General programming Language Information

HelloWorld in various languages
Dr. Buffenbarger has collected the hello-world programs for all the languages that can be run on onyx. Copies are in the directory onyx.boisestate.edu/~tcole/public_html/cs354/hello-world directory on onyx if you want to check them out. Shell scripts called MAKE are included when appropriate to show you how to compile the programs. Otherwise, just type the command name which is the name of the directory.
