Intro

public class BlogOne
{
   public void main (String args[])
   {
       System.out.println("hello world");
   }
}

  "hello world" - a well known phrase of the Computer Programming community. Every programming language writes a program that prints out this phrase. There is no particular reason, it's just been tradition among programmers.
  James Paul Gee wrote an article on discourse communities called Literacy, Discourse, and Linguistics. In this paper, he discusses that in order to be accepted in a discourse community, it takes more than just knowing the information of the community to be let in. It requires the saying, doing, being, believing and valuing of a discourse community in order to be accepted in the community itself. The next five blogs will briefly cover each of the five sections of the discourse community and more.
