Please my fellow Nairalanders, I need serious help, I need to become professional programmer but I need one on one teaching and I don't mind relocating to any state to achieve this.

I know many will ask me to start online course and learn how to program in different languages but the truth is that most times I don't really understand those online courses and I prefer one on one tutorial. Though I am sure it will not be easy to find a professional programmer who will have time for this but if God touches your heart to help me please do it and I will forever remain faithful.

presently, I am a blogger and by God's grace I am doing a bit well but something pushed me to think about programming. Actually, I am not asking anyone to do this for free but honestly, I don't have much to offer or at least not to compare to the skill I wish to acquire.

I wouldn't like to share everything about my life here but the reason why I decided to become a programmer at all cost is because that's the only option for me, I dropped out of University because of money and became a blogger in 2012, I can read codes and edit them but can't code from scratch.

I am writing this with tears, I actually have brothers leaving abroad who are doing well, buying lands and other properties, they have all it takes to help me but no one cared that is why I need to respond to them positively, I believe that if I become a programmer I will have good opportunity to succeed on my own.

Please as I said earlier, am not asking this for free but if God touches your heart to help me, please do, I don't mind relocating for this

How old are you?

How old are you?

33 Sir (1986)

33 Sir (1986)

Why not do something else? I don't recommend that age for programming; not because your head can't carry it but because you may have to deal with responsibilities. If you start learning programming now, when would you finish so that you can start using the knowledge to make money?

Learning programming is like opening book chapters and to know the book you must read to the end. I'm talking about learning different programming languages. There are a lot of them. Programming also requires sitting in a place for long hours. Can you do that? Are you still under your parents so that they give you cover while you concentrate on sorting codes?

Do you have a great laptop with 4GB least RAM size? I'd recommend programming for a child but not for an adult with lots of responsibilities. Programming is too broad. However, if you focus on Android programming, you can get to the peak of it and start creating apps with Android Studio that you can monetize with Admob and upload to the Playstore. The more apps you can create, the better for you. But if planning to study programming and work for an organization such as Andela, I won't encourage you. You'd have to give at least 4 years into it and you'll need lots of money to buy courses.

age has nothing to do with it.

you can start learning at any age.


and you dont need to move anywhere.

you need internet and working PC.


there are several free online learning forums.


check freecodecamp.com

eh? when the best programmers are mostly old men.

I am emotional right now .

Well, my advice for you is to start learning on your own for a while, after that you can look for someone with experience to take you through some of the problems you will face. I started programming on my own(self taught), it was difficult at first but with dedication, time and passion, it worked.

I will tell you to learn one language at first, master it very well and do most things with it because if you are learning everything together at the same time, you won't be able to grab it at all.

No age limitation in programming, as it depends on your time, passion, start with Python(recommended) as it is easy to learn and the syntax is like English, good to read.

If you need any assistance, you can send me a message

Bro thanks a lot for your input but as I said earlier, I am a blogger and I take care of myself through blogging, though I don't earn much like some popular bloggers but at least between 2015-2017 I was making between N160,000 - 200k plus per month until Google made some changes that pushed my site down. However, am actually doing well in blogging but I don't want to live a life that depends on Google, you eat when Google decides and became hungry when they decide and that's the truth about blogging. Please I still need this help

Thanks for your suggestions, I will try to learn on my own as you suggested and see if I can understand it

Have you tried writing? I mean book publishing.

Ausrichie:

eh? when the best programmers are mostly old men.

You don't understand me. I'm only concern about survival now because programming consumes too much time but if there's a cover, you can do it. Personally, I hustle for myself and I can't think of programming right now even though I like it. Where's the time? Who'll feed me while learning? So that's my point.

But you can do your normal work and learn. Nothing wrong it ain't that hard.

No bro I have not tried that

That's exactly what I intend to do, I will still be blogging to sustain myself while I learn

Don't discourage him with that age talk. He is 33 and can find a way to squeeze in the hours needed. Nobody is too old to learn something new, all it takes is good planning and dedication.

can you teach me blogging?

DrPureheart:

Sure why not but it depends on your location and as it is now am equally looking for someone to help me become a programmer but I will start learning online as suggested

I love your thread ...... I've been thinking about this blogging and programming but I haven't made it official yet, though I go to work but the next day I have it all to myself.


Please can someone teach me about it while I go to work(I have no knowledge of programming)

Ausrichie:

But you can do your normal work and learn. Nothing wrong it ain't that hard.

Yes. That depends on how much time you want to put in. For me, I fear that thing. But @Op, please don't get me wrong, I'm not discouraging you. If your heart pushes you so hard, please go for it.

Everest9:
No bro I have not tried that

Coming from blogging, book publishing shouldn't be hard for you. You can give it a try. It's a great hustle.

yea blogging is a fun for me and I blog full time, I can I actually stay in front of my computer for 24 hours without feeling tired but I don't know about book publishing

I got a message that you have sent message to me but when I check my email I don't see anything

I started learning python last week using YouTube and my Android phone

I can now write few code to execute simple functions, it has not been easy but I believe its achievable.

I also use sololearn. I hope to upgrade to laptop soon.

but can I use python to build mobile app? just asking cos I need something that can start giving me money as soon as possible.

If you want to give a try, send me a PM. Blogging is similar to book publishing. However, make up your mind on what you want (primary) then pursue it. I publish books and I'd keep doing that for a long time because it works for me. You may choose to redefine and stick to blogging, go into programming or join me in publishing. You can even combine book publishing with blogging but follow your heart.

I have sent you a Pm, I wish to know everything about it

Ausrichie:

Cuz of their experience (up to 10 years).

You can use python to build mobile apps using kivy but i think you are better off in the job market using react native or vue native which is a wrapper for react native.

Thanks for this thread bro
