C++ and matlab, at least.

I tried studying c++a couple of years ago but a friend discouraged me.....he said java was better, I got confused and dropped it......

1. A laptop:

This is obviously a no brainer, but its mentioned deliberately here because in Nigeria, learning programming with Desktop computers as opposed to laptops usually wont work; thanks to epileptic power supply. The specs of the laptop is dependent on the type of programming you intend to do.

For Game Programming:
a. Laptop must have 8GB or more RAM memory
b. Laptop must have atleast Core i7- 6820HK processor
c. Laptop screen resolution should be 1920 x 1080 or higher
d. Laptop should come with Nvidia or GForce graphis card . –Never buy a laptop that comes with Intel dedicated graphics if you intend to do gaming.
e. Laptop should have minimum of 250gb hard disk.

For Desktop/Mobile App Programming:
a. Your laptop should be atleast 4gb Ram.
b. Processor should be core i5 or higher
c. At least 500gb hard disk space (for heavy duty IDEs)

For Web Programming :
a. Your laptop should be not less than 2g ram (can be less if you intend to not use localhost xampp/wampp servers.
b. Your laptop processor is not too important. Most decent laptops you will be offered will do except you intend to rely on IDEs as opposed to text editors like sublime text, notepad++.
c. At least 50GB hard disk space.

A laptop that is good for game programming, is good for all types of programming. While a laptop that is good for desktop/mobile app programming, will serve excellently for web programming as well. If you are on a low budget and target the laptop for web programming, you should know that it will be difficult to use it for gaming or for desktop/app programming.

More about laptops: Lenovo laptops are very strong but are harder to maintain (i.e. replace parts). Toshiba/Dell laptops are also good looking and strong, but most usually have battery problems after about 3 years (e.g. Plugged in; not Charging). HP Laptops are more fragile but are very easy to maintain since their parts are sold everywhere in Nigeria. HP Laptops, therefore, while neither the strongest, nor the most asthetically pleasing amongst available brands, seems to be the most pragmatic choice, especially when you are not doing game programming.

Also note that while older laptops are very tempting due to their lower prices, finding their parts (i.e. batteries) may be impossible.


2. Extra Batteries for your laptop:

Not knowing this is one of the reasons why many people are yet to take that leap into programming in Nigeria. You cannot depend on the power authorities in this part of the world for anything you deem “Important”. Hence, you must keep your power source under control by investing in batteries that will keep you going for at least a day after they’ve “taken the light” – after which you could go to the nearest “barber” shop and recharge them – and keep going.
While buying batteries, take the time to test each of them. Insert a cd/dvd in your laptop cdrom and take note of how fast the battery drains while the dvd/cd is playing. If it drains too fast; the battery is likely bad.


3. Atleast 9GB worth of Data each month:

You will need at least 9GB worth of data each month. This is because you will spend a lot of time online. If you intend to rely on video tutorials as opposed to text tutorials, you will need about 30gb each month.
Airtel Nigeria currently offers a data plan of 9G for 3500. This is really good for programmers on a low budget that live in eastern Nigeria and depend on text-based tutorials as Airtel coverage is better than Glo’s in this part of the country.
If, however, you are in northern or western Nigeria, then Glo has a lot of salivating data plans.


4. A good smartphone:

During your programming journey, every minute counts. When you are on the bus or waiting for someone at a park, you should be able to take out your phone and read a programming article or two. Also, you should keep in contact with good developers (like myself of course) using whatsapp.
As time goes on, you may also decide to go into mobile programming (a very sought after field) and your phone will come in handy then too.


5. Time…Lots of Time

We all have 24 hours a day and there’s nothing we can do to add anything on top of that. However, we can maximize our time by trimming our schedule greedily. My recommendation: Put off all social interactions till weekend. That alone should give you a 30 percent hike in available time. Trim your budget too so you don’t have to work anymore than you need to.

I believe every newbie should immerse him/herself in code for at least 4 hours each day. It can should be much higher, but 4 hours is minimum in my opinion.

Do you think I missed some tools? Kindly express your thoughts in the comment section. And please come back again tommorrow for another Nigerian Based programming article.

Listen to no one. There is no such thing as a better language. Depends on what you want to do. C++ is a very powerful language.
