A Tale of Two Programmers

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there were two programmers. They were called K and P. One day, they decided that they wanted to learn. So, off they went into the outside world, amidst torrents of rain and the howling wind, into a new world where dangers lurked around every corner. They went to the place then known as NIIT, and when they told the capitalist, over-charging and mind-controlling (yet knowledgeable) people at NIIT that all they wanted to do was learn, they laughed at them. They laughed a cruel, sarcastic laugh and banished them with the figure of eleven thousand big ones for a three-month course in the evil Microsoft's dark arts, then known as ".Net". K and P shunned the darkness; they were in pursuit of real knowledge. They sought the Light. This is their tale.
