Who wrote the first "Hello World" Program

[amanjsingh]

I want to know what is the origin of Hello World program and who wrote it, what language it was written in and why was Hello World chosen as a phrase?

Thanks a lot

Glad I could help. And that's not lame at all. I've found things like this to be very useful. When you have no life and use it several times a day (like me), you are able to optimize the process.
