Twice a week teaching of 2 kids after school hours.


Basic Java skills or any other strongly typed programming language essential.


Proximity to Egbeda-Ikotun axis important.


Interested persons can reach me via call/WhatsApp ..... closed

What ages are they? Are you looking at strong typed programming languages that encourage OOP or are u OK with Procedural paradigm?

How old are they? I think java is too ambigous for kids.
Teach them visual basic first or Python to get their interest.

I wont recommend Java for kids
Either JavaScript or Python
Java Setup can easily get them pissed off, not an advise but a suggestion. Who knows they could be genius and might be playing with assembly llanguage in less than 2months, I don't wwanna be a dream crusher

What would you recommend?

What would you recommend?

JavaScript, Python, even C.
Learning should be fun, those two languages can bring them up to speed. They can easily pick any other language after grasping the basic concept of programming.

As an adult and someone who's got a hang of how programming works, I find the verbose nature of VB annoying, talkless of a kid.

Makes no sense. WTF is "Dim myName as string;"?. Lol.

When there is "string myName;"

And don't even start me on a careless language as Python that teaches you it's OK not to terminate your program with semicolons. Lol.

I meant Basic with no visual. My typos sha.
I never likèd that vb.net one bit.

JavaScript is a beautiful programming language handicapped by being a loosely typed language.

I really love it's clean syntaxes but its good only for why it was created- to run in a browser.

BASIC is a nice first language. Problem is its limited in modern useful features.

My first language was FORTRAN, kinda similar to BASIC.

I actually thought of going the BASIC/FORTRAN route but thought about what would happen if I needed someone to take over teaching these kids. Where will I find someone who knows FORTRAN or BASIC?

At least, Java is very popular and many people know it and it has modern features still relevant today.

I think the sole purpose of programming lang is to solve problems computationly. Any language can do that.
But java is quite ambigous and has a deep learning curve. I tell you it took me 1 freaking year to master java core. Then i realised that i am still an intermediate when i saw java concurrency, regex, annotations. I just weak.
And the frameworks are just too much. I was busy mastering java 8 features unbeknowest to me java 11 is out!
And had already used swing for month until someone told me javafx is the future and swing updating has being stagnant.
Oracle are just messing around with java programmers. They cant make a frame work and stick to it.
Now they have also dropped development for javafx for Gluon community.
Ruby on rails might suite the kid tho i respect your opinion about java.

Wrong for tthe bolded
It runs in browser, mobile, server, and desktop.
The most distributed Language Today

Primary purpose is web. The main reason for its creation.

It takes 10 years of hardwork to master a programming language. I now see where you are coming from and the raesons for some of your answers.

But Luckily ffor the Programming World Java is now a Reborn Again, just go through ES16 documentation sweet and yummy like Garri Vannila
