What is FizzBuzz?

The first reference on the web I found to the "FizzBuzz Question" was in a Coding Horror blog post back on February 26, 2007. Although the author is quoting another blog post, this is where I first heard of the "FizzBuzz Problem". FizzBuzz is a litmus test during interviews for software developers which essentially tries to answer the question, "Can you write any software at all?" with an extremely simple problem, stated as:

Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to 100. But for multiples of three print "Fizz" instead of the number and for the multiples of five print "Buzz". For numbers which are multiples of both three and five print "FizzBuzz".

So, this is a project with FizzBuzz samples?

No. This 'project' contains all the work I do for various personal projects. I needed a free wiki and source code repository, so here I am. I'm calling this fizz-buzz because I anticipate putting more than 10 years of code up here eventually. So, it kind of feels like a programmer litmus test of sorts.

WikiStart is probably the best place to start looking at any notes I might have.
