U need a level of programming skills b4 venturing into cyber sec.

Ikjosh04:


What of cyber security?

Take this advice, I promise u won't regret it..

Injiggerwolf:
6 months might not completely prepare you though it depends on you.
I will advice you to try ”Data Analysis “. meaning you will able to learn Python Programming and R Programming (Basic).
There are high demand for such Skill here including other European countries.......and the average pay is $120,000 per annum.

Mind you, you don't need to be Computer Scientist, you only need to study on YouTube (subscribe to some channels), try some examples and solve some real case study problems.
Then you're good to go

I can relate to these every now and then, its embarrassing atimes when people both young n old just freeze to stare @ u. Most times i ask myself if I wasn't doing something right...

Nomanlike:
Yeah but most times fine boys don't really have a choice with the system like u can't stop people from always staring at u and being the centre of attention

Get the skills, forget the job. Trust me, with that skill u would create more jobs in no time.

In simple terminologies, hope for the best n prepare for the worst......

Welcome 2020

In my opinion, Python is the best for data science. U will need to download anaconda, but do the necessary research first. Cheers

What programming language(s) can I learn for data science?

Please my atomizer as been giving me issues, is there a good cape shop in Abuja where I can get my e.cg checked?

Pls sir, can we borrow your dictionary..

...Demands urgent stop to killings
...Seeks Compensation for victims
...To Visit Julius Malema
...Calls on AU to Intervene

A political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has called on the President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, to urgently halt attacks against Nigerians and the wanton destruction of their property by rampaging citizens of that country.

While demanding an immediate stop to the bloodletting against innocent Nigerians, he called on the South African Government to commence the payment of adequate and commensurate compensation to the victims of the dastardly and unprovoked acts of aggression without delay.

“On behalf of Nigerians, we plead with the South African government, its youths and the enire citizens to put a stop to the wanton killing of Nigerians and destruction of their property by irate South Africans and instead fashion out ways on how Nigerians and other African countries resident in your country can live together in peace and harmony.

“We agree completely with what Julius Malema said and I quote: "South Africa is Nigeria and Nigeria is South Africa.” Therefore, let’s live in unity.

“May we also remind our South African brothers and sisters that Africa is one indivisible continent and that most African countries especially in West Africa and Nigeria in particular, helped South Africa to fight their subjugation under apartheid by generously supporting them financially, materially and otherwise until they attained the abolishment of racial segregation.

“It was not only the right thing to do but was done because Nigeria regards South Africans as our brothers and sisters.

“We urge South African youths to emulate the late icon, Nelson Mandela, who was always for peace and even forgave those that imprisoned him for 27 years. Mandela preached peace, love and forgiveness during his lifetime.

“We therefore encourage the youths to give peace a chance and allow Nigerians and other Africans resident in their country to live in harmony in the spirit of African oneness,” he said.

He urged the South African authorities to urgently evolve both legal and policy instruments to permanently stop this acts of belligerence and open aggression against Nigerians.

He also called on the leadership of the African Union (AU) to intervene and prevent needless hostilities between Nigeria and South Africa which may result if the prolonged attacks against Nigerians and their interests in the former apartheid enclave is not urgently halted.

“It is time for the AU to walk the talk by invoking the necessary sections of its charter to stop this orgy of degradation and dehumanization against Nigerians.

“The AU must prove its relevance by acting swiftly. They cannot afford to obfuscate by mouthing words while shying away from addressing the pogrom and genocide against innocent Nigerians legally residing in South Africa at this time.

“They must act to prevent this unprovoked aggression from snowballing into unimaginable proportions on both sides. A stitch in time would save nine at this trying moments,” he said.

Frank in a statement in Abuja further disclosed that he already had discussions with one of the leaders of opposition political parties in South Africa, Julius Malema, over the imbroglio and said that he would soon visit him to strategize on how to permanently end the hate induced violence against Nigerians in South Africa.

“It is most unfortunate that Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and his ‘yahoo yahoo’ administration is clueless on how to protect Nigerians from this horrendous xenophobic onslaught against hapless citizens.

“Since they are presently busy organizing worthless press conferences, I took the initiative and spoke with Julius Malema, one of the most respected voices in South Africa, and urged him to prevail on his people to sheath their swords and allow peace to reign.

“I will be going to South Africa soon to visit Malema in order to evolve strategies and actions that would end this inhumanity being meted on innocent Nigerians by South Africans once and for all,” he said.

He pleaded with Nigerians back home to exercise restraint in the face of this grievous acts of provocation emanating from South Africa.

“If the South Africans are exhibiting madness, we must maintain our sanity by not attacking businesses owned by Nigerians here but operating under franchises owned by South Africans.

“It is unfortunate that most business outlets now suffering reprisals in the country are 100 per cent owned by Nigerians operating under franchise.

“Therefore any loss of lives or destruction of businesses in Nigeria in reaction to what is happening in South Africa would amount to double jeopardy for Nigeria,” he said.

The political activist commiserated with families that have lost loved ones in the fracas.

He also sympathized with Nigerians who have sustained injuries, lost property or businesses as a result of the attacks and urged them not to take laws into their hands but to allow justice to prevail.

bad ass comment..

"Hungerbad" happens to be one of the funniest nairalander I know, he is good at making a joke out of everything. Even though I never knew u in person, I'm gonna miss ur level of sarcasm. May God grant his family n loved ones the strength to bare these loss. Life is so so short, please we all need to try overlooking our shortcomings, u never know what would happen the very next minute. I lost my dear mother to kidney failure, she had a lot to tell me because she died with my name on her lip. Till today I still wished I was by her side earlier. We only live once(YOLO).

Use your head!

My intention is to venture into python after my java course. I beleive java syntax are more complicated compared to python, probably java would provide me a soft landing when I start python because thats(python)
is my main target....

Ttrrffyyghuuh:


This is beautiful, I'm happy you made the first step, hope it didn't set you back too much financially though as i heard their courses are relatively costlier than the rest, It is challenging no doubt, especially seeing as you're learning a strong and statically typed language as java, declaring and initializing variables, ( we don't do that in python ). Java code can be complicated but it has advantages especially the fact that its less prone to errors, you'll understand along the way.

Also keep up to date with openings for java developer jobs, use hotnigeriajobs or ask your instructors at the course for guides and tips and the next course of action.

Make sure you're prepared to learn on your own, you have no idea how much you'll need to learn on your own to stay relevant, for instance if you want to go into web development, unless you have money to keep churning out, you'll need to learn html and css and javascript, lets assume you have the money for it, but what of frontend javascript frameworks, like react and vue, i personally haven't seen online course that offer angular or react and redux, there's also stuff like redis, docker, and so many other technology that keep popping out every other day.

Besides the money, your time table might not always be flexible for those courses, you will need to find material online to do your own personal research, the field is growing every second, and you have to keep updating yourself.

read online tech articles, there's recode, theres hacker news, even quora, suscribe to tech and programming feeds/sections on quora..
Then stackoverflow, almighty stackoverflow , just know you can't do without it right now, you will come across crazy errors in your code, always check stackoverflow, there's a 90% chance someone has encountered the problem before you and it has been solved..
remember STACKOVERFLOW!!!!!

learn about git and version control, it helps in working collaboratively and maintaining your code, its another tool thats very important.
There's so much to learn but i promise you'll enjoy the journey if you're really dedicated..

Just make sure you learn to use the internet to update yourself and solve programming problems in general, a programming course is only the first step.

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate ur candid advice. Cheers....

I didnt bother going out to waste my time voting because d last time I did(presidential election) my vote didnt change anything. What's d point, when u vote for Mr A and Mr B is given the winning trophy. 9ja which way.

ImDStar:
That was exactly what me and my friend were discussing, what's the essence of voting if after the whole thing, the person we voted against will still be rigged in and be forced on us?

;Dsavage

poor we no dey top 10, rich we no dey top 10.
which one we come dey

Please do you have an idea of a good rstablishment where I can acquire these skills in Ibadan..

aliyuthayo:


Microsoft Server Administration will be good for you

Good question........

TRUSTEDGUY:


Are these really fake notes or have some smart naija guys found the formula for printing our currency.

Pls could u recomend a good n sound computer organisation/insititute I can enroll into in IBADAN, thats why I asked for your direct contact.......thanks

it all depends on you and what you're after..
if you intend to be a web developer, you can start with wordpress, i've never used wordpress before, so i can't say much about it, but it seems to get the work done

but if you intend to go deeper,

start with python, it's has very simple syntax and lets you focus most of your time on learning about programming not on individual lines of code
understand concepts in procedural programming:
like sequence, selection(if tests), repetiton(loops) (these concepts are the same regardless of language, thats why once you've become comfortable in one language, its relatively easier to pickup a another in a shorter amount of time)

understand concepts in functional programming
like arguments, and return values, namespaces e.t.c

learn about oop concepts(oop:object oriented programming)
like classes, methods, inheritance, multiple inheritance, operator overloading, encapsulation, abstraction, polymorphism, composition, delegation, e.t.c
( again the same everywhere regardless of language, and oop is used in almost anything software development)

then pickup a language that suits your needs,(you could continue with python, if you wanted, personally python does a lot for me, especially web dev and data science, even destop apps and it's even used for mobile apps(kivy) but i wouldn't go there, e don try )

if you want to learn to build mobile apps for ios, you'll have to learn swift

if you want to build desktop apps, java(javafx) or c++

if you want to do games programming, c++(unreal), c#(unity) or java(python is good too but for 2d games like tetris or space shooters)

for android development, android, kotlin or javascript(using ionic(a javascript framework for building mobile apps))

if you want to go into ai(artificial intelligence, datascience, deep learning, machine learning, data visualization, python all the way!!)


the point is different languages are better suited for different needs, if you want to learn web development (which is probably the most sought after field alongside mobile app dev), i'll advise you learn php and laravel, or c# and .net(dotnet) or java and spring(these are the most popular languages used in developing websites in nigeria, i believe nairaland is built using php also)

regardless of what you learn, you'll find that asides syntactical differences, the programming concepts i told you about earlier are more or less the same everywhere, of course you could also use one of those crash courses to get up to speed ( build a website in 30 minutes sort of course ) , but you'll need to know those concepts on the long run if you want to really know what is happening in your code

this is a brief overview not a detailed guide to help launch your career as programmer, as you do your own personal research i hope you find more answers that make sense and are useful to you, i fear my speech here may have just bored/confused you

the best way to learn is to build something, always have a project your working on no matter how small, it could be a word count program when you're starting out, or a guessing game, or tic tac toe(X and O) e.t.c, the more you build the more you know, and there are times you'll get really bored, no motivation to go on (like this happens a lot), if you have an end goal in sight(maybe to build your own reddit or nairaland or jumia e.t.c or even your own word cookie or flappy birds) it helps a lot, you begin to search or ask questions in line with that goal and see more useful answers that motivate you to carry on....

by this time 2019 sha, i know say you go don gallant... goodluck

Tnx, pls can I have your direct contact(whatsapp line)
