I gave up last yr I was learning C But later this year it is DO or DIE matter. I have finished HTML but sometimes I do forget somethings. One advice is to get a mentor who is ready to teach u well. And Boom u are good to go. PROGRAMMING IS FUN |

ReluctantAdult:I use Google Kotlin Bootcamp for programmers in Kotlin official website. They have a lots of topics and exercise awaiting for you to begin your Programming journey. I use beginnersbook.com a very detailed website for Kotlin beginners I use programiz.com too. They break it down for you to understand with 4 downloaded videos tutorial on Kotlin from YouTube. I watch it then practice along. I think I have been improving knowing the Kotlin basics. It really worth it. It involves hard work and total commitment. You spend hours all day with your Laptop studying and learning how code works before giving you meaningful print out This is my 4th months learning all the Kotlin basics. I have finished learning the basics but i committed myself to go back again, repeating all the topic so many times before jumping to next topic. This has really help me to understand and even read Kotlin code on monitor screen.. Am happy for myself cos I think I find it interesting more than blogging. To me, learning programming language is a challenge to me. 1 Like |

Sheriman: Great resources. Don't dwell too much on the syntax. To develop a computational mind, you have to solve problems. Do as many exercises as possible and learn from them. I use Java to build apps but now moving over to Kotlin as well since it is the new and preferred language for Android. |

BigBashiru: Christianity, Islam, English, even machine language are foreign. How come many of you don't think about the horrors of the Slave Trade or the impoverishment of Africa through IMF? If we all decide that non-Africans don't treat us well, then why are we using their religions, their cars, their computers? The average German does not think of an African as his equal, yet German made cars are popular in Nigeria. Learning Chinese creates opportunities just as learning machine languages. The fact that Africans are dehumanized in Europe or Asia does not mean we should not avail ourselves of opportunities that their languages would create for us. They may be helping Africa with loans and infrastructural development but a lot of them don't see you as an equal. And you are going further to learn their language? You first leaned English and now learning Chinese? If learning a foreign language will provide opportunities for you, why should it matter the type of language you are learning. Very soon, Chinese interpreters will be needed in nearly all the countries of the world. In colonial era, our fathers who could speak the English language made a lot of progress ahead of their kinsmen. The difference between Samuel Ajayi Crowther and some other slaves was that Crowther saw an opportunity in learning the language of the slavemasters. Why cant Africa take over the world? Don't give me the bad leaders BS pls. The reality is that China (and not Africa) is a global superpower. At the moment, learning Chinese is more profitable than learning Igbo or any African language. Maybe Africa will reach that level one day, but for now, China is at the top 2 Likes |

SeriouslySense: The print function is definitely in-built. Kotlin is beautiful though, compared to Java. From type inference to null handling which eliminates the NPE nemesis . Auto handling of getters and setters so you don't write all the boilerplate codes like in Java. Functions are kings here not classes Also, the syntactic sugar. 5 lines of codes in Java might just be a line or two in Kotlin. So verbosity is greatly reduced. Sweetest of all, it is interoperable with Java. You can actually look under to see the Java bytecodes generated for every Kotlin code. Cool stuff 3 Likes 1 Share |

I started learning python with my android phone on pydroid3.I gave up midway because the phone itself is bad,small for typing and the screen calibration is faulty.Imagine typing "Q" but "E" will be the one to be pressed. Now I am learning html and css with a borrowed laptop,I can't take the laptop to school.Once the owner collects it back,I'm doomed! This is by far the worst problem we have as programmers in Nigeria.Followed by erratic power supply. |

It's hard . But as a beginner don't be a jack of all trade.Just focus on a stack and learn algorithms and data structures. I think you should be fine |

Nice read... Most people will say "PROGRAMMING IS HARD", that is just partial truth. Programming just have a steep learning curve. Changing the way you look at problems can be difficult, which is the beginning. Learning how to think logically. But once you understand the basics solidly, you can advance by yourself. It will just be like you climbed the top of a mountain and can now navigate ur way around. It's the climbing that is hard. 1 Like |
