qtguru: We are starting our WordPress , it will be in the format of a 30 minutes talk on each subject daily starting today at 2 - 2:30 it will be recorded and placed on slack.
Thanks
The slack link has been revoked. Please drop another one.
MALIGNANTGuest: She's correct. Not a normal scene at all, not even at the MMIA Except during FESTIVE Periods. She may likely be an AIRPORT staff. She just gave you the statistics and you're wishing her death. I use the Airports regularly and such scenarios are uncommon.
We are now to quick at dishing out devastating curses. We move d same character 2 developed world & get hated, imprisoned or deported d next day. After all, u can't give what u don't have. Very soon the WORLD will declare Nigerians persona non grata. U think we are important in this world, right. That's too Sad.
I've been using that airport since 2011 and that's a normal scene. Problem is that it's an international airport with just one terminal so it will always be crowded. This is not even much, go there on a Saturday evening and see crowd.
This is not to say people aren't leaving Nigeria in droves.
ReactJs: That’s a big lie boss. A very big one in fact! What are you even saying. Bro i have 2 friends in Frankfurt and Berlin. They both got jobs from here and i know them personally they do not have degrees. I trust you know HNG internship right? A top guy there that i know personally is also in Germany. He left Ambrose Ali. These jobs with options to relocate literally take care of everything for you.
You're right and he's also right. You see those your friends they left to Germany on a work permit but if they had a degree they'd have left on an EU blue card. You can google to see how much advantage one has over the other.
DDayve: Hello mentors in the house, I am a newbie web developer and I have been struggling with React for some days now. Gurus in the house, please how did you go about it when you learned React. Please help a brother
Go to YouTube, download Traversy Media's JavaScript crash course and Mosh's JavaScript fundamentals for react.
Activist001: Do you have an affordable one you can recommend? Most headphones I've been seeing these days are too expensive (100k+)
I use Airpod pro(guess that might be too expensive). Go to konga and search for it, you should get cheaper ones. Make sure you google for reviews before paying.
Activist001: Coding like other brain-tasking activities requires some level of quietness for your brain to process and work on stuff and be more productive.
It looks like everywhere in Nigeria is no infested with noisy humming sounds from neighbor's generators and this stuff is almost impossible to escape from unless you live in some sort of GRA or something.
I'm a student in one of the federal universities in Nigeria and I live in a lodge off-campus and it looks like everyone in this whole community uses generators and it can be very noisy especially at night when I need to concentrate and get stuff done.
How do you guys cope with this? It seems like something one can't run away from these days.
tensazangetsu20: YouTube projects are garbage. Reading other people's code taught me how to use context API. Funny enough the react course I was using never mentioned this.
I learnt context API on YouTube. The key to courses on YouTube is checking the date and looking at title attached to the timestamps. Not all YouTube projects are garbage.
Mamaab: Good day professionals. I have a 9yr old son who I think will fare well in either computer programming, software developer, software & hardware engineer or so.
I am just a regular computer user who have zero knowledge on the aforementioned prospects. Pls, someone should tell me where to start from. I am more inclined to the software/hardware prospects
Is his age too small? Do we have specialised learning centres that I can enrol him?
ClixMaster: Headache nearly finish my life in the past 2 weeks trying to do the one he gave me . I don even dump am sef . Let me continue learning.
Continue Learning but the true test of learning is your ability to build stuff. Don't give up, try to come back to it later. You can also read about Flexbox and CSS Grid.
Sheffdon: Now, to be honest, I just clocked 26. I was done with my sec. education way back in 2012. Due to one problem to the other, i couldn't further. I had to involve myself in some menial jobs to sustain myself for the meantime and along the way, i learned phone and computer engineering and i do brush through some very important books occasionally.
This is where I need your wise opinion guys. Dad got into a problem when i was about to finish sec. School and since then,hes been repaying debt till now. Infact, debt has consumed all his salary. He's just borrowing from peter to pay Paul to survive.
And he's still of the opinion that i go to school. I got admission to study pharmacy at OOU in 2018, paid the acceptance fee but couldn't pay school fees and i lost it for good. So he wants me to try again but where will he even see the money when school wahala comes again? He's gonna go the borrowing way again i guess; compounding the problem we have at hand
So I've been thinking....what if i go back to factory work, then get myself a computer and learn programming "frontend development for a start"? I want to dedicate atleast 1 to 2 years to learn it. Then after that, i would proceed to school either on part time or full because i still want to further my education to get the b.sc cert. at the minimum.
Honourable men and women, CONSIDERING THE NIGERIA OF TODAY, i need your wise words at this critical junction of my life.
If I'm done with the programming, can it atleast sustain me a little bit?
Should I faithfully follow my dad's intention or just go through my own plan?
Thanks
Programming changed my life. It can change yours too the only thing you need to do is not giving up while learning.
Israel6767: Sir, the fact is, I don't even know any branch of software engineering, I chose software engineering cause from the little I read, it covers all or rather major programming languages.
I will follow your advice on YouTube, but sir, what do I start with? Which programming language do I start with? Thanks a lot sir.
Check the last Youtube link I posted. You can start from there.
Israel6767: Good day sir, I am also a complete beginner in programming, how do I start? I have a hp 15... Also, sir, I called up a few computer institutes today to inquire about Software Engineering, sir, I must say the prices are; God have mercy (I'm looking for less than 100k) Please sir, what your advice on other courses I can apply for as I don't have enough funds for the Software Engineering? Thanks so much sir, I am looking for a tutor, too, if you are too busy sir, can you refer me to a computer institute (I want be certified). I am based in Lagos sir. I anticipate your response soonest. Thanks once again sir.
My advise will solely depend on knowing what branch of Software Engineering you're interested in. You don't need to bother yourself about any institute, YouTube is the only teacher you need right now, everything you want is there.
I'm a newbie to the world of programming and will love to learn programming, my interest is in web development.
Which language(s) should I start from?
I just signed up on udemy, I heard python can easily be start with, I later saw that for web dev, it's preferably to start with HTML, I need advise on which to start with.
Lastly, due to financial constraints, can I start learning using a mini laptop or what should be the minimum specs of a laptop I should get to start with?
thatthickgurl: I'm learning web development, to an extent, I Know HTML and CSS, but it's like every time I look, there's always something I'm yet to learn. I feel like it'll take me up to 10 years to be proficient.
I checked a thread and I was seeing strange languages; ReactJs, Native, Kotlin,e.t.c
I've been in this industry for a good number of years and I can tell you that feeling of doubt never leaves. So it's a normal thing.
When you say you know HTML and CSS to an extent, do you mean if I give you a random design right now you'll be able to code it from scratch?
easzypeaszy: Please mostly I see people ask some of this questions here like; 1M naira job per month in Nigeria or Moving Abroad Can 5M be enough to travel to Canada and lots more.
Please my own questions on traveling abroad because I really need to get out ASAP Staying here will make my enemy remain poor because am not seeing any hope in this country.
-My salary is just 50k per month -I have never travelled out of Nigeria or have any friend who has -I have my degree (2,2) -Am good at photography but I don't even have a camera so free that one - No inheritance -No knowledge on how to travel out Please someone should advice on where and how to move out. Thanks
You have only one option. Skill up! Pick up interest in any valuable IT related skill and if you end up mastering it, you will be out of naija in two years.
TheGuyFromHR: Cost of living in Aberdeen should be quite reasonable now. Sadly it was hit by the 2014 oil price wahala so rents were affordable before Covid and should still be that way now. As for jobs, it's a smallish town (the University of Aberdeen is virtually in the city centre and Garthdee, where RGU is, is a short bus ride away from the city centre) and I don't think there would be many available this Covid period just like in other similar-sized locations until things pick up post-lockdown. As its a small town, you can reach everywhere you need to go on foot if you put your mind to it.
You are right about the cost of living being low because of the oil crises. It's not a smallish town at all, it's a large city. The University of Aberdeen is not in the city center, it's on Kings Street, Union street which is often regarded as the city center is around 40 minutes walk to the University of Aberdeen(Used to do that route on foot during Uni). I totally agree about your assertion on the economy, It's heavily dependent on Oil and tourism and both have been badly hit. Let me also add that University of Aberdeen is tough, you will get kicked off your course if you fail once, in RGU you will be given an opportunity to resit but will be kicked off if you fail again.
I'm not even the most religious person but the anti Christian vibe on this site is above board. Today is a day Christians count as special, try to do the decent thing by showing simple respect. Why push a debate like this to the front page?
Please i want to begin my journey in programming but i do not know where to start from. I have no IT background nor IT cert. I'm just a guy with passion to learn and make a living out of it. Please, I would really aporeciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction. I read somewhere that it is a process and there are steps to it, and not starting with the right steps can make you have drawbacks in future.
Please your word of advice is highly welcomed, and would go a long way for me.
