continue to make critical security fixes available on a case-by-case basis until 2008-08-08.”

You might want to consider moving along and update to PHP 5 version.

And this reminded me about something from the past: definition of different types of programmers or programmer’s “temperaments”.
I have tried to find English version of it but did not succeed. Instead I found something different Code and Personality by Kevin Marks & Maf Vosburgh. Take a minute and read it.
