best advert have seen in a while

hello m currently learning Java please can you share some materials with me

If you are earning 3 million per month doing remote job, isn't that enough motivation?

Talking of wishful thinking, there's something called programming by wishful thinking in TDD. So, wishful thinking isn't so bad.


About how we get along, what other choice do we have? It's either we blow via tech or blow via tech.

Coding is challenging (write, debug and run) and being able to sell your skill for the right price is increasingly tougher these days so it's easy to be demotivated.
Mentors have always adviced that it is best practice to have a personal project you would be developing with what you are learning. This will help you stay focused on what languages you need to achieve a set goal. Rather than jumping from learning one language after another.

techstack:
You will still write code to test your code
Interesting

Learning as a software developer is endless

Now cloud technology is the thing now
Containers
Kubernate

You must know almost everything else you will not be relevant

Anything to make legal foreign hard currencies is my ZEAL....moreso I'm an online EARNINGS enabler so I love posts like this.
@OP ill suggest you try and raise prodigies by training people that you can be it aid or in kind.
If you have access to internet and a PC /Phone and you ain't earning @least $300 monthly then it's your undoing.

Proactivity Leads To Productivity!

From perusing information and research online

I'm self-taught, so I started out as number 1. Learnt the languages, moved on to frameworks and was able to put together functional apps with the logic, OOPs,and libraries. Frameworks and Platforms weren't really difficult to learn though. I just started building projects and I was good to go. Sharp sharp

It wasn't long until I realized I was floating. That was when I once had a problem making network calls for some API integrations. It led me into the deep world of networking, systems design, architecture, security etc. Still, another roadblock led me down the path of database management systems. Still another one led me into the world of unit testing and proper debugging.
Na my curiosity carry me enter these places sha

I still dey learn. But at least I know why these concepts are important and the roles that they play in the grand scheme of things.

Oh... I also stepped into the madness that is algorithms and data structures. These ones the MIT videos wen I watch make me reason whether na the same programming wey I know Na dia I know say levels dey inside this mata, forget am

So many things to learn, but for now I focus on learning DSA and systems design when I have the time. Man must make money with the little knowledge for a start. Na where the motivation dey come from

Grandlord:
There are two types of programmers.

1) The ones who learn frameworks just enough to whip up an application. These ones are standing on the shoulders of the actual engineers because they rely on libraries, APIs and frameworks built by the engineers.


2) The actual software engineers who have a deep grasp of the concepts of algorithms, data structures, system design, architecture, design patterns etc. These ones are the programmer's programmer

Any self-taught programmer ambitious and curious enough, can always go from being the former to attaining the level of the later.

A CS graduate is expected to be an engineer already. He can easily learn frameworks if needed.

Just have a roadmap that shows where you're going and follow through with it. You can be the first guy and start earning some bucks but never ever stop there. Go deeper. Tech is fast changing and what's trending today might be outdated tomorrow. But the core fundamentals never change.

Nice attempt ..E for effort.. BUT ITS NOT RESPONSIVE AT ALL ON MOBILR VIEW..GO THROUGH ALL MY PROJECTS ON MY DIFFERNT TOPICS AND SEE WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT .

salvationproject:
I started creating it mid last year during the covid lockdown. The idea was to simplify the task of learning programming. When learning, I could remember the issues I encountered that made learning difficult. So I wanted to break learning down in a simple language and manner.

So far so good, I have been able to compose two tutorials (HTML and JS) and looking forward to composing others though skul is frustrating me but then, rate my website guys.

How can you say mongodb is not used in production? This is a very ignorant and misleading statement. Java /c# is not even in the top 5 most used languages as at current. Javascript/nodejs still tops the list.. Alongsides python, php, golang, rust and ruby on rails.. The only companies that still use java/c# are older enterprise companies with legacy codebases. Even at that some are alr3sdy moving to kotlin or exploring other newer and better technologies. There's nothing java/c# can do now that golang doesn't do better. Go handles concurrency with ease (with Goroutines)
I don't know which linkedin/indeed that you're doing your job search o.

I work for a fintech and they use mongodb and nodejs extensively in production. My last company was a top ecommerce and they used node.js in nearly 70% of their microservices.

I'm surprised you're advising people to learn skills and you failed to mention cloud skills (aws, gcp), containerized architectures like docker and container services like ecs and kubernetes...

Also DSA are very necessary and important to get a job in this very day and time. Every company I've interviewed for (both home and abroad) required me to take coding tests on Codility/hackerrank in their early stages.

You really need to do a lot of research yourself.. Don't say what you don't know.

Zuckerberg had been programming for more than ten years before he even got into Harvard and na Harvard he enter o. Sergey brin dropped out of a PhD in computer science to build google. Google was even a PhD project before they decided to make it a business. Those guys were seniors both in practical and academics and as of then no stack overflow or anything to ask any questions. Pure super coding. JavaScript was just a year old. Most things had to be done in C, C++ and assembly.

I don't think you understand the importance of system design and architecture. It's fine trying to build a social media app as a personal project, but always keep your mind open for what you don't know. There's difference between an app that 100 persons use and what 100,000 people use. You can't get that knowledge on your own.

I've seen people on this platform saying they can build Facebook. I see that as a sign of ignorance because the person clearly doesn't understand the difference between creating an app on localhost for himself and creating for the world to use.



Can you show any

valzey:
There's this trend I've noticed with new developers where

They learn to code, build a few sites and suddenly want to be an entrepreneur. I see that as crazy. You don't have any experience about design systems and architecture and haven't worked on a real job to at least gain a tiny bit of experience so you don't make obvious mistakes.

They build a few sites, I'll admit that some are beautiful and post the links here for us to admire and encourage them. That's ok but what's more important at that level is code reviews, your site may be fine but your code would be poorly written with bad support for maintenance.

They learn about backend, follow a few tutorials though some may do it on their own but suddenly they want to make Facebook. All I can say here is LOL.

They learn to code but do not care about unit testing. The solution is obvious.

They discover optimisation techniques and overuse them. Just as there's premature ejaculation, there's also premature optimisation.

They do a few projects on their laptops and not care about source control. You must learn to use git PERIOD.

They think that getting jobs is easy, no my friends it isn't, sometimes you have to work with a messed up startup that's just as bad as a slave owner just to add years of experience in your resume.

They do not develop their problem solving skills, it's not easy but you can check out hackerrank and try their beginner problems to get acquainted.

They learn their stack superficially, I understand that it's not easy to go deeply in any stack but it's important. There's this interview I had regarding react, they asked questions in a non react way but expect you to respond in a react way. Some answers included Context API, Refs and design patterns.

They just stop at writing code. You should always try to be better than yesterday. Check out the SOLID principles and try to apply them to your projects, it'll make life easier for you especially during interviews and code maintenance.

The summary is know your level, develop a plan to improve and implement the plan. Never ever think you have arrived.

My advice is that try not to do these things.

Senior Devs in the community can contribute and I can update the list.

You really sound very funny or will i call you amateur

My Mentor earns $250,000 - $400,000 on his trading accounts monthly. am talking about his real trading accounts. he has upto 4 trading accounts with each account funding on $100,000 deposit. he doubles his account every month. sometimes, when the market is bad for the month he takes home upto $250,000 that particular month.

Please don't say what you have no clue about. make your research very well. Forex can make you really good income and make you very RICH.

SmartPolician:
Huncle, I have seen forex traders who make good money from it.

Admittedly, I agree with most of your points except forex making your rich.

Better start getting a job is a job on its own which unfortunately so many people don't take serious. They apply to just ten jobs and start crying that there's no jobs lol

Hi People, I am preparing for a live coding interview for turing.com. I want to ask if there are people in this forum who has done this interview in the past so that he/she can share the question structure.

Please help.
