| Am A Novice by Nobody: 9:34pm On Jan 01, 2014 |
My fellow NLders who have knowledge on Core ICT. Please I have a few questions to ask you. Am a novice in d whole ICT stuff and don't want to remain as I am (New year's resolution), so help me out.
1. I want to learn Programing and Web Design. I didnt study Computer Science or Engineering, is there a way out? If there is, what are the first and second steps?
2. Is the knowledge of maths very important in learning these? Am very good in maths though.
3. What is the statistics of programmers, ICT gurus and the likes in Nigeria?
4. How where you before going into ICT? What prompted to go into ICT? did u stumble on it? How did you feel when you started out?
5. Can I use my family desktop computer for all these stuff? What operating system is d most advisable to use?
6. Does your academic brilliance play a very important role in this field?
7. Will you become a Geek when you are an indepth ICT specialist?
8. Are the languages and terminologies hard to understand?
9. Must you have 24hr internet access to do your thing?
10. How profitable is it, financially
Some of these questions sound weird but I realy need answers to them.
Thats all for now. Thanks a lot. |

Most programmers are self taught programmers, no need for maths. Only your brain can determine how profitable it
Learn to keep your mouth shut on things you know nothing of. |

Thats all for now. Thanks a lot. 1. You must not study CS/CE to learn and grasp web programming/ design concept. You can aquire this knowledge as long as you are motivated, dedicated and focused. Studying and practicalizing on your own is essential in making you proficient in this ever evolving, enterprising and interesting field. Moreover, staying abreast with the latest web technology - it's always changing - is vital in keeping you competitive in the industry. 2. The knowledge of Maths is not a compulsory pre-requsite in learning these. However, Maths makes one logical. And Logic is essential in shaping you into a good web programmer/ designer. 3. ICT is a growing industry. For you to be a so called Guru, you must be passionate about it and eager to continue learning, which some Nigerians find irritating. Therefore, the statistics is in the moderate level. 4. I love challenging subjects in part with artistry and fundamental science. To put it simply, creativity enriches my soul. So this makes me curious to continue learning. I am still a work in progress though, in the field. 5. Of course, you can use your family PC. Nevertheless, it should be up to date with an effective Operating system like windows 7 and latest browser. This is important, because as web development technology changes and improves, OP/Browser compatibility is crucial in keeping your websites efficient. 6. Your academic brilliance plays a role in whatever subject you choose to do. If you are passionate about your choosen field of study/work and also see it more like fun than a job that fetches money, it helps. When you go into certain technical fields or others for that matter, Money shouldn't come first or you could end up frustrated. 7. You will be identified as a 'geek' before you know it. In fact, what is that? Is being a geek a social status? Haha.. Meanwhile, such identity doesn't hurt. 8. The languages and terminologies are not hard. But as you know in life, nothing truly important comes easy. You have to have your way around them by devicing an easy method of study and GOOD BOOKS by experienced authors in the Web development industry to stay in line with solid developers as you have in the more established and developed western countries. 9. You must not necessarily have 247 access to the internet. You can code and test it on a browser without internet. You only need internet when you are uploading your finished work on to a server and hosting it. 10. Perseverance and Patience is the key. With the widespread use of Computer devices/internet of things including mobile phones, security, houehold items like TV, machines and so on.. It is lucrative industry. And if you happen to come up with a good idea that people like, you could be a MADE millionaire / billionaire before you know it. I hope this gives you an insight on your step ahead. Drop you email, I shall forward you an E-book for starters. Jah Bless 1 Like |
