Programmer's Day 2012

On the 256th day of the year, programmers celebrate their professional holiday. Usually this day falls on September 13, but in a leap year the date shifts one day earlier. In this way, Programmer's Day 2012 falls on September 12.

Why the 256th day? This number is not chosen by chance. 256 (two to eight degrees) Is the number of different values (codes,states), which can take an eight-bit byte - a unit of storage and processing of digital information. Also this is the maximum whole degree of two, which is less than 365 - the number of days in a year.

The first to celebrate the Programmer's Day offeredDmitry Mendrelyuk, head of the publishing house Computerra, July 15, 1996. As the day of celebration, the first Friday of September was chosen. It was called "Clean Friday", because the editorial board of "Computerra" offered to arrange general cleaning of media from this extra file on this day.

However, the official holiday of the Programmer's Day was due to Valentine Balta, employee of the web studio "Parallel Technologies." It was he who in 2002 organized the collection of signatures under the appeal to the Government of the Russian Federation with a request to recognize the 256th day of the year as the official holiday of programmers.

However, the draft presidential decree "On the dayprogrammer "was prepared by the Ministry of Communications and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation and was submitted to the government of the Russian Federation only seven years later, on July 24, 2009. September 11, 2009 Dmitry Medvedev signed this decree, and a new official professional holiday was born - Programmer's Day.

Many people associate programmingexclusively with personal computers. In fact, programming is not only related to the computer programs that we use, and the websites we visit. Software Development is in demand now in many spheres of our life, and compiling programs for computers (computer programming) is only a small part of programming in general.

Since the profession of the programmer is becomingmore popular and popular, among your friends there will surely be someone who is somehow connected with programming, and, most likely, not even one. Be sure to congratulate your friends "programmers" on the Programmer's Day 2012, because the importance of this profession in the modern world is difficult to overestimate.
