Nice one ...Obamas deal with Iran was mind troubling

I'm pretty sure you have no clue about the deal.

TheCongo2:
Thanks for your feedback.
I always thought all computer languages tackle issues the same way.

No there are different classifications of programming language Static vs Dynamic, functional vs object oriented. The difference between functional and Object oriented is so wide, that when trying to switch from one to the other, the first advice you get is forget everything you know about programming.

TheCongo2:
Now, how can one learn to program without been in a contest of a language ? Is there any materials you may recommend.

This is hard and it mostly comes by experience. I really don't know any good book that can explain the concept.

TheCongo2:
I am into computer networking with a passion for automation. Therefore I am learning to program IRQ interrupt, arduino...

That's awesome.

TheCongo2:
I am confused about the bolded. How can one learn to program without learning a programming language?

Learning to program is learning to solve problems. An example is learning to communicate rather than learning English or French. Of course you would need a language to communicate but they are two different things.

Same with programming, its learning to solve problems with computers and most times one would use a programming language but people who just learn a programming language can only solve problems in the context of the programming language they learnt. Their problem solving skills is built around the language they learnt.

On the other hand those who learn to program, try to solve the problems independent of a programming language, when they have a solution they use the best language to implement.


TD bank is having a talent hunt this week in Ottawa, I put it in my last post but it was removed and I was banned by the anti spam bot.

And you can imagine the source of your info? You and Lai Mohammed who sabi lie pas? If Lai with all his prowess in lying technology could accept that they were borrowed aircraft, then who are you to say otherwise? Anyway, continue in your false hope.

Dude believe what you want, it doesn't affect the truth.

psucc:
Hope we are not going back to military regime. While his counterparts in other climes are commissioning schools and industries, he busy commissiong military formations with borrowed weapons.(Remember we borrowed attack helicopters from Pakistan for military training)

Stop lying
Nigeria bought training planes from Pakistan, while the planes were being built, Pakistan gave the Nigerian Airforce planes to use for training until they deliver the ones Nigeria paid for.

TEECANN:
Like seriously at the bold part above?

Wouldn't have thought so by a long stretch. I don't actively do twitter anyways. So what do I know.

It will all end in praise IJN!

Lots of tech people advertise when their teams/company are recruiting. It's one sure way to at least get a human to view your cv.

I recently joined twitter just for that.


If you check my earlier post, I stated that I got my job via reddit. Lots of ways to get a job, just be open and willing to try. I always say whenever "No" is the worst that can happen with an opportunity, go for it. So any platform that can connect you to people is a potential recruiting platform.

Does this mean that HTML, CSS3, Bootstrap, node etc aren't worth the hassle?
Swift?

Node is Javascript on the server so I had it covered in the first post.

SWIFT is for IOS development so its worth it. One of the best advice i ever received was "Don't learn a programming language, learn to program" once you understand this, your career will take off.

HTML and CSS are for front end jobs but in my opinion, its something most people who have done any web development should know, so it doesn't count as a "big skill".

tomakint:
Stop educating these ones they are not wired to think deep, to them Buhari is the best thing that happened to Nigeria since slice bread.

I know you hate Buhari but it will interest you to know this Tucano aircraft is what GEJ wanted to buy but Obama blocked. I can't remember you criticizing GEJ for trying to buy the Aircraft, rather you and your kind blamed Obama for not supporting GEJ.

Ratello:
We all know that stop repeating that here we are talking of the cost implications of acquiring such from US when fairer ones with cheaper prices can be gotten from Russia or China

There are lots of things involved in buying Military weapons and cost is just one of them.

We bought training aircrafts from Pakistan recently too.

Unlimited22:
Which languages do you feel are the most marketable to potential employers?

Java, javascript, PHP.

There are also availability for Python, Ruby and C# developers.

Unlimited22:
Make una give us hope na... Salary, work conditions, job availability, certifications, etc.
Please na

Getting the first job is always the hardest and might be frustrating.
Salary is ok/good/great depending on experience, company and personal preference.
Work conditions also differ by company but it tends to be positive for most. You can also look for remote jobs or jobs with flexible work hours.

For availability, I'd say there are lots of jobs for developers but experience and skills play a big factor in the availability.

I know for a fact that most software companies didn't want Amazon to choose a Canadian city for their 2nd HQ because it would drive wages up. Talking of Amazon, they are recruiting for their Seattle office (4 recruiters have reached out to me since December last year).

Certifications don't matter (90% of the time) in Software development. My employers know I went to school because it's on my resume so I could have lied and gotten away with it because no one has asked to see even a copy of my certificate.

LinkedIn and Twitter are good places to hear about job opportunities.


Feel free to ask more questions if you have any.

Unlimited22:
Are there any software engineers/developers on this thread sef?
Make una talk na, let's know what's up. Biko nu.

Yes there are.

l

where you there when they signed the contract for the supply if those aircraft, to know if it includes training and all those things you mentioned, if buhari really didn't embezzled the funds why would he hurriedly pay for those aircraft without the approval of the legislature and still will wait till 2020 to get the aircrafts to Nigeria. weaponry of an aircraft that costs 2x if not 3x the price of the planes itself. before you speak anything think first.. never has any country weaponize a plane and spend almost 3x the original price of the plane, are they stocking it with nuclear weapons...

Bros buying a plane is not the same as buying a car. You pay for a plane before it is made.

Sexytemi:
I said she should have said for personal use using saving money as an excuse instead of saying for a friend when she already said she had no one over there, if you're going to lie about something make it a clean one, the "i don't have any friend then i want to give it to a friend" made them deport her and not because of how plenty the weaves were.

There's a limit to what you can bring in for personal use and she crossed that limit that's why she was flagged. Lots of people carry things for others and immigration officers know this.

Some foreign schools introduce new students to people from their country to help them settle down quickly so at the time she applied for a visa she might not have had a friend but that might have changed. Also with social media, all it takes to make a friend is a tweet.

The quantity she carried actually betrayed her.

PS: if there's no limit to what can be carried, then every importer would claim personal use for their goods and skip paying import duties.

Sexytemi:
she should have been smart about it, like telling them its for personal use since she's new and would want to save money on weaves.

There's a limit to what you can bring in and from the narration above, she carried way more than personal limit permits.

Also remember immigration agents are trained to detect anomalies and people trying to game the system.

The result of greed and not knowing the rules.

1) Your visa doesn't guarantee that you can enter a country, that is determined by an immigration officer at the border, you'll do well not to draw attention yourself when traveling on a non immigrant visa.

2) You can't start a business on a student visa, the lady forgot she was going to a country were rules and regulations are followed.

Ibime:
You're right. I no dey follow market these days but I vaguely recall reading it somewhere which must be wrong. Anyway the fact that Tesla market cap was higher than Ford, GM, BMW and co means something is not right. This is technology that these other companies would easily disrupt.

Tesla's value is in the data it collects from it cars.

harmbhrosz:
lol go back up there and read what she wrote again(that was if you even did in the first place)......was it written in pidgin?

Maybe you just want to castigate and criticize because everyone else is doing so

Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups. I try not assume.

thebosstrevor:
funny how a ignorant fellow is calling another person ignorant,funny how you said it is not a platform for abbreviation then when on to say using abbreviation on whatsapp is a choice not a compulsion.i can SEE how smart you are.

using abbreviation is a choice and not a compulsion,so why are you criticizing the girl who wrote in abbreviations on whatsapp?

You don't use abbreviations for strangers especially non standard ones like the girl did.
Also short messages doesn't mean abbreviated text.

harmbhrosz:
lol was she typing in French? The problem here was that she was communicating Informally with a Formal individual so that leaves us with an inappropriate means of communication and not inability to communicate in English

Do you think everyone who speaks pidgin English can speak proper English?

naptu2:
That's the way Trump usually looks at signing ceremonies (usually followed by adjectives like greatest, best, beautiful, biggest, etc). There's really nothing special about it.

That's the only thing he likes when it comes to papers, you know he hates reading.

harmbhrosz:
I ain't rooting for the girl

I was only quoting someone who implied that the supposed lady doesn't know how to communicate in English without blunders.

The only issue here (based on what we have in that screenshot above) is that the lady could not differentiate between a Formal and an Informal communication.

How is the employer supposed to know she can communicate in English?

CriticMaestro:
What I don't agree with the man is the way he tries to potray the scenario as if he knew that she's not capable of handling the job...
The key instrument used in judjing her was her attitude not ability...
But the man is trying to frame it like from their actions we shall know them

Ability can be taught, attitude cannot so when it comes hiring, people hire for attitude.

If she can't be cautious when looking for a job, what are the chances of the lady being dedicated when she gets the job?

harmbhrosz:
the fact that she short-handed every of her text doesn't automatically implies that she's bad in English communication, I have friends who are fluent in both written and oral English language but when they come online to chat me they end up abbreviating everything that you'll almost not make sense from their chat if you're not familiar with them........that's just the influence of social media.

The lady in context might just be carried away while sending those texts, (I'm 87% sure she won't write in an interview the same way she sent those text)

So I was only saying you shouldn't conclude that she's bad at communicating in English or won't take corrections if given.

Chatting with friends is different from chatting with a potential employer or a stranger. So many qualified people looking for jobs why hire one who can't be a***d to compose a simple message?

CriticMaestro:
Haha haha dude I'm not competing with u ..imi just trying to communicate as fast as I can...
But I can see you are Mr perfect, yet you are still jobless...I don't blame you sha...stay put with your mediocre mind

Communication is not a race, so why the rush?

The aim of communication is to pass messages so the proper thing is to write whatever message you are sending as clear as possible.

Asari: Dino was pushed.
Murray Bruce: Dino jumped because he was gassed twice and he's asthmatic.

Everyone knows the senators only fight for themselves so people have no problem disrespecting them.

There's something wrong with Rochas.

freeze001:
Makes even more sense that he had to jump out considering the attendant risks of remaining in that vehicle and having the breath literally snuffed out of him.

So Police men actually opened a canister of gas inside the car they were driving?

Seriously?

You can hate Buhari and police all you want but don't believe everything you read.

laudate:
And who says being a wife and mother is an inferior role, or a bad thing? It is a lot of hard work. [b]Women should be encouraged to get their relationship goals right, while putting their professional lives, in order. Both need to be well-aligned, otherwise the homefront will be under threat. [/b]Afterall, when Clinton started off with the "wife, mother and grandmother" roles, she still included the Senator, Secretary of State and FLOTUS in her bio, didn't she?

What do you mean by the bold part?

Shouldn't it be
People should get their relationship goals right?

It takes two (or more) people to make a relationship work.

SalamRushdie:
Of course the Americans are only about what umyou can push to them but despite all the half a billion Tucano deal Trump didn't fail to remind Buhari that he was commissioning the killing of Christians

Trump scammed Buhari.... Saying he is trying to push their Agri products to Nigeria.

SalamRushdie:
The Americans know better than you do ..Trump didn't mince word , they know what they are saying ..Buharo has been killing Christians and that was what the whole invite was all about

Nah the invite was about American companies getting juicy contracts in Nigeria. Listen to his speech and reminding Buhari about the aid they give of about $1 billion.

If the PDP wants to win or wants Trump support, they should tell him American companies can set up shop in Nigeria without any hindrance(like they can handle power) and Trump would support them.
