Download Vs code as alternative and use it with python extension. Also note that latest python version doesn't work on windows 7. So you may have to use python 3.7 or so.

adelnehis:
Do you already have a VTU API

you can see he mentioned using Flutterwave for this purpose. that's the API

You won't get concrete review without someone viewing it to check. Screenshots alone is not enough as one has to view it live to test its functionality to point out the errors to be fixed.

You made mentioned of learning JavaScript and you have knowledge with python and you said you want to let go when there are lots of framework you can use for web.

Using their framework should not take you much to learn and the irony is that you can still do most of the stuffs you talked about like creating bots with Django, flask etc . I mostly recommend learning Django because it makes the job easy and comes with already made admin backend.

Most people won't really care what you used to develop the bot provided it does the job and easy to setup and now most shared hosting can be used to host your flask or Django web app on cpanel.

I used to think like this when I was leaning python basic and running it on command line wasn't really what I wanted. In fact, I also hated JavaScript So I tried to learn Django which so far is not bad.

Even at this, I still find myself learning basic JavaScript to get things done as one can't really run away from JavaScript if you go into web dev.

Funny thing is that you can learn the aspect of JavaScript to use for the job, not really advance if you don't have plans of becoming a full time JavaScript developer. You can do wonders with just basic JavaScript and Django, flask.

The aspect of JavaScript I learnt is manipulating of Dom and making Ajax request which one can use with Django or flask and it does the job without going into advance JavaScript.

To get the massive user base. You Know that people love awuuf. Everyone will be asking you where did you download this movie from and you tell them the App so they too can download it on Play store or IOS store. People will love it. My main problem is capital and my concern is how can a person get the movie licence for genres of movies?? I don't seem to understand the licencing aspect. What do you think my brother??

problem is not capital, for this kind of stuff, you will be in deep law suite for copyright infringement because you will actually give access to all manners of people to download any new movies.

Entertainment bloggers and whatnot will have access and start downloading and reuploading, making the movie app ecosystem to be abused.

This is why most of this movie platform encrypt their downloaded file to only play on the platform else money will be lost from both the platform and the movie producers .

LikeAking:
really?

let me inform LALA.


With JS no need for an internet connection to extract mails and its faster.

As for an easy job for Python, hmm. E no go dey that easy as you think.

You are dealing with lots of email and phone number formats.

You have to do some things on some arrays, etc.

remove duplicates, etc.

etc,etc,etc,etc,etc,etc,

internet or not, the job is done. That is what matters. Whether python or js, the bottom line is that it works.

You did a nice job.

The difference between using python and this, is that one can easily run this on their browser without downloading and installing anything on their pc or phone as js works with the browser.

Using python would mean installing it and getting it to work and it's not everyone that would want to go through that stress.

So js in this case is cool for the job

Hi guys!
I'm here again.
I've been studying some materials on programming on microverse, I'm having problems running some of their codes on my windows laptop, they said I'd have to install Ubuntu since it's an open system. Pls, my question is :
1. My laptop is also been used for other things like school work, will installing Ubuntu not affect it?
2. I no want spoil this laptop, it's the second laptop I'm buying in a short time
3. They said something about dual Installation, pls can you guys explain. Thanks all
I must say though, programming is kinda interesting.

make use of virtual box to run it. This way you don't have to messup your system BIOS trying to run dual boot.

DeLaker:
I haven’t tried overriding and admin login view before but I know it’s possible, I’ve only used the OTP concept on a Django and ReactJs project and it works fine.

I guess via normal custom login view for all users. I just needed it for admin panel.

Anyway, I will dig deeper to find a way around this. Thanks for your input. Really appreciate.

DeLaker:
You can write a view to override the login view search how to, on the OTP models they’ll be a Boolean field set to false by default so it’s after the OTP has been verified before redirect can be triggered successfully else revisiting admin URL should redirect back to the OTP form page.

oh, I get it.

Although still can't find reasonable resource on overiding the admin login view as most of the write-up is only talking about the form. No details on overiding the view file.

DeLaker:
In the user_logged_in signals, you can filter the user instance if it’s is_superuser then send OTP, and also you’ll have to override the admin login view to redirect to the OTP form on successful login instead of redirecting to the admin page… this should work.

now I get the point. The issue here is messing around with the admin login view.

I am finding it hard to locate this admin login view in Django files. That is where the problem is right now.

Also, you made mentioned of redirecting to OTP form on successful login. Doesn't this create a bug in the system if the user is giving a login session before displaying the form.

They can easily just revisit the admin URL if they noticed they have login session already.

DeLaker:
You can use Django user_logged_in signals and create app to generate OTP then call the create or update model in the signal then send the instance OTP via twilio or email…

please note that the OTP setup will only be for admin login panel. Not all user. So how can this be implemented for just the admin URL so admin gets the OTP which must be inserted before login will be accepted.

[quote author=OLisaMacaulay post=106611041][/quote]Nice to see this. Want to ask. Do you have idea on adding sms OTP to Django admin login. Any idea is welcome. Note that there is google Auth package but that is not what I needed. So if you have an idea on this, you can mention

CodeArtist:
There are so many people once they see something amazing and great, the first thing they do is ask for the source codes.
If you really want to be great in what you do, examine the output, try to picture the codes in your mind then try in every way you can to create something like or greater than what you have seen
The source code won't impact anything in your learning skill,instead it makes you lazy
Have a creative mindset, think of crazy ideas , google what certain codes are used for and how they are used then try creating something with it. Believe me you would be 90% better than you were before. It also helps you easily remember every codes that you have ever used
Don't Learn with source codes,it doesn't help
https://youtube.com/channel/UCizop2InXoW_j5pWhOT5G_g

this is where you got it wrong. Asking for source code doesn't really mean using it at times. There is a lot to learn from someone source code to be better programmer.

Some YouTube video will not teach you what you may find in some source code. That is an hidden gem for developers to learn new and clean coding style.

Source code is one of the hidden weapon for developers to use to find something something new to learn.

Write a python code or algorithm that validate a student Reg No. It must start with two letters followed by four digits example : CK1234.

An error will be flagged If a user enters an input that is not within the specified conditions.

Kindly help me out with this.

This should help

while True:
regn = input('enter reg nunber: ').strip()
print(regn[:2], regn[2:])
if regn[:2].isalpha() and regn[2:].isnumeric() and len(regn) == 6:
print("beta pikin"
break
continue

I still don't get it. I don't do all these loans stuff, I non de bet... My BVN is almost always submitted to only financial institutions.

it's very easy to get by replacing 1 number with the one they have. imagine you have a phone number, if I remove one number and replace with another , it becomes another person's number. So they can use it to check and if it goes through, then they will contact you with the details there.

If you are using windows 7, latest version of python requires windows 10. So try the older version of python and see. Better still, like what someone had said, download the Microsoft redistribution to update your dll

Just think of problem solving project either for business use or utility.

Library management system, school management system, hospital management system, sales/stock management system, hotel management system etc. You can as well do Google search for more .

Go to YouTube and search for denisivy, watch his video tutorials on django

Pycharm best for pure python programming but for stuffs like Django and flask not good since you have to work with both html, CSS and javascripts languages especially if you love working with auto-complete intelisense syntax from the ide on Django, flask,CSS, html, JavaScript. Pycharm doesn't go well with them

SqueezedPant:
Finally found a way to download all Udemy videos for python tutorial.
I'm done downloading so I'm starting my python journey today.

wish me luck.

like someone has rightly said, python is vast so you have to find a niche to dwell on, either web or software using the various frameworks available as you may get tired of just running codes on terminal alone. It all start from writing hello world.

Also with python, it gives you the ability to automate lots of task with few lines of codes. guess by now you should have gone far with your learning curve

You have to fund the wallet and then use their API on your portal. So when users buys from you, it directly connects to the API. So your API charges you while you charge your customer your own price different from what your API charges

abatechz:
If you find mastering the code difficult, try the GUI program Tkinter It makes work easier when building desktop apps, I'm still trying to understand how it can be used for Web apps.

then get dirty with Django or flask for webapp. for me I will recommend Django if you can take the pains to learn it due to its features and premade admin panel.

olubantylove:
Hello everyone, I'm a fullstack developer with experience building web applications . I'm seriously in need of a job, either remote or full time. Also if if you can link me up with any gig, I'll so much appreciate it too.

My stacks are Laravel, PHP, JavaScript, Bootstrap, CSS and HTML. Also I'm pretty good with version control systems tools like GIT/GITHUB.

how do someone contact you then. Would love to get something done, especially front end design only. If you are available, then you can teach via WhatsApp or drop your WhatsApp contact

Alfred234:
So VPN can steal your banking information?
I pity you, better go and learn more about VPN before displaying your ignorance on the internet.

so you are not aware they can even do more damages to your internet activities if you use unsafe and untrusted VPN. It can steal your ATM card details, password etc.be guided.

felixedet:
Mr minister Sir, with all due respect: I have been using VPN since 2003, as a network engineer that I am.

If you aren't aware that VPN has been deployed by tech savvies in Nigeria years ago before your unfortunate mis- appointment as a monster.

Your simply too outdated to be given attention...... stop embarrassing your generation.

lots of people are still new to VPN and might not be aware that some VPN are not really safe. Some are tools used by hackers to steal ones details. So he is not entirely wrong.

kechywillz:
How can VPN expose ur data with ur bank details,mr Linus

trust me he is not entirely wrong as some VPN out there are not really VPN but a tool to steal ones browser details. So if you Jon's use it on browser to access your internet banking platform or other sensitive portal, don't be surprised when you start getting hit by unknown scammen

codesngr:
How can you work on backend without knowing html , the backend works in hand with frontend .collection of data , you need frontend basic experience to work on backend chief.

How can you manipulate user data at frontend with information from backend if you don’t know html and css . I said at least have basic knowledge of html and css in any programming language you choose, you can’t skip them. It almost impossible

Basic knowledge, good. Having basic knowledge of html and css is cool but its never a criteria that prevents one from becoming an expert in web dev. Like I said, you can decide to become full back end programmer without HTML and CSS. Someone can handle the aspect of HTML and CSS part if you can't.


There is a guy at my end that doesn't even care about HTML and CSS as he has someone that takes care of it while he focus on back end. Its main selling point is back end and he is extremely good at it. what would you say about that. Is he a web programmer or not.

codesngr:
App development is part of web technology I mentioned abii data science?

U need experience in html or css experience in any programming language you want to learn. If u tell me , you learned JavaScript or python or any without it , sorry to say , you are just a lier. Op asked about learning a programming language, which I advised to learn HTML and CSS before picking any programming language to learn like JavaScript and rest. Only for you to jump out and say html and css is just for web .

People like you, don’t like don’t know and you don’t want someone that knows to teach you.

html and css knowledge is used in any programming field.

Stop sounding foolish.

One don't really have to be good at HTML and CSS to become a programmer. Without this two, you can still be extremely good with learning programming even web technology.

Someone can decide to just be a back end developer . this is why in most tech firm in web dev, they have back end and front end developer.

someone don't really have to be good at HTML and CSS to be an expert in web development. This is why they have full stack dev, back end dev and front end dev. You can be good at both which is a plus but if you don't want to learn HTML and CSS, you can still be good at any programming language that handles back end.

killerdragon:
You serious

I actually have a python bot from 4 years ago (pretty outdated I know) but I think it can still work.

I'm not familiar with python so I can't use it.

If you can please drop your details

you can reach me via the details below on my nairaland signature. I will have to check the site to see if it can be automated for test run.

If you would like it to be automated, I can make a bot to do the job for you while running on the vps server.

At least you wouldn't need someone to keep pressing next as the bot will get it done for you.

You can learn and practice basic programming but when it comes to advance practice, you need a computer because there are certain stuff that won't work on phone as some extensions, plugins, modules use on a framework or programming language requires it, plus it makes the job faster with multi tasking, debugging, testing etc

Albertone:
You forgot access to laptop/computer.

I stopped coding because I couldn't have access to a laptop anymore.And I have passed the stage of using phone to code.
The zeal is still in me sha...

this shouldn't be an excuse as there are laptops you can get for less. some people can buy a phone of 70k and they would tell you they can't afford a laptop even when that 70k can get them one if they go for fairly use.

you have to start small. the irony here is that some of us buys high end phone that could have been used to buy laptop without even taking note of that
