I apologize if I came off as rude, but I de lie? You wake up, get to your computer or phone and launch a browser. How many *modern* PC apps do you launch a day? Not trying to be rude, but I don't think you should tell a beginner to learn stuff for the desktop when the money is in web and mobile apps!, they need to learn server language and how to manipulate databases. The only modern program written in C++ that I use consistently is Spotify, check out this article http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/15/spotify-confirms-web-app-in-the-works-currently-in-closed-beta/ others are Adobe, and Microsoft, those are legacy companies. I want the young hustlers to run to where the ball is going to be, not where it was. 5 Likes |

I think the industry is moving towards a point where desktop apps and mobile apps are going to be one. that is the future. do you know the average paycheck of a C/C++ developer? which awesome mobile app was written in python and php? do you know that part of the dev language for blackberry 10 is C/C++? and that of android is java? @zebudaya, you do not seem to be a developer because if you are, you would not have made this statement "they need to learn server language" what the heck is a "server language"? people like you are threats to Nigerian IT space. go and get experience before making this kind of post on an online forum. be advised. 1 Like |

haha.... ..lol. @Zouga, zebudaya, javanian and ciphoenix... I think Zebudaya is a quick-cash and a myopic *programmer or web guy. . . @zouga, you seem to have a bit of Linus Torvald's attitude... ..ohh. . . .anyway... Nobody should be disturbed... Wanting to make quick cash from programming is totally a bad idea. Also... Whatever language you choose, you can use it to make solid impacts in its relevant domain... and in today's world... 1 Like |

lordZOUGA: I think the industry is moving towards a point where desktop apps and mobile apps are going to be one. that is the future. When I say server language, I mean server-side scripting language. PHP (Like Facebook.com) Python (like Nairaland.com) Ruby (like shopify.com) framework (basecamp) You know what I mean, you just want to pick. You can insult me all you want, and state that I am not a programmer, that's cool. Steve Jobs was not, Jeff Bezos from Amazon is not. You said Blackberry 10 is written in C++. That's true, does one need to know C++ to write an app for Blackberry,Android, or IOS? Desktop software is dying. They are going to be one with the mobile and web apps, Learn fast or be a dinosaur. lordZOUGA: people like you are threats to Nigerian IT space. go and get experience before making this kind of post on an online forum. I'm a threat to the establishment who refuse to go with the times and insist on doing the same thing over and over again. Nigeria's IT space is weak, yet we are highly educated. WhiZTiM: haha.... ..lol. @Zouga, zebudaya, javanian and ciphoenix... Why study C++ and be chained to a salary your whole life? Learn something else and make entrepreneur money. The time for being a starving artist/broke programmmer is over. C++ is powerful, but it has weaknesses. That you don't really use it in writing web and mobile apps is a major flaw. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/417816/how-popular-is-c-for-making-websites-web-applications Regardless programmers please post a link to your work, The time for making noise on Nairaland is over. 7 Likes |

zebudaya: I don't know why the moderator hid my posts? Isn't it a free speech forum? Yes, it is a free speech forum but this isn't a free speech thread. It is a thread to help BEGINNERS choose a programming language and not a thread to start a language war and get them confused, and thats why i created a special thread for your arguements. Feel free to start as many thread and express your views but no this one.., Thanks for your understanding... 2 Likes |

There is no understanding. You censored me because you did not like what I had to say. The right thing to do, is to show my posts, and let the potential programming newbie judge for themselves. They are old enough to decide for themselves, and do not need you to hold their hand or give them the impression that there is only one path. |

Look i have no problem with you i welcome your contributions. If you want to suggest Ruby, Python and PHP i have no problem with that. Just write a small article on them telling the newbies what they can acheive with these languages. DONT tell them to turn down any other language because you would be confusing them, let them make their choice. The moment you speak against any language you will turn this thread to a language war and i wont allow that.... 4 Likes |

I've been learning Python for some months, and having gone through some introductory books, I'd say I've grasped the basis of programming and the Python language. Now it seems I'm stuck at the beginner level as what I've accomplished are just the simple textbooks exercises. I need advice and direction, like a career development plan, on what it takes to be a software developer. Where do I go from here? Thanks. |
