wwweb: I once made a quote that "the greatest impossibility in the world of IT, is the possibility of a computer doing what its not told to do. The computer can never have an idea" (Lukman J, 2012). So I agree with you 100%. Don't forget though, that the computer relies on your idea to think and strengthen its decision making process (using different constructs - if:else; while etc). So in other words, you are responsible for the thoughts, actions and inactions and it is important would-be programmers understand this principle. #Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .! 1 Like |

Ogaredu: Great Piece! i'm taking up HTML and CSS tutorial. it is kinda challenging and sometimes i feel like quitting, but this has really motivated me. those ain't even programming languages but guess what they r gud for a start if u wanna delve into web programming. HTML and CSS r just for design n web interface. so u need to square up. |

adelolaa: plz I need d answers urgently |
Re: So You Want To Be A Programmer...? by Javanian: 1:17pm On Sep 29, 2013 |
adelolaa: Why can't you save that money and take advantage of the numerous free online resources and learn on your own |
Re: So You Want To Be A Programmer...? by javalove(m): 1:44pm On Sep 29, 2013 |
Javanian: Thing is, not everyone can kick start learning on their own. Some need to be taught and they can build on what they have learnt. Others can just pick up books and become geeks in a few weeks. @adelolaa You can visit any of their centers. I attended the VI center #Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .! |

JavaLove, you appear to have missed my question on Page 2. Please where can i get NIIT ebooks online or were u reffering to e-books generally? |
Re: So You Want To Be A Programmer...? by Standing5(m): 3:06pm On Sep 29, 2013 |
Javanian could you please give your opinion on a suitable timeframe or syllabus with timeline for completion, my challenge is not that of laying my hands on e-books or variety of textbooks but where to focus on and how to pace myself. |
Re: So You Want To Be A Programmer...? by Tolutheo(m): 4:21pm On Sep 29, 2013 |
For starters codeacademy.com is a very resourseful site. |

javalove: So you want to be a programmer? ...... Is it necessary that one should enrol in NIIT or other recognized learning institutes before he can be eligible to write the professional exams? |

9free:Thank you. But, you will have to explain micro-controller programming for me before I will agree with you. Buying a micro-controller chip and programming it to work the way you want is particularly different from your normal every day programming language because the 90% micro-controller chip makers usually programmed them at the factory. Well, I don't think you understand me anyway. I have work with them before and I don't think you can deceive me on that. |

Pls how can you help me in developing my little knowledge about it, maybe ur contact? Or ...... In any way my email - surveyoroluseun@gmail.com |

Re: So You Want To Be A Programmer...? by Nobody: 8:16am On Oct 01, 2013 |
I started with java. Though i'm not finding it funny but i'm coping all the same. Being a mathematics student have been helpful. |
