It'll be a little bit difficult for you to get into backend if you're a complete newbie, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

The first thing you'll need is the desire to learn. From your write-up I see you have that already, so go and learn the basics of HTML and CSS. Don't go too deep, and leave JavaScript since your target is not frontend.
I just finished html and css. I was about going into js before seeing your post. I read somewhere I'll need to know ajax too and it's written in js. Is it a must?

When you're done with that, get the Python Crash Course book by Eric Matthews. It'll teach you everything you need to know about Python. Also learn how to use git and GitHub then start pushing your code, and use leetcode once in a while to practice data structures and algorithms.

After this, go to YouTube and search for Denis Ivy. He has a lot quality Django videos where you'll get a chance to learn Django while building real life projects. When you feel you're comfortable with normal Django, about 50% of your journey is complete.

Backend devs usually build APIs and the normal Django is more suited for a monolithic app, so you'll need to learn Django-rest-framework. It's a library that helps you build rest APIs with Django. Go to their website. They have a very good documtation. You can also check a few YouTube playlists on that.

When you're done, build a to-do API to help you practice CRUD operations. Go a little bit further and add user accounts creation and login to help you practice authentication.

At this point you're almost ready. Go to the tutorial section of the FastApi website and learn that too. It's very self explanatory. When you're done, build that to-do API again with FastAPI.

At this point you're almost ready to be hired. What is left is Docker. All of the places I've worked at use it for containerization. Get a video on YouTube that explains how to use it. When you're done, containerize the two backends you made above.

After this, look for a complex project you can think of. Maybe an ecommerce or social media app. Build the backend, containerize it and deploy on digital ocean or AWS. Here you'll get the chance to learn about nginx, SSL and general server management.

If you can dedicate 3 - 5 hours every single day to this, I expect you should complete that curriculum within 6 to 8 months. Practice on leetcode, set up your LinkedIn profile and start applying for jobs. Make sure your GitHub shows that you're active because that is very important for someone starting out. Push code everyday!

thank you. It seem scary but I'll try my best

It is either all Nigerians have memory problems or we are not anywhere near as intelligent a people as we like to think.

If not, why is any Nigerian still listening to OBj let alone praise his hypocritical utterances?

selective amnesia has always been our problem.. in 10 years time, people condemning Buhari now will sing his praises

Naturally, sex is dirty

Ukraine is a country. They have the right to choose what they eat.

Cuba is a country. They have the right to choose what they eat. Did US accept that?
I'm not supporting Russia because what they are doing is wrong but the west are hypocrites, an unrepentant one.

Johnnyessence:
first learn html, css, JavaScript Before venturing into python, django.

OK. Thank you

sweetjohn:
Going to America to do what exactly? To become terrorist or what. Didn't you see Irag, Russia or Saudi Arabia to go? Why America you dislike somuch?

bro, I don't have your time pls. I'm not responsible for your frustration. You can ask Buhari.

A305:
Azzholes crowd mentality.

Morally, it's indecent to kill other people but regardless, you have to go to war or be besiege by the enemy and then be submissive to the enemy.

NATO has continued to violate the agreement made with Russia/UN in 1990 not to expand in Europe as this will make Russia feel threatened for thier own security. NATO has violated that agreement 14 times since 1990 and now have reached Russia's door-step which is Ukraine.

At the time of that initial agreement; Putin was a spy and intel officer for the now dissolved soviet union and withnessed everything.

Now you telling the man to calm down and let the West take over his territory front-line over some silly NATO alliance and then claim world dominace.

The last straw for Ukraine was when thier President declared he would make Ukraine a nuclear nation again after he joins NATO — and you expect Putin to sit back and watch that happen?

verbal agreement that wasn't documented. That agreement is false from all available indications

Hi guys.

I want to venture into programming (backend Web development using python and django) and I want to learn on my own using online materials and YouTube.

With the research I've done, I'm supposed to learn many skills to become a backend Web developer which includes:
Python programming language
Django framework
Html
Css
Postgresql
Boostrap
Some javascript
Note: I chose these skills as against their counterparts e.g I chose python instead of php, I chose django instead of flask etc.

Now, the issue is I've followed a particular YouTube video from beginning to end which focused on python and django. the html, css and javascript were pre-written and I discovered that I need the skills listed above but I don't know which to learn first and to what extent as I wouldn't want to waste my time learning what is not required to becoming a backend Web developer.

I tried building a project on my own and discovered my knowledge is very rudimentary.

Please I need help from whoever is in this field/niche to guide me. I really need the guidance.

Thank you

Pls who can educate me more on how sanctions work.

angelfallz:
He misinterpreted it.
Also, you saying that is the reason Nigeria is where it is today is wrong.

many wrong things are associated with it if you look at happenings critically.

sweetjohn:
If you don't know this then you are a biggest fool in the world bc even you yourself hate USA and you are a muslim

how can I hate a country I'm planning to relocate to. Cleanse your heart of hatred and you'll be free says the Lord

helinues:

you made me laugh wildly. God bless you. I needed that

cherishmichael:
Yes he do deserve it, but ask yourself, amongst all of those people giving the punishment to him, which one amongst them have not done something bad greater to his own or even the same as he did? But some are hidden.

this your statement erroneously carved from jesus' statement of "he without sin should cast the first stone" is the singular statement that has made the world especially Nigeria a shitty place.

sweetjohn:
All Muslims hate USA but Russia don't even like Muslims either. Stop spewing rubbish. No country in this world has the capacities and capabilities to stand USA in a full scale war. Wait o, what do you take USA for? Your mate or what. Russia can't stand USA one on one in war uptil 5 days. Biden warm him of great consequences, I expected him to be provoked and went ahead to invade Ukrian but he chicken out. Do you know why? Because he can't stand against USA. Stop saying something that have never happened.

all Muslims hate USA. You must be high on mkpumiri

This is really inspiring. Kudos bro.

I'm learning backend development with python and django too. Is it lucrative?

Truth is I'm learning it with the hope of making money from it. I wouldn't want to learn and later discover that it isn't lucrative. Pls I need someone I can connect with on this niche too.

TheExclusive:
Yes. I don't see Chelsea replacing him anytime soon. His quality no dey market.

you don't know Chelsea fans and owner. Let him start losing matches. He will be sacked without delay. No joy. That attitude has brought us many trophies though so ain't complaining

In Northern Nigeria, Almajiri Has a PVC.
Tea Seller Has a PVC.
Cart Pusher Has a PVC.
Fruit Seller Has a PVC.
Kolanut Seller Has a PVC.
Gateman Has a PVC.

Onion & Tomato Sellers have PVC's.
Shoe Shiner Has a PVC.
Sugarcane Seller Has a PVC.
Bus Drivers/Conductors have PVC's.
Motor park Agberos have PVC.
You IN The Southeast, South~south And Southwest, (a student or a Graduate With BSc or MSC) With All Your Education and Exposure Still Don't Have PVC.

The Worst Thing is that You Even try to Justify why you didn't Have one "My Vote Won't Count".

For the sake of those who Paid Your School Fees & Fed You Through school, Please, don't Make All Your Education/Exposure Useless With Statements Like That.

If votes Don't Count, politicians won't bribe/pay People to Vote
Go and Get Your PVC!!!

.
OK. I'll go get mine now.

But won't the next president be worse?

An average northerner is used to suffering and doesn't care who becomes president as long as he's told what to do.

I just tire!!

Oysters:
You will be bombed in the next 5-6 months

no one will leave this world alive.

I'm Yoruba but I'll gladly vote for Amaechi. If Legal, as many times as I can. In fact if he's not on the ballot paper, I don't think I'll vote.

He's a performer. He was the one that coined "change you can see" even before APC started using "change" as their mantra. Wike has tried (I never rated him initially but he's really tried from what I hear) but Amaechi's performance as governor made his looks like childplay.

I remember sometime around 2012 around rumuokoro area when some ikwerre youths were protesting at obio akpor secretariate that Amaechi is a bastard born of Yoruba father. Lol. I know it's ignorance but some Yorubas in ph believed it.

Even though as a politician, they are all corrupt, Amaechi seems to actually care for the masses. There was a time he complained of Buhari not reading newspapers but to only laugh at cartoons when reading them. He said sometime that until youths starts stoning them, things won't change in this country.

Northerners especially Buhari seems to be "cool" with him.

He's young, agile, smart, and detribalised.

He's Igbo South South, has Yoruba name and a chief in the North.

Munzy14:

This reminds me of what my friend studying in USA told me...He said it took him two years to know his next door neighbour...And according to him, it is a normal over there..Nobody has time to be doing mama Ngozi and her yard people gossips/gist.

it has its own disadvantage too. Depression being one. Community living is good

Oysters:
Cute. They can't try it with the other religion, though, cus they know the consequences. Christianity is indeed tolerant.

Players all back to dressing room....

What happened really?

Match has been paused

Abi na my eyes.
Don jazzy looks like the dad and mum. How come?

Candidlady:
iwant to believe the first wife is dead, if nat this na al shades of wrong!

okay what if the first wife is dead, would you stil hang the pastor for the new union?

I wonder where God or whoever you guys worship mandated it on a man to marry only one wife or his age mate. So far they are both of marriageable ages and aren't forced on each other, I don't see any issue here.

Roman religion and doctrines is what Christianity after Christ turned to. Twisting the Bible verses to suit their whims.

In Buhari's mind: this one doesn't worry about basic amenities, that is why he can be doing this things to himself.
Let's make Nigerians suffer more so they won't have to go through this. Lol

TheWolfen:
Nice.... The world will be better with more people like this man

He's trying.
But Nigerians have forgotten this is the same man that gave bribe to a legislator on National TV.
Nigerians generally have national amnesia. I won't be surprised if after 10 years Buhari is being touted as the best Nigerian president ever.

openmine:
There might be a possibility for you to think that way in light of today's match but #LFC may also use this loss as ,motivation to crush Arsenal's somewhat mini revival!

You're 100% right

HRMK:
u mean fgn and osun state are individuals?go back to the so called donations and u will notice that almost all nigerian billionaires made the list!simple politics!but then.where is the money?LOOTED!

I'm from his hometown and I can assure you that he gives to individuals too from what my friends over there tells me.

On donations to government, you might be right.

JubrinElSudan:
But Nigerians need to do better. Some people borrow money from these Apps with the mindset of not paying back, some borrow when they know that they don't have any source to repay the money at the particular time the money will be due for payment. But then there are genuine ones who couldn't pay back at the due date.

my gf told me of her friend who was stopped on the road by police officers, accused him of being a yahoo boy, downloaded like 5 of those apps on his phone and borrowed 200k plus with his phone.

The boy just finished school and was doing photography business. Now, the loan companies have been calling his contacts and blackmailing him. He has tried to pay some money back but still far from finish paying and he's seriously depressed right now.

Those loan companies don't do any due diligence, what they are after is just their interest.
