Am fine dearie and I understand u wella jare afteral, no knowledge gained is ever a waste so cari on

U welcome too dear and yeah, my day's bin aii, trust urs was too

Sure, It was. A better night even.

MizMyColi:
What is it about programmers that makes them thick

The statement above is one of sincere ignorance and envy

Are [Great] programmers born or made?

The recent public announcements made by the admin of this forum got me thinking out loud:

"If only I understand this their language, I would be in the know if this guy is trying to play on my intelligence or just being plain sincere"

"if only, if only, if only."


I come to this board more oft with the intent to contribute even a "good morning" and then I feel so out of place, yet I'm interested in programming....coding especially [I hope the two words do not mean the same]

I've only heard of HTML and CSS recently, A friend even volunteered to teach me and the only thing I could grasp from his lesson - which btw I'm not quite sure of now is "How to differentiate a CSS website from an HTML website"

Another friend sent me loads of e-books on programming and hacking for beginners and I just couldn't get past the first stage, yet I want to be like you guys

I guess the reason I loose interest is because I'm the relational kind (I love people). If I can't relate with what is being taught as it pertains to people/humans....then I'm likely to lose interest.

The epistle above is a call for help.
1). I want to be able to contribute meaningfully to this section (with time)

2). Are programmers born or made (can just about anyone become a programmer with the right tutoring)?


Teach me. Anyone please?

dtito:
hello sweedie...it fell so Gud u r interested in programing....b4 u can hack or learn encoding and rest u must have a basic knowledge of 2 or more programing language and be gud at it....web design is likely not very complicated....all u need to do is understand d basic of any programing language...... I studied computer science bt can't even boost completely of any language... just had only d basic knowledge..... will be nice if u can forward me with d books u received maybe I could teach ma self and u learn from me...am so interested in u and everytin...pls I need does books like mast..

Thanks. I'll send you a PM (as per the e-books) as soon as I have access to a PC and Fast internet. Basic Knowledge, that's what I'm looking to garner too.

luxanne: @mizmycoli: Lmao! @ ur being banned, u must have hurt the spambot feelings or a relation of the spambot, lol.


Pls i need a copy of that comment, wanna know who got u mad n wot u replied romance section and it's chaos, can't stand it, lol

dre11:


seems ure that angry/pissed with moi to have ignored mah mails since wednessday

afternoon

.....I've just replied now. So sorry.

MizMyColi: SirBigH Kingphilip Dygeasy (that your reply to kiddablingzz have been my thoughts exactly )

Sorry I can't reply your quotes, mentions and posts. I've been banned from the Rom section till tomorrow.

Guess I ruffled a/some feather(s) ....

I feel somewhat excited though, getting my first NL ban ....It's good I saved a copy of what I posted.

ToyinDipo: Programmers are born and at the same time made. And being a programmer goes beyond writing some lines of peripheral codes. If you don't have affinity for programming, don't waste your time on it, and you will be safe from unnecessary headache.

dre11:

guy mah...
I see u after a long time
whats happening nah....

ToyinDipo:
I deyoo, I've just been trying to survive.

dre11:

no wahala....
Abeg make we no derail this beautiful lady topic.....

We go catch later...
I hope say runs dey tight wella

ToyinDipo:

Yeah, we thank God. How ur syd?

Noted Sir.

MizMyColi: Noted Sir.

asalimpo: Actually,i thnk as a girl/lady/woman/female your sex may b against you.
Women are wired differently from men and rely more on their emotions for livg/workg. Jobs tht require less emotional input can b very hard for a woman, not tht she cant understand it but operating for long periods emotionlessly is suffocatg to d female thn to d male.
Note this in ur foray into programming.
Programmng requires cold-hard logcal step-by-step repititious thinkg. A woman can do it so can a man. For the first 100 cycles of ths practce it maynt hurt,for the 100 000th cycle it may seem stuffy for d butterfly mind (no insults intended).
So wat makes programmg hard?
Is it d concepts? Partly. Id say programmg concepts contribute 50 % of d complexity. The rest is d emotional requiremnt. Which is very steep. It says you must,using ur willpower,morph ur mind from a volatile/mercurial type(a butterfly) into a steady/fixed/laser-type accutate type (a mule). This is where the pain is. Forget wat any book will tell this is a dying process. You kill the butterfly to resurrect a mule or a cross breed (mule+lion+owl)
. The kinda mind tht can debugg code all night ,to fix a glitch.
The kind of mind tht will stalk a beautiful concept like a lion stalkg prey.
The mind with d patience of a vulture.
Ths is where many quit. So if ur willing to pay d price . Com on in,join d club.

*note the ratio of female-to-male coders in ths room. Vs the romance rooms*

I agree with you sir. In other words, Women deal more with their hearts than their head, which is a sharp contrast when it comes to Men. However, and in truth, I'm looking to use my head more than my heart [Talk of partial de-emotionalization ]

spikesC:

Damn, you must have wasted that guy's time

CoolHunk:
LMAO

kaboninc: Are programmers born or made?

Let's see your thought(s)

MizMyColi: Let's see your thought(s)

kaboninc: I see everyone as a programmer. The most important feature of a 'programmer' is having a logical way of reasoning.

Urine:

I don't think it's a gender thing, it's more of personal interest. I attended grad school with a bunch of females, right now all the guys have either taken employment or started their own companies while 70% of the females are PhD students.

I've rolled with so many female programmers that I no longer believe it's a gender issue.

Fulaman198:

100% agree, some of my brightest professors were female. It really has nothing to do with gender.

MissMeiya:

Hooray for you and... Urine? (My friend, what kind of name...)

Female STEMers for the win

lordZOUGA: So, are they born or made?

I think they are made.

I believe every human has the capacity to think logically. whether they want to do that for a prolonged period of time is the question.

dhtml:
Abinibi is different from Ability. Some people may do all they can, but cannever progress to being a programmer. . . . .despite the fact that they may be geniuses in other things.
