I started coding with HTML, CSS and Javascript at age 30+ in 2018. now I am 33 years old with two jobs. I do javascript and PHP. Dont limit yourself bro . The demand for devlopers is MAD !
babasolution: I have a friend who is confused on his career path,he is 30year old.He is a graphic designer, he is doing relatively well,with the hype around the tech industry of recent and that they are paid very well.He is thinking of going into tech,precisely web development. What he wants to know now is that would it be a fruitful or fruitless venture,considering his age,also that many going into tech are mostly younger people in their 20s who are even already professionals while he at 30 is just a beginner,he has some knowledge on HTML,CSS. Will it be a waste of time considering the time he will use to learn,he will be older than 30,will there still be opportunities for him at that age? Or should he go for something else?.pls he needs tech pros honest advice.thanks
function checkBasket(obj, searchItem){ let basket = Object.keys(obj); var item =""; basket.forEach((value)=>{ if ((value)===(searchItem)){ item = `${searchItem} is Available` } }) return item; }
checkBasket(amazonBasket,'books') "books is Available"
To hit the market running, well study what your environment needs. there are not too many ruby vacancy out there compared to PHP, nodejs and Django there except u are targeting foreign market.
Jahzrockballer: Thanks. Quiting isn't an option for me. I'd be going the ruby route for the backend and niching in shopify development, any advice?
FincoApps: This is probably one of my longest posts but I believe it should go a bit far in improving the quality of Nigerian Made Apps.
I find it necessary to first of all, acknowledge that this is an unusual article in that this topic is rarely up for discussion in the Nigerian Techsphere. My main purpose of writing this article is to highlight the reasons “Made in Nigeria” apps always look and feel…“Nigerian”! Although it may seem offensive, this is something that should ultimately help Software Developers in Nigeria, create better Apps and shake off the stigma of bad quality.
WHAT IS “THE NIGERIAN FACTOR” What exactly do I mean by “The Nigerian Factor”? The Nigerian factor is that obvious or not too obvious bug or imperfection present in most Apps made in Nigeria. These kinds of bugs immediately make a user know the App is made in Nigeria. The imperfections can be of different types or categories. Most obvious ones are:
Minor User Interface Bugs: These are bugs like weirdly positioned logos or improperly centered views etc… These are minor but obvious imperfections. Unfortunately, they are more common in Nigerian Apps.
Bad User experience: These are not actually bugs. They are just UI behaviors that are either not expected or odd.
Grammatical errors: Grammatical errors, is just what it says – spelling mistakes, improper punctuation (in a Corporate App).
These are minor, but their presence, unfortunately, gives away the nationality of the App. Plain old bugs: These are the normal bugs in almost all apps but much more obvious in Nigerian Apps.
EXAMPLES OF APPS WITH THE NIGERIAN FACTOR Apparently, just listing a couple of bug categories is not enough to fully grasp the concept of the Nigerian factor, so in this part, I will list some popular Nigerian Apps and point out the Nigerian factors I could find in them.
Develop desktop application as well as a web applications.
keeping up to date the user during the development.
I can deliver quality work to the user with a fantastic User Interface using custom controls. also providing the database integration and support for each application.

pidginedtec: Every Saturday, I run a pair programming session, where we create real-world projects. We have just completed the backend for a Store Locator Application (in Nodejs) and about to start the Frontend part (using Reactjs).
I have found that regardless of where you are in your programming career, this approach of learning comes with several benefits: 1. More confidence 2. More efficient. 3. Fewer coding mistakes. 4. Develop team collaboration skills. 5. Write quality code backed with testing.
