What is the first program?

What is the first program for beginners?

"Hello, world!"?
Is it fun?

If they use C# or VB.NET, Windows application is better.
If they use Ruby (Ruby on Rails), Web application is better.

20 print "hello world!"

that was short and sweet...

I think that irb (interactive ruby) can be an alternative to BASIC.
