Tunedey0001:
The business of grooming and matching tech talent in Africa began with Andela in 2014. Having undergone a series of changes in its business model before arriving at what it is now, Andela claims to have successfully trained over 1,000 software engineers through programmes like the Andela Learning Community.

The idea, which the African tech community quickly embraced, has seen exceptional minds released into the African tech ecosystem. Oyelade Oladayo, who joined in 2014, is one of such talents; and he went ahead to build a similar platform years later.

Having worked directly with the founders of Andela, led at least two teams, and participated actively on many projects including Google’s, he left after 18 months. For the next couple of years, he worked at other local and international companies as a full-fledged senior developer.

Towards his exit from Atlas, a fintech company, he was in charge of recruiting African developers and managing developers in Nepal, India, France, Germany, and the US.

By June 2019, he pulled together his wealth of experience in software engineering, teaching, and mentorship to build Enyata. His goal was clear — to build a community of devs — but he planned to approach it distinctly.

“We’re more of Engineering as a Service than a software engineer training institute. We plan to train and recruit a team of world-class engineers.”

Before Enyata, Oyelade had mentored young people interested in software engineering at no cost. Alongside his passion for imparting knowledge, he wants everyone to have the opportunity to learn from scratch without any experience.

An Academy with a flexible model
At some point, Oyelade was mentoring up to 25 talents in product development and software engineering. This basically spurred him to address a need. Hence, Enyata.

“On the African scene, I saw a lot of opportunities with startups and enterprises looking to hire engineers to build products for them. From my experience, I knew that wasn’t really the answer because there were a number of them working on more than one project. I knew having an engineering team working on a product would deliver better results.”

After discovering this gap and the constant need to encourage and motivate the team, Oyelade was ready to provide firms with this required team.

Inspired by how football academies had produced the best the sector had seen, Oyelade decided to adopt this concept — train them while they know nothing about software engineering, and develop them to work in teams. However, they need to have some soft skills to speed up their learning process.

“We call it the Academy. Coming to the market, there were three things we intended to achieve: quality of service, character, and speed of execution.”

While finding these three qualities in raw talents might be difficult, the Academy looks out for at least one during the recruitment process. Eventually, the accepted candidates get to make up for whatever they lack during their time in the Academy.

It takes candidates four months from the moment they are selected for remote training to become junior engineers at the startup. The process is simple: applicants are selected for a boot camp after registering on the website.

“The idea of the Academy is that we train you for four months remotely, you will be paid a stipend during this period. After this, you will join the company as a junior developer. You will be groomed in computer programming for six weeks, after which you will be placed on a team following a scrum framework.”

However, people are free to choose whether to become a part of the team after completing the process. It is worthy of note though that the trainees are not required to sign a bond before the program.

The Academy has churned out 21 junior devs from the last three batches.

Because the Academy model is one that’s strategically designed to populate the startup with hand-picked and well-groomed devs, a large percentage of them decide to work with the company. Interestingly, this confidence is based on the startup’s culture of trust.

“It’s part of our recruitment strategy in the sense that if we scale, we will continue with the model and maintain the synergy. I believe that is what makes the system work. Whatever change happens in the future will be an improvement on the current model. By the way, we are under no pressure to train more than we can handle.”

After operating for one year and four months, it has grown to a team of 60 people, with more to join soon.

The idea behind this strategy is to reduce cost while achieving a balance of both junior and senior developers. Assuming the team has to hire software engineers, barring the cost, they might not be able to meet the company’s demand.

Asides this, Oyelade mentioned that it’s easier to achieve an inclusive mix of engineers. At the moment, he claims that 46% of the team are women; something he is looking to balance soon.

“One of the lessons I learnt from Andela is to create a path for women. The next set of Academy intakes will all be women. I have noticed they even do better than men most times.”

While Enyata’s processes might be similar to Andela’s, Oyelade does not hesitate to reiterate the difference.

“We do not match trained engineers with other companies. After agreeing to work with the team, they’re assigned to a project from our partners.”

A sustainable revenue model and plans
Enyata generates revenue by partnering with local and international companies like Ecobank, NIBSS, and Empire, among others, either to take up the engineering role in their company or take on projects for some time.

Asides this, the Enyata team also has plans to build products that will become an offshoot of the company. The founder expects the first set to be completed by Q1 2021.


Enyata team
Apparently, the African dream isn’t limited to Nigeria. Oyelade submitted that the startup envisages expansion into other African countries. For now, Ghana seems to be the first stop, with Namibia and Dakar also on the list.

Oyelade takes pride in a stable team, which has been key to surviving during the pandemic even though they just opened a physical office. Because of the structure of each scrum team, collaboration and communication were done easily.

Oyelade added that there are no intentions to source for external funding, although there’s no ruling out such as it looks to scale in the future.

So far, the business has survived on bootstrapped capital and revenue. That explains why it is deliberate about the number of intakes it accepts for each Academy session. For one, expenses are controlled while it gets just enough talents to join the team.

With the startup currently serving up to 20 partners, and with more to come, it is interesting to note that some of them came through the good relationship that was built during his time at Andela.

An updated PwC CEO insight for 2020 revealed an increased paucity of talent, a condition which is considered high risk for companies between the last quarter of 2019 and now. Oyelade believes that with Enyata’s current model, it is prepared for what’s to come.

Ultimately, Enyata looks to become the preferred community for exceptional engineers in Africa in a very near future.

GAME DEVELOPMENT
In our previous post,we dealt with the extraordinary technology of AR,and now,we wish to discuss the hottest service offered by AR(game development).
Mobile game development is a hot market and there are many opportunities for making money.Gaming applications are the largest contribution to global app revenue.
However, inasmuch as the potentials of this industry is high,it is also important to note that one stands at a risk of loosing ones funds to development of unprofitable games if one fails to properly understand the industry.It is therefore important for us to discuss how to be a successful game owner.Shall we?
Let's begin
Cost of game development
As with every idea you wish to develop,the first consideration that comes to mind is the cost involved in the execution.Though it will be difficult to name an exact price for a game,some factors determines the cost of a game development.1.Choice of OS:The platform, whether,IoS, Android,blackerry,windows,you choose your game to operate on, is usually ,oneof the determinants of the cost of Development.The cost of IoS development is usually higher than the Android development.However, Android development can cost a bit little more if you want your game to be compatible with older versions.Also,the integration of both Android and IOS in your game will usually cost more than a game only developed to run only on an Android or IOS.
2.Development expenses:They salaries of the development teams is the major contributor to the cost of your game.For a very basic,simple game you can require the services of only a developer;but for larger,more complex games,you will require a group of developers to work on your project.The following people make up the team
a.)Game designers:These people bring the ideas of your game into life,develop the game rules and the contents.They help document the levels, gameplay, target users and the environment.Without a planned game designer,it will get really complicated to control and coordinate mobile game development.On small projects,the game designer's duties can be divided among other teams, but with medium and large projects you need team of designers.
b.) Programmers of the game client side:To use popular engines like unity 3D or unreal,you will have to hire an onboard C++ programmer; you are planning shipping your game to several platforms without a specialized engine?,then a programmer who specializes in Android,IoS,or web development will help you.If your game involves interaction between users and centralized data storage,then your developer need to develop a smaller slide of the game as well.
c.) Graphics and animation:For an excellent result, you need to engage specialists for your graphics and animation.
The various graphic types such as 2D,3D, interphase graphics and so on determines your choice of designer.The number of graphics and animation designers along with a virtual effects artist play a role in determining the cost of your project.
d.)Sound design:Of course,all computer, mobile and video games needs sound.You can get ready-made sounds from a sound bank.You can get sounds for free or for a fee;for more ambitious projects the developments of sounds and soundtracks from scratch is preferred.
e.) Testing:When it comes to game apps,the testing process is as important as development.Gamers have little to no tolerance to bugs in the games,hence,the need for your game to be able to run smoothly.Imagine spending your thousands or millions of naira to develop a game,only for the game to fail in playing on the some of the most popular and most used Android or IoS devices,or you set up monetization only to find out that most advanced users could bypass it leaving you with no income,or at a particular stage,you get stuck and cannot finish it,or you find it is impossible to defeat the boss because of wrong color o texture or a misplaced boxcollider.This will bring great user dissatisfaction and you could loose users.Therefore,a QA engineer who could help you with testing is very important.
f.). Software licenses and data needed for development also plays a part in determining the game's development cost.
3.Intelletual property: Just as it is with most other activities you may wish to include the image of a certain popular character,brands, celebrities, you have to purchase the applicable intellectual property.You cannot include say,a character as spider Man,a popular football or an actor without paying some cash.Now that is the privelige and price of Fame�.You much respect it.
Other things that determines the cost of a game development includes,the total time of development,tools used in development, services integration, quantity and quality of graphics,server scaling,number of codes, quality assurance system, assembly systems, platforms.
From this factors and the knowledge from the game development market we can say that the costs of the different categories and genres of games should range as such.
1.Mini games cost around $3,000 to $20,000
2.Simple 2D casual games is $20,000 to $60,000
3.mid-level mobile games is $60,000 to $120,000
4.High level mobile games is $120,000 to $250,000.But remember!!you can get it much cheaper(trust me)
We have already expended much space and time in estimating the cost of a game .Now, let's see how we could make a successful and profitable game.Shall we?
Making a popular game
Here are tips that will help your game become popular and get well downloaded
1.Create an interesting story:A very interesting, compelling storyline will go a long way in helping you.Players need a purpose to finish a game and for that you need a storyline.
You can create a storyline by creating a hero and villian, strengths and weaknesses of the hero and villian,why are the fighting each other,how will the hero acheive victory.
2.Simplicity:Your game should be simple and easy to understand even for kids.Afterall,kids play more of some games.
3.Weight of design of your game shouldn't affect performance.
4.Stand out in your ideas: Having a unique idea in your game helps it develop a peculiarity that could help it go viral.You should also know that the best selling games are midcore or hardcore games.
Midcore games are strategic thinking and intelligence games are they usually include ranking above other users.e.g clash of clans.Hardcore games are games targeted at specific players that have a great interest in certain genres and spend a lot of time playing games with a big learning curves.So if your game is midcore or hardwire,they chances of it selling more is higher.
4.Introduce invite a friend feature.Imagine the number of users who could get when people have the opportunity to get more in-game currencies,points or lifes for inviting a friend.This incentive could help you get more users in your game.
5.Introducing multiplayer and play with friends features:It is no secret that gamers love competing against themselves than playing against a computer.Your game stands more chance of going viral if you could compete against friends on it than if you could not.
6.Draw in users with special events: Looking to improve lagging engagement or attract new users?. Consider a special event, with is a limited time offer of free play, extra coins or unique challenges.In addition to increasing engagement, special events and also increase downloads.
7.Marketing: Stategic and aggressive marketing will go a long way in making your app popular.Also, cross platform social media campaigns is also helpful.
8.Hire the best game developers for you:The ultimate step to a successful game is to outsource a game developer who has the requisite skills to transform your idea into a lucrative.You need an intelligent,patient,cost efficient and good developer to back your initiative.
Monetization stategies for your game
Now,this is our baby,you surely don't want to spend millions of naira developing a game only to make little from it.You want your game to buy you cars, build a house for you, make you financially stable and build a passive income for you.There are many monetization stategies but due to lack of time and space we shall discuss a few.Shall we?
1.Integrate Rewarded adsment.Also :Rewarded ads which give users a small reward such as coins or an extra life in exchange for watching an ad, provides those users with an alternative to IAP payment.Also rewarded ads, increase overall payment.Make the game, level challenging but not impossible.if they watch a video the ad they could skip a level.It would be non-intrusive,simple and effecient way of getting income
2.Incentivize downloads: Allowing users to get coins for downloading and testing apps can bring huge profits.
3.Search:Get a search app installed along with your game-Startapp can help you with that.This is a huge way to increase revenue from downloads.
4.In-game purchases: When a user is stuck in a certain level he could buy some lives or skip the level by using credits.Also virtual goods can be used as an in-game purchase such as decoration for your virtual house or avatar.Good move!he gains,you earn cash.
5.Give users the chance to buy avatars, characters, weapons that could strengthen their profile and give them an advantage over their competitors.Who would want to loose? Nobody.The competition from the users to strengthen their profiles to get bragging rights over their competitors could play into your hand.Its a win win situation for both.Your revenue increases �.We would stop here for now as time limits us to discuss the hundreds of ways to monetize your games/

Well!! cost to hire ASP.net developer is low in india

itsjoseph:
Let's chat on whatsap : 07032023457

Well!! the cost to develop any web & mobile app depends on various factors. Here's a mobile app cost breakdown where you can get the best information.

napollo:
An App creator is a tool that allows you to create mobile applications without having to learn to program. In addition, in general, these types of solutions give you the possibility of carrying out different types of tests to check the performance of your App.
If you have an idea in mind that allows you to automate the way in which a daily activity, industrial, business or educational process is carried out, or if you intend to include improvements to an existing Application , you can do so through some of the applications or sites available on the Internet for this purpose.

Best Web Development Companies in Dubai

How does an App creator work?

An App creator is an Application that behaves like a development environment and gives you the option to design and test different types of mobile applications. In general, these solutions allow you to create apps with a high visual value, with a large presence of images. In some cases they also have a module incorporated to facilitate the development of virtual stores.

In this way, we can say that the Apps that are obtained with an App creator are ideal for companies and businesses that want to promote their products or services , or make known some specific information. Some of these authoring applications are paid. But in most cases, development processes are free; the publication is what has an associated cost.

What is Google App Maker?

Google App Maker is a solution created by this technological giant that makes it easy for you to create mobile Apps. These types of developments are ideal to facilitate the performance of a company's internal processes and the workflows carried out within small initiatives.

The Applications can also be designed to facilitate communication between companies and their employees, streamline telework management and help to keep a tighter control of orders, tasks and projects that are pending or in execution.

Currently, the Google App Maker service is in danger of extinction and from next year it will no longer be possible to use the apps created in this environment. In the next section we will tell you more.

Closing Google App Maker

Google made it clear in the digital field that on January 19 of next year the App Maker applications available on the market will stop working . However, the data associated with this application that is stored in Cloud SQL will remain intact. At the same time, they will continue to shape the policies associated with the accounts that companies or corporate users have in Google Cloud (GPC).

The closure, apparently, is due to the low public acceptance of the platform. In any case, the Mountain View giant already recommends another low code solution with the same characteristics: AppSheet.

The best App creator (Tu-App.net)

Tu-App.net allows you to design Mobile Applications and enjoy functionalities aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the mobile marketing strategy that you have defined for your organization. In this case, the automatic review functionality and the sending of rich push messages stand out. In this development environment you can easily create new applications without having programming knowledge , regardless of the type of business you have, be it a store, a restaurant, a hotel or a gym, among many other options. At the same time, it can be used to create solutions for schools or to manage different types of events.

App Creator app

As its name suggests, App Creator gives you the ability to design and develop mobile applications quickly and easily. This application can be used by anyone who needs to execute an idea, even without having prior knowledge of any programming language. Simply, you must be clear about the functionalities that you want to make available to your clients or followers.

With App Creator you can implement Apps for your company or business based on data from other platforms , such as Github or Facebook. The data supported by the application is data that is in the JSON format. Also, you can create compiled or self-designed content.

AppCreator24

AppCreator24 gives you the possibility to design, free of charge, new Applications for mobile devices with the Android operating system . The development platform has a control panel through which you can include the functionalities and content that your new App will have. Among the most prominent elements are texts, images, audios, videos, chats or forums. Through your own App you will have the opportunity to send valuable content to your clients and potential clients, as well as notifications, alerts, promotions or news. Also, after you finish your creation, you have the option to publish it in the Google Play Store, on your website or corporate blog.

Other options
In the market it is possible to find multiple alternatives and solutions to create Applications for mobile devices. In most cases, the creative process, including functional testing of the Apps, can be done for free , but as we said, the publication of the Application usually has a cost. On the other hand, there are websites that give you the option to create and publish them only if you pay a monthly fee.

Once the platform has been decided, to carry out the development of an App, you must have its preliminary design defined. This favors the creative process, in addition, it contributes to the process being carried out in a shorter time.

Well!! App development costs depend upon what kind of app we want, on-demand apps costs different and other commerce app costs different. and also cost to build news mobile app can range differently.

I want to open an online store (something of Jumia's standard or better) but I want to get an idea about how much creating such a website will cost.

I also want an Android APP of it made and another one compatible with IOS.

GAME DEVELOPMENT
In our previous post,we dealt with the extraordinary technology of AR,and now,we wish to discuss the hottest service offered by AR(game development).
Mobile game development is a hot market and there are many opportunities for making money.Gaming applications are the largest contribution to global app revenue.
However, inasmuch as the potentials of this industry is high,it is also important to note that one stands at a risk of loosing ones funds to development of unprofitable games if one fails to properly understand the industry.It is therefore important for us to discuss how to be a successful game owner.Shall we?
Let's begin
Cost of game development
As with every idea you wish to develop,the first consideration that comes to mind is the cost involved in the execution.Though it will be difficult to name an exact price for a game,some factors determines the cost of a game development.1.Choice of OS:The platform, whether,IoS, Android,blackerry,windows,you choose your game to operate on, is usually ,oneof the determinants of the cost of Development.The cost of IoS development is usually higher than the Android development.However, Android development can cost a bit little more if you want your game to be compatible with older versions.Also,the integration of both Android and IOS in your game will usually cost more than a game only developed to run only on an Android or IOS.
2.Development expenses:They salaries of the development teams is the major contributor to the cost of your game.For a very basic,simple game you can require the services of only a developer;but for larger,more complex games,you will require a group of developers to work on your project.The following people make up the team
a.)Game designers:These people bring the ideas of your game into life,develop the game rules and the contents.They help document the levels, gameplay, target users and the environment.Without a planned game designer,it will get really complicated to control and coordinate mobile game development.On small projects,the game designer's duties can be divided among other teams, but with medium and large projects you need team of designers.
b.) Programmers of the game client side:To use popular engines like unity 3D or unreal,you will have to hire an onboard C++ programmer; you are planning shipping your game to several platforms without a specialized engine?,then a programmer who specializes in Android,IoS,or web development will help you.If your game involves interaction between users and centralized data storage,then your developer need to develop a smaller slide of the game as well.
c.) Graphics and animation:For an excellent result, you need to engage specialists for your graphics and animation.
The various graphic types such as 2D,3D, interphase graphics and so on determines your choice of designer.The number of graphics and animation designers along with a virtual effects artist play a role in determining the cost of your project.
d.)Sound design:Of course,all computer, mobile and video games needs sound.You can get ready-made sounds from a sound bank.You can get sounds for free or for a fee;for more ambitious projects the developments of sounds and soundtracks from scratch is preferred.
e.) Testing:When it comes to game apps,the testing process is as important as development.Gamers have little to no tolerance to bugs in the games,hence,the need for your game to be able to run smoothly.Imagine spending your thousands or millions of naira to develop a game,only for the game to fail in playing on the some of the most popular and most used Android or IoS devices,or you set up monetization only to find out that most advanced users could bypass it leaving you with no income,or at a particular stage,you get stuck and cannot finish it,or you find it is impossible to defeat the boss because of wrong color o texture or a misplaced boxcollider.This will bring great user dissatisfaction and you could loose users.Therefore,a QA engineer who could help you with testing is very important.
f.). Software licenses and data needed for development also plays a part in determining the game's development cost.
3.Intelletual property: Just as it is with most other activities you may wish to include the image of a certain popular character,brands, celebrities, you have to purchase the applicable intellectual property.You cannot include say,a character as spider Man,a popular football or an actor without paying some cash.Now that is the privelige and price of Fame�.You much respect it.
Other things that determines the cost of a game development includes,the total time of development,tools used in development, services integration, quantity and quality of graphics,server scaling,number of codes, quality assurance system, assembly systems, platforms.
From this factors and the knowledge from the game development market we can say that the costs of the different categories and genres of games should range as such.
1.Mini games cost around $3,000 to $20,000
2.Simple 2D casual games is $20,000 to $60,000
3.mid-level mobile games is $60,000 to $120,000
4.High level mobile games is $120,000 to $250,000.But remember!!you can get it much cheaper(trust me)
We have already expended much space and time in estimating the cost of a game .Now, let's see how we could make a successful and profitable game.Shall we?
Making a popular game
Here are tips that will help your game become popular and get well downloaded
1.Create an interesting story:A very interesting, compelling storyline will go a long way in helping you.Players need a purpose to finish a game and for that you need a storyline.
You can create a storyline by creating a hero and villian, strengths and weaknesses of the hero and villian,why are the fighting each other,how will the hero acheive victory.
2.Simplicity:Your game should be simple and easy to understand even for kids.Afterall,kids play more of some games.
3.Weight of design of your game shouldn't affect performance.
4.Stand out in your ideas: Having a unique idea in your game helps it develop a peculiarity that could help it go viral.You should also know that the best selling games are midcore or hardcore games.
Midcore games are strategic thinking and intelligence games are they usually include ranking above other users.e.g clash of clans.Hardcore games are games targeted at specific players that have a great interest in certain genres and spend a lot of time playing games with a big learning curves.So if your game is midcore or hardwire,they chances of it selling more is higher.
4.Introduce invite a friend feature.Imagine the number of users who could get when people have the opportunity to get more in-game currencies,points or lifes for inviting a friend.This incentive could help you get more users in your game.
5.Introducing multiplayer and play with friends features:It is no secret that gamers love competing against themselves than playing against a computer.Your game stands more chance of going viral if you could compete against friends on it than if you could not.
6.Draw in users with special events: Looking to improve lagging engagement or attract new users?. Consider a special event, with is a limited time offer of free play, extra coins or unique challenges.In addition to increasing engagement, special events and also increase downloads.
7.Marketing: Stategic and aggressive marketing will go a long way in making your app popular.Also, cross platform social media campaigns is also helpful.
8.Hire the best game developers for you:The ultimate step to a successful game is to outsource a game developer who has the requisite skills to transform your idea into a lucrative.You need an intelligent,patient,cost efficient and good developer to back your initiative.
Monetization stategies for your game
Now,this is our baby,you surely don't want to spend millions of naira developing a game only to make little from it.You want your game to buy you cars, build a house for you, make you financially stable and build a passive income for you.There are many monetization stategies but due to lack of time and space we shall discuss a few.Shall we?
1.Integrate Rewarded adsment.Also :Rewarded ads which give users a small reward such as coins or an extra life in exchange for watching an ad, provides those users with an alternative to IAP payment.Also rewarded ads, increase overall payment.Make the game, level challenging but not impossible.if they watch a video the ad they could skip a level.It would be non-intrusive,simple and effecient way of getting income
2.Incentivize downloads: Allowing users to get coins for downloading and testing apps can bring huge profits.
3.Search:Get a search app installed along with your game-Startapp can help you with that.This is a huge way to increase revenue from downloads.
4.In-game purchases: When a user is stuck in a certain level he could buy some lives or skip the level by using credits.Also virtual goods can be used as an in-game purchase such as decoration for your virtual house or avatar.Good move!he gains,you earn cash.
5.Give users the chance to buy avatars, characters, weapons that could strengthen their profile and give them an advantage over their competitors.Who would want to loose? Nobody.The competition from the users to strengthen their profiles to get bragging rights over their competitors could play into your hand.Its a win win situation for both.Your revenue increases �.We would stop here for now as time limits us to discuss the hundreds of ways to monetize your games/

Why would you like a guide for hiring a web developer? Why would you need to get a web developer anyway?

Can [url]Helpsquare.net[/url] solve your problem?

It’s true; in the past few years, you used to require to either be an online developer aka web developer yourself or get a web developer if you wished a proper professional website. However, nowadays, things are another way around.

Content management systems, aka CMSs Such as Joomla, Drupal, and Wordpress have enabled many folks to make websites themselves.

Moreover, builders like Wix allow you an easy drag and drop to produce a masterpiece without having much technical info.

However, there are still two critical reasons that urge you to hire proper and experienced web developers.

1. It would save time:
To run your project smart way and without much delay, you should consider hiring web developers (if you are not sure where to start you can get a quote from these experience developers here (link).

2. Technical Info:
The development includes a lot of technical details, so having some experience around can help you out big time.

Web Developer Hiring Guide – process Your Project
For web site changes, most typically the tasks come back from 2 completely different areas:

Design —
It can be something from redesigning your emblem or header image to overhauling the complete page layout or adding style effects.

Functionality/coding —
For instance, adding a handcart, custom image slider or creating changes to your website’s management panel.
Depending on that space, your project focuses on, you would like to hire people who can handle those areas that you need improvement in.

Here’s the foremost necessary part:
Be clear regarding what you would like and write it down instantaneously.
It will make sure:

Eliminating irrelevant applicants for this task—
If the duty description is evident, you'll be able to remove already those that don't seem to be qualified. If you retain it imprecise and broad, tons a lot of candidates can apply to your posting as the opposition if you give details.

Save time upfront —
Clear expectations mean, your net developer will time only on the procedures that are necessary and part of the project. Development without having a clear roadmap is like diving into deep sea because there is so much to cover. Thus, having a clear roadmap can save you time, money, and save the energy of your hired team.


Receive better estimates —
You can estimate better how much time, money, and workers you need to handle this project.

Achieve clarity for yourself —
Writing things out is additionally a decent exercise for yourself. It helps you actually suppose through what you're making an attempt to accomplish and makes your ideas less hazy. That’s a vital step towards achieving them.

What reasonably Developer Do I Need?
Now that you just are clear on the type of site type you are looking for or the changes you would like to see in your existing site, it’s time to consider what reasonably net developer you would like to appoint for this project. The term “web developer” (it is a broader term) in point of fact covers completely different skills and job descriptions.

Developer vs. Designer
First of all, a developer and designer are two different job descriptions. A designer could be a one who comes up with the design of an internet site and creates assets like pictures, icons, etc. Their experience is Photoshop and alternative graphic style programs.
A graphic designer can just improve the UI of your site instead of designing your website in a true sense. Remember, they prepare illustrations or designs, but you need more than just a few fantastic illustrations.
Nowadays, a lot of and more designers can also do the implementations. Those are typically mentioned as net designers, and their experience includes markup languages like hypertext markup language, CSS and more and more JavaScript.
On the other hand, a developer could be a one who writes code. That means, they will get into your website and edit files to change or create a complete site from scratch. They conjointly work with code editors and alternative development-related tools.

Front-end vs. Back-end Developers
Developers even have subgroups. The foremost important are front-end and back-end development.

If you are not sure, the front-end is that the part of your website that site traffic can see on their browser/screens via desktop/tablet/mobile. The back-end is everything behind that. It’s each place wherever you manage your web site further- coding and all the language that the machines can understand.

Front-end developers and net designers are typically similar. They use similar languages and each watch out of the design and also the feel of your web site. Front-end developers may signify the one who implements the planning. There’s tons of overlap in these areas. In a few instances, you cannot say that it is just the role of either one.

Back-end developers are more about how your website works. They modify the practicality and are involved with web site speed and alternative technical problems. Their ability stack includes PHP (especially once you are operating with WordPress), Java, Ruby on Rails, Python and alternative programming languages.

Full-stack Developer
Front-end and back-end developers are specialists. It implies that they're typically quite smart within their own domain. However, it does not mean that they can perform either role in much depth, but to a large extent, they are well versed in both categories.

You can also contact Web developers via this site link.

While full-stack developers are often costlier, they need less coordination. Consequently, it will speed up the method and prevent cash.

Freelance vs. regular
Once you are sure about the other details, it is time to decide freelancers or rent someone full time. This relies on the small print of your project.

If you merely need work (for the time being), a freelancer will be usually adequate. You agree on the timeframe, value, and delivery, they produce the website, and then you take over. Moreover, you can hire them whenever you need further tweaks. This is a cost-effective option.

However,

If you would like somebody to watch out of your website perpetually, you may be more happy hiring a regular developer. This is smart, for instance, if you're building a fancy news website that desires tons of active work, changes typically and includes a heap of various content. Permanent may mean for a restricted timeframe or “project-based” as is that the official cant of late.

Are your concepts clear by now what you should be looking in your developer?

Great Now let's about where to get them

It is one of the high-level programming languages is used in a web application, enterprise application, and standalone applications. The java has some kind of rules; these rules are known as its “syntax”. Once a program has been written, the high-level instructions are translated into machine codes by JVM that computers can understand and execute.

segun2442:
Having sleepless night thinking about unemployment in Nigeria, having a hard time searching for jobs in Nigeria? There are sure plenty jobs out there that you can take opportunity of to keep yourself really busy, engaging and one that you can possibly made a career out of. From full term jobs to remote jobs or part-time jobs, there is a beehive of opportunities in Nigeria that is sitting there just waiting for you to grab and take leverage of. The good thing with some of this jobs is that you necessarily do not need to go to the university to learn them, do not get me wrong university education is important and you should go school, but then the point is that some of this jobs are jobs that you can easily learn outside the four walls of the university, although there are some university that offers the course that will make you qualified to do these jobs, however there are other professional courses that you can do to have a good grasp of these jobs making you a certified PRO.

Numerous among these jobs is software engineer, yes there are many myths that surrounds becoming a software engineer, some call them nerd or geeks because of their perchance for the horned rimmed iron glasses and their unending romance with the computer and other IT gadgets. It is a common jokes on the social media backed up with several memes that ladies should never date IT guys because they never leave their laptops. Funny right

While jobs in Nigeria might be hard to secure, as a student, graduate … it is a job that you can adopt and learn during the holidays probably as a hobby , the internet, especially platforms like the YouTube gives  tons of content which explains with illustrations on how you can become a software engineer.

Earlier on I told you that there are many myths surrounding the word or job software engineer that is misconceptions that are ABSOLUTELY FALSE about the job, but right before we dig into that blaring on all cylinders; let us take a cheeky right turn to explain what or who a software engineer is. Maybe we can start re-writing the misconceptions and house wives tales that soft -ware engineers that software engineers are not synonymous to yahoo-yahoo or hackers.

 

 

 

Software Engineers

Software engineering is a process of analyzing user requirement and then designing, building, and testing software application which will satisfy those requirements. Now I doubt if you understand this definition except you are internet or IT savvy, probably a computer science student, so let us try defining this in another way which might actually be better.

Using your sense of imagination, what comes to your head when you think about Software Engineer?

A super-genius type who creates thing out of the thin air like a magician by just sitting and pressing a bunch of keys of the keyboard, like Bill Gates, Alan Turing? Or someone in a dark room with his horned rimmed glasses, a cup of coffee with soft weird music typing furiously like a rabbit working his way through a sack of carrots!

Maybe you envision a corporate-style engineer- with a really big headphones and going to scrum meetings in an office or a freelance/remote “digital nomad “engineer who codes from a café on the beach wearing a floral patterned beach top and shorts with a dark sunshades to rock.

So to a more simpler definition, a software  engineer is someone who uses computer principles to develop software solutions that will satisfy the wants and needs of businesses and consumers. Software engineers create many types of solutions such as desktop and web applications, mobile apps, games, yes mobile games, that FIFA 2020 PC games that you so like playing was created by a software engineer, they also create robots, operating systems, network system among many other applications and software.

However there is a big difference between software developer and software developer, the two are often used interchangeably by many people, I bet you probably do not know that. Cheers!!! Here is your chance to know.

 

 

 

Software Engineer and Software Developer

A software engineer is someone who applies computer science and engineering concept to create software solutions. A software engineer understands why the code works, and the best, most efficient way to write it.

On the other hand, a software developer is the creative driving force behind making the solution come to life.

What does a software engineer do- Responsibilities

Software engineers support the product delivery process to take a project from its goal and requirements to the final level product. Their responsibilities are listed below

Design, implement, test and maintain logic component
Design and build systems with automated instrumentation and monitoring
Consistently improve maintainability and stability of the code base.
Collaborate with product and business operations teams to translate business requirement and build highly robust and scalable products.
He or she should be a good programmer and should be well-versed in data structures and algorithms.
Should be fluent in more than one programming language.
Should be familiar with various design approaches.
Responsible for defining the feasibility of software operations through problem definition, evaluation, analysis, and solution development.
Documenting and demonstrating solutions by developing flowcharts, diagrams, documentation, diagrams, layouts, code comments, etc.
Developing solutions by following software development standards.
Improves operations by completing systems analysis work and make a recommendation for inefficient procedures and policies.
Obtaining and licensing software after gaining relevant data from vendors.
Testing and approving products
Providing relevant data through the collection, analysis, and summarizing of service and development issues




Common Misconceptions about Software engineers.
Software Engineers is for special people- this is absolutely not true, software engineers, developers, programmers or whatever you choose to call them are not geniuses nor do they possess some extra-ordinary skills to become one. Like every other member of the society, anyone can become a software engineer. All you need is the interest and commitment. However we cannot deny the fact that the learning process of each child is relative which implies that we have fast learners as well as slow ones. However this does not imply that the job is for only some special set of people.
Learning to Software Engineering is like learning Brain Surgery- many people think that learning how to code or master software engineering is as hard and tough like learning how to conduct a brain surgery operation. Chill there is nothing to worry about or fret over. It is no rocket science. Learning software engineering is not as hard as most people think or paint it to be. However to code means to talk to a computer and there are specific languages written to this effect. Special language such as PHP, JavaScript, Ruby etc. as a software engineer, your job is to talk to a computer and give it certain task to perform as instructed by him. A typical example is that of building a website. To build a website, the computer requires the software engineer to meticulously write and list out a list of step by step instructions
I need to be a math geek to learn Software Developing- to be a full time software engineer; you do not have to be gifted in mathematics. You do not need to learn advance mathematics or statistics or anything related, however, you need to know the basic algebra and practice a strong problem solving skills. Other than these two prerequisites there are no other ones.
Knowing the best programming language will accelerate my journey to becoming a software engineer- this is another misconception, you need no best language to learn how to be a good software engineer. The truth is that the requirement of a project will determine the best programming language to use. Adding to this there are times when you will have to use multiple language to complete a project. This is because many languages work together and not against each other. Each language has an intended purpose, for example,, JavaScript is historically a front-end language intended for UI development. By implication you should understand that knowing the best programming language is not your best bet to knowing how to become a software engineer `or becoming a software engineer.
Software Engineering is for young people- this is absolutely untrue as anybody can become a software engineer. Either you are young or old, male or female; you can become a certified software engineer. This means that you are never too late to start a career in software engineering.
Here are some best practices for software engineers:
Software engineers should act in such a way that it is beneficial to the client as well as the employer.
Ensure software products and related modifications which should meet the highest professional standards.
Need to maintain integrity and independence in their professional approach.
Promote an ethical approach for software development and maintenance.
Software engineers shall be supportive of their colleagues
Essential Technical Skills for Software Engineers

There are a couple of technical skills you’ll need to know in order to become a software engineer. These software engineering skills include programming languages, development processes, and other technical concepts.

Java, Python, C, Ruby. In order to become a software engineer, you’ll need to know at least one programming language used in software development. The exact language(s) you need to know will depend on the role for which you are applying, but it’s helpful to know Java, Python, C, or Ruby. If you’re looking to develop software for Apple products, you may want to know Swift or Objective-C
Software Testing and Debugging. After you have written code, you’ll need to test it and make sure it functions as intended. You’ll need to know how to write tests to ensure your code is functional. You’ll also need to know how to find and fix bugs in your code - a key part of any job in coding.
Object-Oriented Design. Object-oriented design has become increasingly popular over the last few years, a method of design that involves planning a system of interacting objects to solve a software problem. You should have an awareness of how object-oriented design works, and an understanding of the core concepts of this development technique: abstraction; inheritance; and encapsulation.
Data Structures and Algorithms. You should have a strong understanding of basic algorithms such as different methods of sorting and searching through data sets. You should also understand different formats of storing data, and how applications process this data.
Web Services and APIs. As a software engineer, you may be building tools which interact with web-based services, tools, and databases. As a result, you’ll need to know the basics of working with web technologies, and using APIs to retrieve and amend data.


Essential Soft Skills for Software Engineers

Software engineers need more than just technical skills to be successful - you’ll need a set of “soft” skills as well. The top soft skills you can expect to use on the job include:

Teamwork. You’re going to have to work as part of a team as a software engineer. You should be able to work effectively with others, be willing to support others when they are struggling, and know how to respond to collaborative environments.
Attention to Detail. Software engineers need to pay attention to detail. After all, one misplaced character could prevent a program from running, or from operating correctly. You should be able to pay attention to every detail, and think about the impact of each change you make on the broader program.
Problem Solving. To succeed in any role in programming, you have to be good at solving problems. You should be able to break down problems into smaller components, and think critically to come up with an efficient solution to that problem. Indeed, software engineering is all about solving problems through code.
Software Engineering Certifications

An additional step that will help you stand out in the job interview process is certifications. Certifications are like exams that let employers know you meet a certain skill or knowledge requirement for a particular technology.

Here are some of the most useful certifications for software engineers:
Amazon AWS Certification
Microsoft MCSD
Oracle Certified Associate
CIW Web Foundations Associate
Rather than try to collect as many as possible, focus on certifications that will support the technologies you plan to use most in your career
How to become a Software Engineer
Be intentional about what you want

Starting a new career is not easy. However, when you have a final destination in mind, it helps when you find and deal with a hurdle in your road. You should have a clear goal like:

I want to build my career as a software engineer

I want to work as a software engineer at an established IT company.

I want to work as a team member and get paid well for it,

Get An Education

Completing a formal education is the first step toward becoming a software engineer. Prospective students can select from both traditional and nontraditional training programs to gain the education necessary to pursue entry-level positions.







Learn Programming Languages
