Can I work with you please?

That talk is for a more private setting and depends on what you have to offer contact me archekit@gmail.com

You can also try Hectic, a new one but has tons of features

airsaylongcome:
The list of those authors whose books positively influenced me are endless


There was the really old Computer Science by C.S French

Andrew Tannenbaum (Computer Networks)

Elmasri Navathe (Database which I totally hated as I never understood the concepts of Normalisation up to Backus-Naur Form)

Deitel and Deitel

Nice ones are you a cs major by chance?

kalex0:
Please I’m still looking for one . I really need to gather more experience before I can stand alone

Physical internships are hard to get in the country, join communities meet people lend a hand in their personal projects and work with them you'll gain alot more than being in a physical internship in Nigeria, most of them don't really push development on you you'll be mostly doing menial jobs with little development (actual internships not funded ones)

All is well comrade goodluck on your endeavours and know that's it's never too late to learn, join a couple of online communities like on discord it helped me alot(still is) and keep your head in the game remember what you want and why you want it even if you one day find yourself in a tough spot just know that if one does not perish then blessings will surely follow.

Indeed the heart of computing is to acknowledge those before you and leave something for those after you, wonderful. Nigerian software developers should be looking at these kinds of threads instead of one's about money, crypto or landing a job

Sorry but how much is the pay

lifeoman:
What about asp.net

Asp.net is very good, has flexibility, powerful tool box especially it's constant monitoring feature it's amazing but it's kinda raw and the documentation is a bit lacking and generally it's not good enough I only advise it for hardened veterans

What I did for my workshop was I installed an inverter with a 12v battery then I also installed 2 medium sized solar panels, was it expensive yes total should approach 300k although I didn't install all at once but now I have zero electric issues for my Desktop, Pc and some gadgets. I advice freelancers who have a workspace and get a moderate amount of clients to go with the inverter X solar panel , battery setup, it's a lifesaver

truthCoder:
PHP has a lot of developers.

Many sites are built with PHP.

Many people know only PHP and its tech stacks…

As long as those people are still Senior Tech Leads in their companies, PHP would still be around.

PHP/Wordpress accounts for more than half of the internet.

PHP would be around for some time

Yes indeed it's just that PHP is a little bit hard to maintain but the learning curve is very impressive a

kalex0:
Please where and how do I apply?

for the companies i have never really applied to any but i think you could just go to the company and ask if they are taking interns, as for remote some post it on tech discord servers, linkedln but mostly youll have to do research yourself, also remote internships are done via Discord majorly so download it and get a hang of it

Hello here are the links to some of the projects i worked on either a minor or major role
https://www.zaxbyslistens.com/

I had a minor role in this one because i just worked on a single feature

Software Design Patterns
As you get better as a software developer you come to realize the importance of software design patterns and that it could help to solve some of the problems you had in your prior experiences, like when your coding something and you find out that the code is getting very messy, especially in large projects when your teammates start developing their own coding patterns and then everyone has their own different coding pattern, and then over time nothing makes sense in the code anymore.
I have seen the codebases of some Nigerians and to be honest, its crap. i don't even know where to start coding because everything is just messed up, no comments, lack of proper indentation, basically zero file structure and then there are weird naming schemes like Controller, coordinator, manager, handler all sorts of different things and no one really has any idea how the code looks like anymore there's data flow going all over the place, if you were to draw the data flow communication graph you might find its basically spaghetti code there would be dependencies all over the place basically, its shit.
This is where software design patterns come in, there are many design patterns but i will brief you on what i think everyone should know. First of all you should think of the concept of simplicity and one way data flow, basically limit the types of objects you have on your system so you might have like controllers, views and data objects and that would be it and if you find that your starting to introduce a bunch of different types like managers, coordinators it'll be hard to understand what's going on there. There is also a software design principle known as Single Responsibility where every class or every method has a single job and it doesn't do more than that and that makes it very easy and quick to reason about what each portion of the code is doing.
I don't really want to take much of your time because this topic is very broad, but let me know if you want an extension of it and if there is anything you dont understand reach out to me at archekit@gmail.com for clarification.

Well umm there is a lack of tech companies in Nigeria out of Lagos and I'm not really sure if most of them take in interns but you can try to apply for remote internships

I find it odd that this thread is suddenly so active but it's nice

grandlexuz:
I first used the internet in 1998, 24 years after I wonder how the world did survive without the internet for thousands of years. Despite my versatility with the internet I realised I am lacking in in-depth know how of the computer.

I am an average perfectionist who likes to get things done by himself. I recently acquired a PhD in Pharmacognosy, however I feel my educational pursuit just began and no one is truly complete without a comprehensive computer knowledge.

I want to be able to build quality websites, design flyers and labels, etc..I am a fast learner and want to learn from scratch Microsoft programs of Office, phone and computer graphic design, website design and development. I would appreciate some mentorship and resource rich websites for my pursuit

I can guide you through but my curriculum is a bit slower than the rest because what I value is a firm foundation not just jumping in, however I can guarantee that you'll be a very solid programmer once you go through it, contact me at archekit@gmail.com if your interested

DrRasheed:
14yrs.

Age doesn't really matter in programming I recommend you set him up with Harvard University's Cs50 with David J. Malam it'll have him ready and set for almost every aspect of programming and it'll give him a wonderful foundation better than most his peers who didn't take the free course

Balaking:
Please house is there anyone that can transform my python scripts to a beautiful Web application
Let's talk business

I can do that and alot more depending on what you want contact me archekit@gmail.com

Animegirl:
Anyone

Calm down lad for these kind of things you can't really set a specific standard only lowest requirements that the pc has to have, and for me I'd say get something with 4gb ram just to stay on the slightly safer side, space can be anything 200gb above I think you can manage it, as for cores almost anything will work but get something with atleast a 1.5hz(giga or smth I forgot the exact standard used for measurement) like for me I started using my tablet on a cloud IDE when I was just entering programming and the first pc I use was I think had an Intel Atom core it was a mini laptop, also take note programming isn't just web development people get that misconception alot I will make a thread about it soon anyways. Mail me for more clarification and keep on coding

LUAN1:
Which of this tech skills would you recommend for a beginners in Nigeria. Data science or web development.

Really depends on what you like it differs from person to person but for data science they 70% of the time have to work in a large organisation so I think it's better to start with normal software development not specifically web dev and then dive into data science or web dev if it ever interests you, and PS they aren't 'tech skills' it's like a collection of these 'tech skills'

promami:
If you have access to a Nigerian state government official website and email service, what will you do with it?

Interesting question first of all at state level not many things are really on a website neither do they really use emails alot so it'll be useless on the most part but if I do get access to federal websites.....let's just say this is the coming of a rebellion XD

Bigajeff:
Check the worth on https://worthofdomain.com

I used this before it's inaccurate I do not recommend

moleposts:
Just like real estate assets, no two domain names are the same. Each domain is a unique asset because only one person or entity in the world can own it at any given time. For example, nobody else in the world can own or use the domain Alter.com except us. Additionally, almost all good dot-com domains are already registered. This is why people and companies pay large sums of money to purchase them in the aftermarket.
The domain name is Naijainfo.com.ng
This is a .com.ng domain name so i don't really know ow to value it, Pl can anyone with experience in the house, chime in.

Hello, I can't really place a price on it but I can estimate, normally .com domains go for around 12 dollars average it can go as low as 9 dollars and as high as 18 that's for the first year talkless of a .com.ng. Naijainfo is a good name but really only blogs or the news sector will usually go for something like that so I'm guessing it should be 4k for first year my own honest opinion and I can be wrong I am no domain name expert Im just saying from my experience buying domains

You see gentlemen, people have a major misconception about what it takes to be an elite programmer. Some say its all about your level of skills, how many languages, libraries or frameworks do you know while some say it's about how fast you can code. All of it doesn't really take you to the elite level do they?.
To be an elite you need the right mindset, skills and Knowledge and most importantly to know software design patterns because when you write code you're not writing it for yourself because someday someone will come to implement a new feature but if your code is messy and unnecessarily complex he has to rewrite the entire thing and that's just an extra pain. “In programming, if someone tells you “you’re overcomplicating it,” they’re either 10 steps behind you or 10 steps ahead of you.” Being an elite is all about writing code that any casual programmer can understand but not necessarily implement, I can write a RegEx that will enable me to shorten a function to just one line but the possibility of it passing a code review is close to none.
Finally I would like to speak about continuous learning in programming, don't just be satisfied with learning html css or JavaScript, reach out for the unknown maybe learn a bit about blockchain development or machine learning possibly read an article about Complex system design, the main point here is to always keep improving yourself after all programming is for the consistent. That's all gentlemen and Keep on Coding.

NOTE: this is my own personal opinion you may comment on yours

Cyber security is much more lucrative it's even sometimes higher than software developers because of the whole digital age UI/UX guys are really just supportive roles
