Top 10 Programmers of the World

Programming is something out of this world. And programmers are the people who have evolved this thing and they have brought it in the real world of Human beings. You watch an animated movie, or you play a video game, or you run a software or you use internet. What is this? This is all the result of Programming and behind this the driving forces are the Programmers. Luckily, the age in which we are living, we have got one of the best programmers ever born on this Planet and they have devoted their Lives for this purpose.
