chinasaekpere:
yes, and a portfolio

Please what advice can you give me.

I haven't gotten a portfolio, what and what actually makes a portfolio?

Secondly, since one hasn't gotten any job on coding before, what should be the basis of the CV.

Thanks for your response.

The government is not in control of the dollar.
Can't you see the spike in naira to dollars rate, and the government measures to control it

Who is in control of the dollar?

chinasaekpere:
next is learning a framework, usually react for Javascript or Angular for typescript.

Please did it require a CV to get the Job?

Daalu nwanne.

Let me keep pushing.

chinasaekpere:
I was disciplined because I knew that I had no other option

Nice one

But based on your learning pattern, after HTML, CSS, JavaScript, what was the next thing learnt after the JavaScript accordingly

To be a front end developer.

chinasaekpere:
meta frontend coursera course.

Although, you will still need some other resource but this will teach all the basics.
You can actually learn from any resources if you are determined. And in tech, you can never stop leering. No one is perfect here, if you want to stop reading then tech is not for you

I'm actually done with HTML, CSS and JavaScript basics.

I'm actually deep into Java script for now, using freeCodeCamp.

How did you manage to be disciplined, what was your motivation?

seunmsg:
How exactly should the country be restructured? What’s the new structure you guys are proposing?

I think it should be resource control.

I graduated from the University 12 years ago. Since then I have been jumping from one job to another with no progress in sight. I discovered that I have been stagnant for Years, so I decided to learn a skill.

I started by learning how to make footwear, I learnt that for a year but I later discovered that it's not what I want to do, although I can make every type of footwear even boots.
Last year I took an online course in frontend web development, for 6 months I studied for an average of more than10 hours daily learning from HTML and now React.js. I learnt figma, scss, CSS, Version control, jquery, bootstrap, Chakra UI and react.js, it was a tough one because I had to forfeit other means of making money. I got hungry so many times, I used my last card to buy data so I can keep studying and doing my projects.

Earlier this month, I finished by portfolio project, I had already worked on 4 projects using react, Jquery, Chakra UI and bootstrap. I designed coupled of web pages using figma.

Earlier this month, my girlfriend who's a data analyst sent me a link for a front-end developer role. In my mind, I didn't feel like I was ripe enough so I didn't apply. 2 days later, I decided to give it a try and so I applied. I was called to come for interview this Monday.

On getting there, the company was working on this revenue web app project they are doing to for a particular state government. I was asked to develop the UI of one of the pages using react, CSS and Tailwind. I have heard of Tailwind before but I have never used it.
I told the interviewer that I have never used tailwind and that I'm proficient using bootstrap. He replied that I should go through tailwind documentation and then use it to style the page on top of react.

So I started reading the documentation, I discovered that it's syntax is somehow similar to Chakra UI which I have used once in my project, the are the same concept of class utility. So I decided to start coding, getting snippets from the documentation and then applying my Chakra UI knowledge to work around it.

To cut the long story short, I coded from 9am in the morning and delivered the page by 5pm.

I was sent an appointment letter today. So my tech journey officially started. It's a junior role though but I'm glad I broke the ice.

The salary is what I have never earned in a month since I was born. 😊

Congratulations bro.

I actually started coding since 2022, but the discipline to be consistent is my major barrier.

What platform did you use to learn?

KingDash09:

Seun:
I would like to address the allegations on Twitter about tribalism on Nairaland or that I am some kind of tribalist, because I was told that not addressing them means that they are true.

The more extreme variants of that claim are being pushed primarily by south-eastern tribalists who feel that south-western tribalists have the upper hand on Nairaland in their battles with each other.

Whenever they are banned after breaking rule 2 of Nairaland, they will go back to Twitter to lament about how Nairaland is against their tribe and how I'm personally working against them.

I urge you to disregard any accusation against me or against Nairaland if the accusers cannot prevent hard evidence to support their claims. These people make things up, and people just believe them.

For avoidance of doubt, I have always been a supporter and admirer of south-eastern people. I will never have any tribalistic bone in my body. I am a human who views people as humans first.

The micro-kernel of truth in the mountain of lies is that Nairaland is under-staffed. The staff I have do not moderate as efficiently as I want them to. They also struggle with following my instructions.

So if you go to Nairaland looking for tribalism, you will find it in certain areas, just as you will if you search Twitter for tribalism, because of people whose main business online is tribal trolling.

However, I want Nairaland to be better than Twitter. I want to improve the consistency of moderation on Nairaland. For this reason, I am in the process of recruiting more people to help.

Check my profile, I don't engage in tribal banters here.

But i can say for certain that if strict measures are not taken, the tribal slurs won't reduce.

I know many monikas from both sides of the region that engages on tribal dragging often.

Regardless of how ambiguous they would want to make their comment be, provided it has tribal undertone, that person should be banned for at least one week.

FreeStuffsNG:

Naive Finland that has been forming Van Damme by keeping a wanted IPOB terrorist in their country. Smh.

Now Finland too have been jinxed by the unpatriotic elements, naysayers, cyberbullies, criminal defamers and bigots with their bad luck they gave GEJ, Donald Trump, Alhaji Atiku, Peter Obi ati be be lo. Everyone and every organisation they support will always end with bad luck.Smh.

I pity Sim Fubara. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Thought you said they would jinx Israel?

Israel is winning

Thought you said they would jinx Fubara? Fubara is winning.

They are supporting Jesus Christ over Muhammad, hope they would jinx Jesus Christ too since they jinx anyone they support?

Hezzyluv:
The only unpredictable games here are:-
Inter vs ATM and Napoli vs Barcelona

PSV and Dortmund too.

asiwaju2027:
Napoli don enter one chance


Arsenal will struggle


Mancity always getting easy draws

Its not an easy draw, its because they are too good that most of the opponent would seem easy.

Bayern couldn't beat those boys soundly.

idongesit88:
Fair draw, only tough match is inter milan vs atletico Madrid

PSV vs Dortmund

Napoli vs Barcelona

Akinboboz:
Nice draw, very nice...

But then..... I want Madrid out and likewise barca...

You hate Spain why

Nice one bro.

I'm a newbie, please what are the challenges you faced as a beginner and how did you overcome it?

Rossikk:
Look at this brainwashed man.

If they had said ''our skin colour is white as snow'' it would not be ''figure of speech''.

But they said REPEATEDLY that their skin colour is black, so it is ''figure of speech''.

Who do una this thing?

Are the carved images posted also ''figure of drawing''?

MUMU.

ZEPHANIA 3:10

''From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my dispersed ones shall bring my offering''.

Is that prophesy also a ''figure of speech''?

Brainwashed people.

Since Jews are originally blacks, how would that make a common Nigeria to know their left from their right?

Honestly Nigerians Baffles me.

There's nothing different between the people that Supports israel bombardment of innocent Civilians and The people that supports and defends Tinubu's worst form of Government.

Supporting evil is a common thing for many Nigerians, truth and humanity is a taboo to them.

What amazes me the most if that the same people that defends Tinubu still has the effrontery to accuse pro israelis as wicked where in real sense they are all the same.

Reminderz:
do you even know what 8 inches is? I doubt? or you've let what you see in porn destroy how you perceive sex and dick length??

or should I say you've slept with numerous men to know which dick is small and which dick is big let alone 8 inches? smh

I shock as i see that comment, she say 8 inches na average.

If 100 guys dey, people wey get 8 inches no go pass 10.

Nazgul:
There's no recorded penis with that length. More than 90% of men across the world are between 5inches to 6.5 inches.

Anyone telling you he's 7 or 8 is clearly lying.

8 inches doesn't feel that big, i have one.

CoronaVirusPro:
He is welcomed to Islam! The only true religion!

Being the fastest growing religion in the world is not by mistake. People are digesting the Quran and finding out the truth.

Helinus is that you, you sound alike

Gerrard59:
Apples to oranges. Prostitution is not a crime, at least in southern Nigeria. It is a service which is consensual. Kidnapping is adopting someone WITHOUT the person's permission and blackmailing to receive money. Armed robbery is stealing someone's money. Theft is a crime. Ritualism is killing another person with the belief that money can be made from body parts. Which is a false notion as it does not work (https://www.nairaland.com/6856398/cannot-make-money-via-rituals)

If you perform the trio in almost every country, you will get life imprisonment or the death penalty. But prostitution does not have such a punishment, assuming it does in the first place (https://www.nairaland.com/7684230/how-reduce-hook-ups-nigeria).

Apples to oranges. Please try harder next time.

Nobody said prostitution is a crime, Op said they lack shame.
Do they lack it? Yes.

This man should be arrested

You dey whine Nigerians ba

sarkinbauchi:
But you're not patriotic to your own Country Nigeria you call Zoo. Hypocrisy

Even Buhari is not patriotic, that's why he hired Ethiopian airline, painted it Nigerian airline just to cashout

Emekaphilip360:
So you mean all the girls doing hookup, olosho and acting porn are all damaged? You forget some do it because of money?? Even if they don’t want to it .

Person like you would decriminalize Ritualists, armed robbers and Kidnappers just because they do it for Money.

Oga is prostitution the only means to make Money?

The old loans they collected, they have refused to account for it.

Another 400 million dollars to loot again?

God please have Mercy on reasonable Nigerians.

This is too much brain torture for the reasonable folks.

Seem like i would avoid Nigerian news, its gives me headache and pains.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
If they're killing Hamas, nobody will complain. But bombing hospital, killing civilians, kids, blocking access to humanitarian & medical aid, that is war crimes & not military victory.

How do you expect them to kill Taliban when they are using Civilians as shield?

Israel doesn't like the fact that civilians are suffering casualty.
But if Hamas finds out that Israel can't attack them no matter what they do just because they use human shield, its over for israel.
