Hello guys,

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.

Thank you.

Decagon is a bootcamp who is still accepting applications you might want to check them out

3.1M, that's a terrible advise, did you learn yours in 6 months at decagon. It better not to than learn something you think is hot but really it's not. Run away from debt. Chai money for mini house for learning code u might not profit from.

God will not forgive you for this. You're advising him to get himself into debt because he wants to learn ordinary computer programming?
The best advise is that you try to know the part of computer programming you want to go into. We have areas like game programming, web development, data science, database administration etc.
Once you know the area you want to go into, research about the area and know the technology you'll be using to become a junior developer

God bless you. I was once their student. I dropped out when I got to know that they're not being truthful about their service

ahh boss. i believe he was only trying to help me. and God doesn't work like that

please boss you made a very valid point above(@bolded). I know little about the IT industry in Nigeria. please can you suggest me an area you think i should go into for starters and from there i can expand my knowledge on the others?
right now i intend to learn what is in demand in the Nigerian IT sphere. something that will also enable me pick 1 or 2 small change as i learn my way to mastery, then from there, with my exposure and experience, i can delve into other areas.
