Guys Help I Want To Build An App Like Whatsapp! by Nobody: 7:14pm On May 19, 2017
[b[i]]Thank you everyone for coming
It has always been my dream to create an IM like whatsapp and Google allo.
I started learning erlang (the programming language that created whatsapp) and it is difficult.
The problem is that l have no experience in computer programming.
I don't know whether I should continue erlang or start with the basics.
Please guys help:
Is there any other programming language I should learn (please specify)?
Is there any group I can connect (like whatsapp) where to meet fellow programmers?
How long should one learn a language to be called a boss?
What programming language will l need for Making IM?
What is the best way to learn a programming language, is it by writing down code or typing G into the computer?
How many years will I need to achieve this?
Is there any pdf or tutorials I can get?
GOD bless you as you help a brother I need

You really don't need to learn erlang. WhatsApp server is called ejabberd and it was built using Erlang because Erlang support for concurrency is great.
All you need to learn is XMPP specification, learn the rules to follow when communicating with an XMPP server like ejabberd.
Most languages already have XMPP client library created by industry experts.
If you are intrested in Java, you can check Smack by igniterealtime

https://github.com/igniterealtime/Smack

It's a full fledged XMPP client library that implements every feature that can be found in any XMPP server.

XMPP is a really advanced stuff. You have to be determined to understand it.

Hello. You do not need to learn erlang to create a chat application like whatsapp. You should know that programming languages are just tools. You can use any language you want to create the chat application. The developers of whatsapp chose erlang because that is what they know best. Just pick up javascript and you can create a chat application with Nodejs or Reactjs.

Best advice i can give will be to Learn Java, and then j2me, Or Since Java is dying now and Kotlin is coming up, Study and learn That instead.
Understand how sockets in general behave and how to send and receive bytes in Java and then try to do somethings using Client and server.

Most dumb guys here who mistake themselves for programmers will just be saying the stupid crap outta things like this to discourage you, but it can be achieved, use Java or Pascal. Skype was written in Pascal.

References to Read http://www.java-samples.com/showtutorial.php?tutorialid=738 and https://anujarosha./2011/07/26/chat-application-in-j2me/

Its Not impossible. It can be done.
Good luck.

In terms of Mobile development, Java (Would i say) Is dying, Read about Kotlin taking over java all over google. Your answers are there.
Languages like Python, Pascal, Objective C , C++ rock now, Your blackberry 10 OS is build on Momentix, Pure C++, even C# is shaking good hands with xamarin and Mono... just feed your eyes on google. Answers are there.
