While some people go into programming for the love of it, most go into it as a hustle, I belong to the later group.

We all know how difficult it is to move from "hello word" to earning real cash from programming. So let us share our experiences on how we made our first cash from programming.

I will start with mine:

I've been learning web development for sometime now though it has been difficult combining it with academics, but its been fun though. I am almost through with frontend though I am stuck at react due to lack of time.

So our lecturer taking us on a software development course divided us into groups and mandated each group to develop different softwares within one week using java or php.

I proposed javascript but he insisted that javascript is not a programming language which got me confused. I opted for php since it was a language i intend learning after react, I downloaded php source codes and modified them to my taste since I know it is not possible to learn a new language in one week.

Most groups were struggling with their projects and soon word got out that I could do it. My phone rang like a customer care rep, I charged 1k per software and all I had to do was get source codes and modify. It was not easy cos I had to get familiar with php syntax.

I didnt sleep for two days cos I needed the money badly, my girlfriend complained that I am just doing 1k work and no longer giving her any time and wonders what will happen if I get a 100k job.

I ended up working for 12 groups, and together with the much needed cash came popularity and they started seeing me as a computer geek...lol.

Why did ur lecturer said that JavaScript is not a programming language? Because from the little I know about programming, JavaScript is one of the programming language which can be used for both front end and back end .

That's the problem with most Nigerian University lecturers, they feel the opinion of students is not so important.
But kudos to you for trusting in Google.
You used your peers ignorance to cash out.
