“I’m tellin ya, mo fos… I’ll bet my last clean diaper that C# is the best programming language there is.”
Now here’s something you don’t see every day: a programming poem. A BABY programming poem, no less! Apparently Google App Inventor is so easy that even an infant can build Android apps.
But back to the poem by Andra McCoy. Here is the first stanza:
Why does PHP and HTML sleep in the same crib,
Whenever I look, they’re sharing a bib.
They seem to support some code they call OOP,
I find it irrelevant, more concerned with my Poop!
Any poem that contains both OOP and poop is true geek art in my book!

As the resident geek, my part-time job is providing computer tech support to family, friends and neighbors. One of the most common questions they ask me is:
“What’s the difference between digital songs that cost $1.29 on iTunes and $0.99 on Amazon.com?”
And being the smartass that I am, my stock answer is:
“30 cents”
