Anyone can be a programmer. You do not need engineering degree. There are countless resources on the internet that can help you learn.

It can take years to master the art though.

sarutobi:
Server Side?

Hmm. Your question is too broad. Which type of server sides do you want to write?

Forget people telling you TIOBE index, this index, that index. Those have been changing. I have been programming for 2 decades now and i remember when PERL was the SHIT back then. Where is it today?

Do you want to create CRUD apps? like social networks, blogs, cms etc. PHP is KING in this area. Forget the rest. Many people will tell you python, java bla bla. Let me tell you this, the speed PHP will grant you when writing this sorts of programs will blow your mind. Its like PHP was made for web dev. Too many frameworks Codeigniter, Laravel, Yii, Zend. Libraries nko? Mehn....




Python: this is what the cool kids use nowadays (I am not a fan), but it is popular and used extensively at Google. You need Python, when you have started hitting the upper limits of PHP. Where you need complex data structures. I personally use Python for shell scripting and long running processes. Also PHP sucks with threads so Python.... The mistake people make is that they try to use python for what PHP can do. Learn the difference.


Java aka "Mr enterprise". Well java is Huge. It is robust, verbose (annoying), and well documented. I will advise that you dont start your programming life with java. Start with PHP or Pyhton. There are very few things you cannot build with java. The JVM (the software that runs java) is probably the most complex app on earth. What more? Java is Fast. It blows PHP and Python out of the water. Threads, Generics it has almost everything you need for the server side. I am a fan BUT java is heavy, bulky.

Go: Goroutines.

Javascript (Nodejs): who ever though that javascript should now be used at the server side is nuts. I am not saying that it is not being used today even in production by giant companies. But nodejs is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Javascript is good for some people, to me it sucks as a language and because of the lack of tools for profiling, debugging etc it is a pain to work with. Javascipt is single threaded, but it uses some event something something like that lolx Just use Go.

There are other languages like ruby, haskell, erlang. Some of these are really specialized languages.

You can learn all of them. It makes you a better programmer as all these languages have different approach to solving problems and makes you see the computer from a different angle.


If you have any specific questions i am happy to help.

Let Governor Fayemi credit the bank accounts of NANS Executive members with immediate effect and you'll NEVER again hear a word about this episode!

Foolish students who could not write an objective report. Go to Ijebuland, visit the Grave of Segun Okeowo for tutoring about how to work around this kind of episode; obviously, his brain is worth much more than your collective brains, even in DEATH.

Tolexander:
The article talks about the military formation of 2 zones relative to the other four zones.

Agreed, common sense should have made the OP realized that he needs giving the details of all the military formations in all the 6 zones we have, give the composition of all the military formations in all of them and the origin of the key men manning them. Like he has done to the south south and south east.
Only a bias mind does that during comparison.

That could have been the modus operandi of the Nigerian Military. That is, not posting an indigene of a region to man the key military formations of ones region. Who knows?
They may be in other geopolitical zones en mass, manning their military formations.

If the south east and south south are really marginalized, how shall we know from this limited available information.

From an honest mind, let the OP give the accounts of all the military formations in the 6 geopolitical zones and the key men manning them for us to look into them and debate on them.

Thanks

Is it just me or does Nairaland website look very different right now?? It's as if it's missing some lines. I'm using google chrome to browse.

A pharm can only dispense drug here unless u have a written prescription. All other drugs that can be bought over the counter can be sold by anybody.
What do Nigerian pharmacists do?
They are Dr, they are pharmacist, they are nurse, they even do d and c, they are medical lab specialists, name them
I hit a nerve.
In fact they are everywhere.

Most of the death we witness in Nigeria are when pharmacists decide to play the role of Dr etc.
I am not a novice in the field so shut up.

Aside paracetamol and orange vitamin c, what else can u produce in school lab?
The active ingredients for the so called paracetamol is imported. What can a Nigerian pharmacist do?
All the drugs in Nigerian market are imported. That's how pathetic u guys are.
The only thing they are good at is liaising with drug importers so they will use their certificates to import drugs for them. Pay them as agreed.
Let me not open your nyash.
The most useless profession in Nigeria.os pharmacy.


The only hospital I have seen where pharmacists do their work is shell hospital and guess what?
It operates on international standard.

Richdad50:


Islam is to date one the thirstiest diety in the history of mankind. Every diety known to man has always sought for blood as an appeasement. From the traditional gods who seek for the blood of chickens and goats to God whose thirst was quenched once and for all by the blood of his only Son, Jesus. However, the diety of Allah know to Islam cannot be satisfied regardless.

The world would have been a better place only if Mohammed had not gone inside the caves because it was in there he received the tenants of Islam. All religion except Islam can cohabit with eachother and manage differences. From Buddhism, Hinduism, traditions etc can co exist. Only Islam wrestles with all and itself.

You believe it's a fallacy? I actually have no time for argument. Have u wondered why jamb, rather than increasing average cut-off keeps reducing it, even to 150?? Is that a way to make progress in a nation?

Sunnycliff:
Stop decieving yourself. Wake up from that illusion. For with the crop of leaders we have, starting from the lifeless one in Asorock, there's no hope for a better country. Be truthful to yourself.

How can one with 250 be denied admission because he's a southerner while one with 165 is given admission because he's a northerner?

It's a lie, because a broke person is always frustrated, and a frustrated person is always on the offensive. He or she is easily offended, that's why majority of people in Nigeria are angry.
