LOL, compared to PhP, it is. I learnt Python before PhP, the difference was clear

I've not written a lot of python but I learnt it after learning PHP and Javascript and it's not so different from these two languages.

Granted, PHP is like the odd one out majorly because it has dollars, semicolon and lesser data structures.

Of course you love python, it's your favorite language but it's not easier than PHP or Javascript.

Don't take this personal but I will advice you spend time in Android learning Fancy UI/UX and Custom Controls for Good Android UI, if you show client that work, chances are you will not find the jobs you are looking for. Go to Youtube and look for Custom UI Android tutorials. All the best
Would you mind to look thru this? Abeg. Though they are my old pet project. Trying to figure out some stuff ne
github.com.ibnahmadbello.number-facts
github.com.ibnahmadbello.Health-Calculator
github.com.ibnahmadbello.MovieGalleriaPart-2

Can this qualify as portfolio?

Tes but in the demo folder do not use gif, it takes too long to download because it shows animation one is 10.3mb and the other in the galleria project is 62mb, just take snapshot of the app of each page. Because unless I build your Android App I won't know what the image looks like and a detailed readme works. I used to have screenshot but I mistakenly deleted my github and restored it and lost alot of images. They help, you don't have a proper readme, remember no one has time to go through code to understand what was built. but good work, you have a lot of projects though , take advantage of aesthetics

Try and rework the contact form with CSS, it's too transparent.

Or just recommend a very good one that has the whole package.

For simplle php stuff like my website and all I use whogohost

For other applications, I prefer to use upCloud, they just give me an empty linux instance and I setup everything and also Digital Ocean too, they are not bad either.

Oga why not switch to data science instead. I know the kind of jobs I have gotten which I couldn't take due to my location and other stuff. I started as a web developer but later switched to data analysis.
can you explain more on this ?. I thought data science jobs was limited to degree holders in maths, statistics or computer science

No I don't build WordPress website, only development of Plugin and anything to extend WordPress. I prefer to use Processwire for building php websites. They support more PHP features than WordPress

Not at all.
But its recommended you have a strong background in Statistics ( not referring to Degree)
However you need to be good in some programming languages to excel. Query language ( mongodb, mysql) others like R, Python, Excel are needed.

Honestly that depends on your job hunting skills, the portfolios you have et al. I got my first WordPress role the week I started learning PHP but I am a ferocious job hunter.

Don't tell anyone the secret about WordPress. My team average over 100M a year just on WordPress alone.
We always go for popular tech e.g AWS, WordPress. Who React help? I only use it for our own SASS.

Also, I plan to recruit an army of Front developers for only Html, CSS & Javascript. We will port the design into WordPress ourselves. Will provide the PSD templates.

I am not looking back. I learn Laravel a bit but the job is limited. I have been doing WordPress for over 10 years now. Keep up the good work.

I will stick to Google meet, but we can prepare topics for next week so we can discuss. What should be the topic ?

Alright. Just fill out the form. Most people already have Twitter app, Twitter space would be much cooler than downloading an extra app.

I think the topic should center around "The Travails of Nigerian Developers".

@nowpresence


Next week is great. Create a thread on it and few hours before the set time so others would join.

Go through the YouTube video.

Twitter users have to fill a form to get approved to create Twitter spaces. It takes upto a week according to what I've watched. cheesy

For now, the meeting would be on Google meet. I just checked the app and it's cool.
