Pls I want to learn IBM spss, the computer sch I went told me 60k, Pls is it worth it?

If it was free, I won't even tell you it's worth it. I hardly have any idea what IBM spss means but I'm certain there isn't a high demand for it. Your time would be better utilized learning to program.

Which of them is hottest in demand??

1. None of them
2. All of them
3. It depends

But if you're looking to make a career in Nigeria then go for web/mobile development. Thats 90% of the tech market in Nigeria.

I'm about learning python. Do you think I can do web/mobile development with python alone?

I have no prior knowledge about programming but I'm willing to learn

I know many of you are wondering how you could create a program.
Without wasting much of your time, I'll drop a link to website and youtube channel where
you can find videos on programming languages.
Such as HTML/CSS, JAVA, Android and Games also.
All you need is to follow the videos accordingly and put into daily practice.
Simply visit the below website:

In case of questions, join our forum and leave a message which will be responded by
professionals all for free. http://.net/7Uu8Eo

I wish you happy learning.

JavaScript. Dont waste your time with legacy languages like java or .net or even c#. Learn JavaScript, the the most popular Front End JS frameworks right now are Angular Js and React Js. There are many more , in order to stay competitive in this industry you much be prepared to learn new ones

Use NoSql databases such as mongodb to wet your beak in basic backend architecture then work your way out to relational databases. The MEAN stack is a popular architecture , understand what node js does and where it fits there.

Please dont waste your time with legacy systems there might be jobs but they are dwindling fast.

Heavy I agree with this, Newbies learning to code should face Full Stack Javascript. that is where the web development (the biggest part of software development) is heading to, here are some of what I recommend;

HTML - the structure of web pages
CSS - the visual style of web pages
Bootstrap - a "responsive design" tool that helps your websites look great on tablets and phones
jQuery/Ajax - [/b]an easy tool for controlling content in the browser
[b]Chrome DevTools - [/b]a tool for understanding and debugging websites, right in your browser
[b]JavaScript - [/b]the one programming language that all web browsers use
[b]Common algorithms -
step-by-step recipes for getting things done
Agile - [/b]a set of software development principles that focus the design and production of a project on the needs of its users
[b]Git -
a version control system for saving and sharing your projects
Either a popular relational database like PostgreSQL or a popular non-relational database like MongoDB
Node.js - [/b]an event-driven platform for creating web servers and scalable network applications.
[b]Express.js - [/b]a powerful web development framework
[b]Chai.js or Jasmin.js
for testing
Angular.js or React.js are nice-to-haves, though you'd be amazed how much you can accomplish just by using jQuery!

I really recommend JS frameworks , it will save you a ton of headache esp when it comes to the standardized and structured way of doing things i.e resuable code. But yes my colleague here has expanded on the tools used today
