First You Guys must go to School, despite the fact that I am not a school fan their is no alternative to education.
Bad education is better than an noneducational. And Second of all Software Engineer don't code they design software.

first, I admire ur courage and zeal. however ALTHOUGH GOING TO SCHOOL IS NOT AN ASSURANCE OF MAKING IT IN LIFE, I STILL WOULD ADVICE YOU TO GET AN EDUCATION WHILE TIU PURSUE UR DREAM. NO KNOWLEDGE IS WASTED..2. to study software engineering you have two choices, a. get a mentor,to train you while you also train ur self (self development) or enroll in a school e.v aptech, hiit or niit. (tutored development). the first is longer, cheap and frustrating, time consuming but rewarding and impartive. the second is expensive, quick , enjoyable and rewarding. so.....make ur choice

Oh yeah, don't compromise education because you Wonna start a dream, you forget that it takes like almost forever to get thru a proposal to big organisations these days. So while you wait, you might be employed in a company... and they don't employ illiterate, sorry.

Wish you luck all the same.

Not true at all... you are half right


soft ware engineers according to Google technical dev Guide are too write codes in Java, python, C and the rest

software engineers both write and design software

No buts here. One who doesn't go to school, one way or the very other would shy and lock out when the time comes. Don't ever endeavour to join illiteracy with computer science or any other job. You don't know where your blessing comes

That is a good drive, but if you are thinking not to go to school, then be ready to give 100% determination and commitment, that is the only plan B involved

By all means go to school if you can. If not, take a Python/Django course at Anchorsoft Academy and change your life.
They are really good and I will always recommend them whenever I can.

A huge number of various programming languages have been made, and more are being made each year. By different estimations, the number of production-ready programming languages in the world varies from 400 to 600. Many programming languages are written in a basic structure. It's not hard to pick out the TOP-10 of leaders from all the variety of languages. More info here.

This should give you a guide on how to achieve your dream career.


From Car Wash Attendant To Software Developer


Let me take you through the pages of my software development journey. I started considering programming when my friend got his first job as a developer.

We have lived together for a while and so I knew what his life practice was. My friend struggled to afford the basics of life.

His last routine before he became a software developer was going to a car wash not too far from home to hustle_ not caring what anyone thought of him but rather what he taught of himself.

He would leave early in the morning and return around 7:00pm in the evening. Then he would pick up his long programming notes and study. He would sleep briefly before the power would be restored. He would wake up around 11:30pm or so to the flourish of fluorescent bulbs after light had been restored. Then he would spend the rest of the night coding and researching until power trips off at 4:30am or so after which he’d connect to his kettle, perform ablution and then say his night prayers.

He blew his very first interview and got a job. That means: from a car wash attendant to a software developer.

I followed the same path; I blew my very first interview and got my first job along with a few freelance jobs. Mine happening within a year. Now I freelance at www.afrocodez.com and give programming tips on Afrocodez Media Channel.

The moral of the story is: my friend knew the hell of the programming language he was learning likewise I. And that's quality. And the reward? Obviously not having to wait for years before getting a job or projects to work on.

I wish you a life filled with quality inputs met with complimentary quality rewards.
