In this lab, you will begin your journey to become multilingual in computer programming by learning to say, “Hello World!” in 10 popular languages: C, Java, Go, Python, Node JS, Ruby, PHP, PERL, Bash, C++ and a bonus markup language, HTML.
If you’ve never tried programming and are curious about coding, this lab is for you. Coding is interesting because multiple languages, much like human-spoken languages, can perform the same tasks. Just as some human languages are easier to speak and write than others based on personal preference, you may find some coding languages easier to understand.
Programming languages such as C, Java, Go, Python, Node JS, Ruby, PHP, PERL, Bash, C++, and HTML are some of the most popular. You can try out these eleven programming languages in a stress-free, well-guided, online lab environment.
You will learn how to print “Hello World” using C, Java, Python, Node JS, Go, Ruby, PHP, C++, PERL, and Bash. Then you’ll use the eleventh language, HTML, to display “Hello World” in your browser.
Upon completion, you will understand these popular scripting languages and their basic similarities and differences and be ready to explore more!

A Look at the Project Ahead
After completing this project, you'll be able to:
- Understand how to write and run code
- Display “Hello World!” in several languages: C, Java, Go, Python, Node JS, Ruby, PHP, PERL, Bash, C++, and HTML
- Obtain the same output using different programming languages
What You'll Need
For this project, you will need:
- Just a web browser!
Everything else is provided to you through the IBM Skills Network Labs environment, where you will have access to the programming language services that we offer as part of the IBM Skills Network Labs environment. This platform works best with current versions of modern browsers.
