Dual Core:
Slow down with the questions.

First deal with this question: Are you ready to pay for the services of a freelance programmer?

Mobinga:
This spambot is a joke.

Codeigniter does it for me. Built on top of it to suite my needs. Still is my fave. How come Kohana's not on the list?

WebMonk:
Cool. Excellent documentation and a vibrant community. Its light-weight and a little barebones, but most have been made up for by the community and updates.

I think Dojo Animation is much advanced and indept than Jquery,because jquery gets u confused in the chaining, but with dojo,you create each animation like a timeline then combine them and play that well,thats a cretain precedence as to which animation runs first.
that's an example from their website,the only issue i have is that documentation don't explain all,at times i have to read their source code which is something i'd rather jump into lagoon than read,jquery alright, its straight forward,i use both but larger projects i use Dojo.

pc guru:
Yep i tried CakePHP,Codeigniter always threw myself outta of the thirdmidland bridge, however some think that's its because of the previous contact with CakePHP and Codeigniter that i got more comfortable with Zend. can't say. yes pls add a poll

 //define my class to extend CActiveRecord (Yii builtin class for ARs)
class users extend CActiveRecord{
, 
, 
}
 usage 
   $user = new users(); 
                        $user->attributes = $_POST['user-form']; 
                        $user->save();

Well said, but what baffles me is that a lot of Nigerians do not like hearing such comments, it is not disrespectful but the truth. Instead of them being annoyed with such comments, they should start looking for how they can put people with the right skills together so that we too can start creating the type of advance software people in the west are creating.

Frameworks of any language make such projects very easy. Ruby on rails would more or less be like magic so guys, please dont run down everyone, to be honest, recreating this site wouldn't be half as challenging as its being made to seem.

tundebabzy:

Has anyone here heard of web frameworks? A django expert will recreate this site in less than a week plus django is free, very popular and open source. Updates to the framework are pushed when new security tricks are discovered.
The only thing I know MIGHT be hard to recreate is the amount of traffic on nairaland #shikena

pc guru:
@omo_dun i think they are good programmers here,but to be quite frank its true most like to brag,i avoid bragging because i dont know it all,everyday is a learning process for me,as for Nairaland i don't think the owner plans migrating forward because i gave a simple suggestion which was to create a simple API that sits in between just like a REST Web-service that way,others can make numerous variants of nairaland applications or even widgets just like how Twitter does? you know because nairaland i believe can become better,if not we are all just here for nothing if we can't even contribute to help nairaland move which is quite sad,don't you think?

Dear Nairaland Programmers,

It is not rocket science to develope a blackberry application for nairaland. Its a global competetive environment we live in now with ICT as a driving force. In order to remain relevant you need to move with trend. Don't be left behind. Its bad for business + we(NL users) deserve/need it. We hope you look into our humble request.
