Are you minding me? I'm in numerous groups with a lot of gurus. And they kept jumping jobs less than 400k, I decided to apply not to get the job. Coz I am already under a contract with a company that is training me for 6 months. The contract say I have to work for them for them once I am done. They will pay oooooo. But if I drop out of their teaching or fail to work for them. I have to pay them certain amount of money. Over 1 million or so. Where I wan see that money.

And I don't want to specialize in front end. Back end is what I chose.

ProfAyomi:
## the first company sent a reply, they would do another video session with me. I don't know what it is about. But for now, I wont apply for jobs anymore and focus more on learning. The company training me won't even allow me leave until I have worked for them for 6 months.

ThierryJay:
So this is the Bruno that some fake Man Utd fans are saying is not good enough for the team yet he almost scored 2 sensational goals.

Obviously and rightfully, Ten Hag has way more sense than some Pendu fans here who would rather sacrifice the team's progress for Wasiuuu's ego.

Between Bruno and Ronaldo who is currently undroppable?

esivue007:
Tinubu or Obi
Who carries a Honest structure and value?

Modecaih:
not surprised this is tinubu's state,,if this crowd was in aba or owerri I would be marvelled,,,,Godforbid #Batthing

esivue007:
Honest Nigerians??
What's the meaning of Honesty again biko?
E be like say have forgotten

I laughed!
I believe you know that his video on this thread was released in the yr 2013?
Pressing Neck with 2013 video?

Backpedal:
You silly BATs don't know you are indicting your candidate the more with this kind of campaign

Tinubu reign in Lagos and the aftermath led to a lot of young boys becoming agberos collecting money on the road; and looking up to Mc Oluomo and Koko Zaria and Co as role models

When campaign season starts fully; una go see

Okhuadams:
Who come beat am now wey make cry. Abegy no cry sorry, I don report them to ur mama. Idiot when you were busy enjoying the money you were laughing idiot and you follow Obidients them March, all this cry na bcoz of say no money for bail

wildkat:
Yeah that’s the problem with people like u. U always think anyone who supports Obi is Igbo. E go shock una 2023 sey even your next door neighbor is an Obi supporter. The PO fever is now a national movement.

Moreover it’s not “Says by” but “Said by”. And it’s not “we await till 2023” but “we await 2023”.... Lol. Another cut and join English speaker defending his fellow cut and join speaker. Truly u guys are so daft

StrongAlphMale:
It’s unfortunate that Peter Obi’s emergence which is now a silver lining has come with complications. Tinubu has a presidential ticket, nobody is saying it’s a Yoruba ticket.

” Atiku has a ticket, nobody is saying it’s a Fulani ticket. But Peter Obi got a ticket and everybody is shouting:’It’s Igbo presidency. Some even try to link him with the Biafra agitation.

” Have they tried to associate Tinubu with the Oduduwa self determination agitation? Or Atiku within the Fulani herdsmen menace or the banditary in the North?

Antyislam:
But to be very honest Peter obi is the best among them

wildkat:
Imagine the cut and join English. That’s what u get when u stuff your head with Agbado and cassava milk

UyaiIncomparabl:
A software engineer is the most versatile and future-proof career.

There are several times more software engineering jobs than data engineering and data science combined.

A good software engineer can easily learn data infrastructure patterns and become a data engineer in 4–8 weeks.

A good software engineer can easily learn applied statistics and machine learning and become a data scientist in 8–12 weeks.

A good software engineer can easily lateral within their company and become a product manager in 1–2 weeks.

A good software engineer can easily build a web or mobile app on nights and weekends to bootstrap a startup without any VC funding in a few months.

In this ASUU strike,i have all the time in the world. Currently learning HTML on Sololearn.
Please provide a link to where i can learn the Alx software engineering

It's not a problem. Every junior developer has that stage. The solution is spaced repetition. The neurons in your brain are like kids, the more they are presented with a concept, the more they stick to it.

I believe your next sprint in ALX should be python. My advice, just forget about C(You won't use it in your job). For python, make sure you program daily. Re-implement every data structure taught in C to you guys in Python and start building mini projects with it.

The more you program, the more the syntax stick.

Xedmark:
Normally when running python script the use of "sudo" syntax is particular to python.

I can agree and disagree on this depending on how I chose to go about it.

The whole essence of being on slack is to bond with your peers and meet them for help if you're having any difficulties.

I for one am in a lot of ALX groups which helped me. It's not 90% study. Some of us held google meeting and explained the concepts of what we have learnt previously.

I'm not disputing the fact that you have to study on your own but whenever you are stuck and you meet your peers, they will help you! Unless you feel too shy to ask for help

irynterri:
Go for decagon, Alx is 70% self study and 30% peer study. Alx will only give you materials, they don't really teach.

About two months ago, the curiosity in me to switch careers from what I studied in the University to Tech was awoken after searching for a job for over five years of graduation with nothing tangible to show for it apart from all these demeaning jobs around in Nigeria.

I wouldn't say I know nothing about programming because I borrowed some programming courses in the University back then from the Computer Science department, where python, which is one of the languages being talked about now happens to be one of them. But the truth of the matter is that I only read those courses to pass, and not to understand, let alone apply it to any real life situation.

That's to inform my readers that at least I am not ignorant to programming languages. Note: I said programming languages and not programming.

Maybe I should conclude that the programming courses I did then exposed my knowledge to something called programming languages.

By counting, this year will make it 10 years of doing those programming courses and I have practically forgotten everything I did then.

The only thing I can remember now is that there is something called programming languages which are used in the world of technology to solve problems. But when it comes to how to use it to solve the problem, I really don't have any idea.

Fast forward to the two months I mentioned at the early part of my write-up. After reading threads here on nairaland I could practically tell you that I have finished even threads having more than 125 pages on the programming section.

This has given me a little eye opener on programming and its application and many latest programming languages and the opportunity in it if chosen as a career path.

That being said, I have made the determination to switch from what I read to have a career in tech and to take it full time.

My concern now is that I don't really trust myself in self learning, that is to say I am not sure I will be effective at self learning as so many people here did successfully, as I wouldn't want the boredom of taking too much time to get things right be a discouragement. This is due to our individual difference when it comes to learning. But I am very sure that I can perform brilliantly if I will be training in any training institute.

The challenge now is that I have read about some nairalanders here condemning those training institutes with the claims that they don't train effectively saying they are just after the trainees money.

This is giving me a huge concern, because I have research on some training institutes online with most of them located in Lagos.

Some of them are Decagon and Univercity which are the ones I may finally opt for after seeking advice from you guys at the same time looking at some things from my side too in order to make the final decision.

One of the institutes I mentioned above charges 1m while the other charges close to 3.3m.

The money may not be the problem, but the problem lies in the value of service they render if it is worth paying those amounts for.

Decagon promises to get students jobs on graduation, I wouldn't know how true this is, part of what makes me to create this thread.

In the course of researching, I came across ALX Africa, I applied and the application was successfully, class to begin online by next month.

They also said they help their graduates secure jobs on graduation.
But my challenges are the following

Power/Electricity: No explanation on this for fellow Nigerians

Time: As one has to be able to make 70 hours per week for the classes according to them. Implying that one will have to be online at least 10hours per day for 12 months for classes which I'm not seeing as 90% practicable here in this part of the world.

Ability to self train.

So, please should I forgo the institutes for the ALX Africa which is starting by next month and try to make everything work or I should prioritize the institutes.

Decagon promises to accommodate students, feed students, give students training materials, laptops inclusive and help to secure a job after graduation.

Please elder in this house kindly give your lucid advice

It seriously hasn't been easy.

One thing I wanna explain to all those intending to apply. Please get the materials and prepare ahead.

This message is not to discourage anyone please but to help individuals who intend to finish the program.

A friend of mine told me that last year, out of 24,000 students that applied for his set, only 4000 graduated. Not because they weren't serious enough to continue but some had to drop out probably because they didn't make up to 80% score in the first month. Some because of the workload and projects.

Let me give you a break down using python as an instance. You will be sent materials to read and watch on python with several projects to do for a couple of days. You aren't just getting projects from python alone, and at most you're required to finish reading the materials in a day or two. Then comes to projects.

All emphasis is that you should always prepared five steps ahead. My grade has not been good not because the project is too difficult but because of chance and at times, the checker drives me crazy.

I finished my projects on Git with my working laptop, though I didn't do it on the sandbox, I did it with git bash and linked it to my GitHub only to realize I wasn't scored!! I had to redo it all over again using the sandbox.

From the picture below was how I realized that I wasn't scored that day.

Anonymous6o6:
I just felt like saying this for those that intend to go for the program.

You have to be PREPARED! Emotionally, mentally, and physically.

For those without laptop, don't just give up! I don't laptop and I know there will come a stage where it will be needed but I hope before then I'm able to get a laptop.

Before ALX, I was learning frontend using my phone, I used an app called "SPCK" to build projects. Check it out on playstore.

Alright I will do so later.

You read my mind bro
I have been using W3school
I'm quite familiar with the different data types (int, float, char, double)
- The conditional (if, else, if else)
- The operators (arithmetic, comparison, logical and assignment operators).

I intend to read the C pdf file sent to my email today.
