Programmer's Day - an unofficial holiday programming, which is celebrated on the 256-day year. Number of 256 (two in the eighth power) is chosen because it is the number of numbers that can be expressed by one byte. In leap years, this festival falls on September 12, nevisokosnye - on September 13.
Often the word "programming" and everything associated with it, is associated with the average person only with the PC, but it is not. Virtually every electronic device - from the remote control to complex industrial machines with computer control - in due time passed through the hands of specialists in programming.
We are every hour from the fruits of the works that made the programmer. Do we look TV, listen to a radio, talking on a phone - we use the fact that the programmer has created. Perhaps no profession does not cover such a broad scope of our lives.
And although it is still the holiday entirely virtual, fruits of the work of our glorious programmers are very real. The value of professional programmers in everyday life is difficult to underestimate. This sort of activity is becoming more popular and, at the same time, symbolizes the vanguard of modern society.
