Programs every Programmer has Written

From PerlNet

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of programs every programmer has written from scratch at one point. By "every" we don't mean everyone, just that it's a general trend for enthusiastic hackers to write one or more of these at a point:

  1. Hello, world ;-)
  2. An Interpreter for Scheme (a relatively minimal dialect of Lisp)
  3. A templating system or HTML preprocessor
  4. A database abstraction layer, or ORM
  5. An IRC bot
  6. An interpreter for his own language (possibly embedded in text)
  7. An ad-hoc Content Management System (CMS)
  8. A program to calculate the digits of Pi.
  9. A prime-related program (prime factoring, prime generation, etc.)
  10. A "build system" (normally just a makefile generator).
  11. A program to render the Mandelbrot Set.
  12. A simulator for Conway's Game-of-Life.
