Hi everyonoe, am a student from UNIBEN wishing to start a career in either programming or networking. Though I have started with networking(CCNA). But am curious to know which holds the brightest future in Nigeria and world at large. Pls your opinions are welcomed. Thank you

Programmers do a lot of things, including networking. For example, the Applications that runs on networks, exchanging data are actually programming. Programming cannot really be separated from networking, even routers are embedded devices that are programed. My advice is, you can do networking but start to learn a programming language in addition. I suggest you start with simple and easy to learn languages like Python, PHP, etc, before moving to Java, C, etc, Programmers make lots of money.

Programming
I am just Obsessed with programming so I vote for programming

Wow! Thankx ƒor the enlightenment. Atleast i know am on track. I appreciate bro, more info let's keep it coming.

But I would like to start with vb.net

You can with vb.net if it suits your temperament as a beginner.

Temperament? I've used it before.Now I want to turn the heat on myself. Where can I get the book and Cd? I have checked Lagos--no luck. Even 2003 is okay for me.

Go online, there are lots of free programming texts to download. Use google.
I began with Python and later dabble with PHP. Now, I'm flexing with Java. These are what suits my temperament. I could not jump into java at the start cos the Object Oriented Programming stuff in java could flow into my brain then. Python, on the otherhand, led me gradually into the Object concept. Again, my temperament. You can start with any language of your choice. Most guys started with C, and they are doing great. Bro, the best way to start is to get started.
As regards study materials. I do not where you can get in Lagos cos I am not in Lagos currently. Like I said earlier, do google search and download useful ebooks, read them and practice alongside. In due time, you will gain proficiency. Thanks.e. In due time, you will gain proficiency. Thanks.

Thanku! I will go with the VB.net.It is a matter of deepening now on for u.Thanks

You can get Books on programming at Tejuosho Market in yaba. or go to Havila bookshop at palmgroove bus stop when going to Yaba they also have books on programming, but their books are xpensive.
cherioo as yu are welcome in2 da wild world of computer programming and make sure yu catch fun as go along.
