Afternoon Nairaland programmers.
Please, i have passion for programming, but i'm very,very...i mean very,very poor at mathethamtics.would it be possible for me to become one...i mean a programmer?
Please help me out..and God bless y'all.

If you have a logical mind and hav d gift of persistence you will go far.
You also need to b averagely intelligent. It's not really about mathematics except u're writng highly mathematical software.

Yhu can bii anything yhu want My Son

Thanks bro...(not boasting) sir...had never failed any subject before..except math..i can't get math right..maybe i'm curse with that or somethings...
..i'm a very pesistencing type....
I love programmin so much.....i'm currently learnin java..it was fun until my tutor start introducin maths in.....
....once again thanks for ur contribution..

Excuse me, I only sabi multiplication table reach 3 times table (dont quote me though), but i no dey slack for programming. See what I am single-handedly working on - www.Nairaland.com, and i shall soon complete it too mind you. When I am stuck, google is my friend. . . .the remaining na just idealogy (idea is needed).

No, you can't



































Sure, you can

You are actually in the best position to answer your question. I ask you, Do you want to be a programmer?

*funny you*
Thanks anyway...
Had hired..uncountable maths tutor..during my ss days..i made my math teachers my best friends...and me..thier pet, but yet math failed to penetrate thru my thick skull into my little-tiny brain...
I know i will succeed on being programmer.cus i'm highly determined.

Hehehe, i wish you the best

i appreciate...@Dhtml..
..css and html was a piece cake to me..
But java is just a freakin bone.

When you say piece of cake. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .they are not that straight forward as you think. People tend to under-estimate HTML/CSS and make a lot of mistakes about it.
If you can design a layout similar to what i did on Nairaland, and make it work across all browsers [stupid browsers like: internet explorer 6, opera mini, Netscape 9, mobile phones, tablets and regular desktop browsers] (with basically html/css), then and then only, maybe you are licensed to call html / dhtml a piece of cake.
As per languages, I can claim expertise of over 10 programming languages - dont be deceived by the name "dhtml" (just a moniker).

#dhtml
ok sir *oga@dtop*
but am just good at what i do and i do what i do best...can i make u my tutor

Very easy with a css framework.... But quite time consuming without a framework.

YOUNGSTUNA pls be deceived by his moniker...

The number of programming languages a person knows doesn't matter its how you use it and how fast you want to complete a project that matters.

But in the words of Bjarne Stroustrup "you can't call yourself a professional if u don't know at least 5 languages".

^^^That's just his opinion.

There is no frontend framework that will give you that functionality I just described, not even bootstrap - don't even go there at all. Some things are best done using generic coding. Is twitter / facebook using bootstrap and all those nonsense libraries? Godmode, you speak like a copy-paster, too much talk and no action.

When you know multiple languages, it makes you a better programmer. In fact it is said that to be a good hacker, you must know at least 5 solid languages. If you are a one-language person, you will never appreciate the power that comes with knowing multiple languages - because you have never wielded such a power - so attempting to commonize it is just an attempt to make yourself look foooolish. @Godmode

Twitter created bootstrap so they use it.

Who said anything about been a hacker

Some people just want to be programmers...

The beginner web developer needs knowledge of at least 2 languages (one client side and one server side)

I don't consider html/css and SQL programming languages but they are needed in web development..

For desktop, a person will only need C/C++ or Java or python. What's the point of learning all 4 of them when a person can hire experts in those languages.

Most desktop coding languages can do the same thing.. Like I said in my previous comment

"The number of programming languages a person knows doesn't matter its how you use it and how fast you want to complete a project that matters."

Means that the time a coder will use to create a program will determine the language of choice.

It is Very Possible for U to Become a Programmer @Young

Greetings to U o...........Lets Take it easy @DHTML & GODMODE & Pastor

sure u can ...but only u can answer the question

Guys, guys, guys..no fightin plsss..
Am a beginner....pls.
I wanna start with java,i will further go for visual BASIC..c++ and php
I really appreciate you guys so much for y'all helpful contribution

It mayb tht nobody ever taught u maths right. You may com to this conclusion wen/if u become adept at self teachg.

during my school days it was always a 'd' or an 'f' when it comes to math.
what you need is determination and constant practice, enjoy encountering problems and be proud when you solve them, I currently work with Java, JavaScript php and c++
