Names of programming symbols

When we program, we realise how many symbols there are on the keyboard. We don't know the name of many of them, because we never use them outside source code. I'm sure we have all lived that awkward moment of pointing at where the key is, instead of saying what the letter or symbol is called. That's why, before we keep growing as professionals, it's worth stopping for a moment to learn their names in both English and Spanish.
