ThePlainTruth:Not really. A solid grounding in web development HTML, CSS, Javascript, React and PHP is enough to learn Magento. 3 Likes 1 Share |

tensazangetsu20: Correction: But again I feel that for anyone to be a good Magento certified developer then that person must have a solid grounding in computer science or software engineering programming. I will do some research into their syllabus to find out. |

People saying it's overpopulated. I just laugh. Yes it's populated with mediocres and not true experts. If everyone is learning how to program doesn't mean they actually know what they are doing. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Maj196:Plus many never reach that point of entry level. Give ten guys laptops today and money for data to go and learn coding. In a year time, only one might have made it. Most times none will even make it. That it's hot and everyone is running into it doesn't mean that everyone has the endurance to reach the end. 5 Likes |

ThePlainTruth:Programming is like every other profession; no job is guaranteed. There are millionaire tailors and there are poor tailors. There are millionaire PhD holders and there are poor PhD holders. There are billionaire entrepreneurs and there are poor entrepreneurs. So nothing special about programming. It's just another opportunity to get a good life for yourself. And the truth is I know many folks making hundreds of thousands monthly from programming. I know few folks making millions from it too. That said, many people think IT is all about programming but this is wrong. There are many folks making millions from IT without going into programming at all. If you're good in using SPSS you can get a good job. If you're good in ArcGIS you can get a good job/contract. If you're good in 3D animation with blender you can get juicy contracts. That's just to name a few. Low-key, many youths are making millions from IT. Just as there's high supply of service sellers there's also high demand for these services and there's lots of money it. Add to that, these skills require no capital except your time, a laptop and data sub so the entry barrier is low. Finally, many people focus on building their hard skills a d forget to build their soft skills. Whereas it's these soft skills that will help them get contracts and build relationships. Soft skills like writing and documentation, networking, interpersonal relationships, LinkedIn etc. I hope this helps. 20 Likes 4 Shares |

The most embarrassing thing is that most of this so called programers cannot even put two lines of code together Programers are problems solvers but you cannot solve problems when when you get no skills. The so-called Nigeria programers are bunch of hungry mofos with zero skills. All they do is copy peoples work and sell it to others. I dropped a tutorial on rollover betting tips... explaining to football punters how to make money in football betting via rollover bets. Many people home and abroad read the tutorial and liked it. Here on nairaland majority are now claiming to be the master and originator of rollover bets. Some are even going about scaming people with it. So what we have in Nigeria are bunch of copy cat mofos who always want the easy way out. Programming is not something that quench your immediate need for food. Go and farm if you are hungry and need some little cash. But for those who truly want to become a computer programmer, know that it takes a lot of work. You will work like never before in your life. Days will be coming and going too fast for your liking because you won't have much time. Over all, you must be a problem solver..if you cannot use your programming skills to better the lives of those in your community then you are not there yet. 9 Likes 1 Share |

I was learning programming with full passion to become a senior developer. Honestly I remember trying to build my first responsive website. It was a herculean task. I succeeded, it was fun but I couldn't get a job with my skill.. Thank God for the experience. But I made the best decision of my life last year. Dropping programming for more profitable but difficult skill I wouldn't mention. 1 Like |

I am a developer with over 3 years solid experience in writing c#, Python, javascript, html,css, razor, flutter and dart I can tell you that even if 100k people enter into programming now, The job will still be on high demand. All you need to do is just be good at what you do, jobs will come for you. Do not be discouraged to get into the field, dont think that people with computer science degree are favored more. I hold a political science degree and only learnt to code I currently do two jobs a remote job from a company in the UK and an onsite job in Lagos Nigeria. I would advice any one who wishes to pick up programming to be very conscious of that decision and follow it till the end. (although there is no end, as technology keeps on changing the demand for sophisticated developers increases) Keep up with the trend in your chosen language and framework. Peace. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Web development is over populated. 90% of them are not very good. It takes a lot of time and discipline to become good at programming. |

If you program not to be self employed, am honestly telling it can be frustrating am sure one solution can change a life line i remember this nigerian banker guy that sold his hospitality app to apple that was valued $800m well thats all my interest in programming i really find it a hobby, if job come by it fine |

CSTRR:It's not over populated at all plus the internet as we know and use it is not even up to 30 years old. The development craze in Nigeria just started seven years ago. How many people were crazy about the field as of like 2013 or 2012 besides not every one crazy about it eventually makes it. |
Re: Programming Is just Like Playing Football by Nobody: 1:59pm On Apr 23, 2021 |
The ability to create something out of nothing is the MAIN ingredient needed to be successful. And to win, one needs to discipline himself to be patient and silent. Strategic Management which produces success is the way out. Whether you are into programming or football. Less than 0.01% of the human has this. 1 Like |
