davidsmith8900: I just did. An App Challenge for ways in which technology can help our society.

davidsmith8900: Like you said. "THESE GUYS DIDN'T DO THE THINGS FOR THE MONEY", that's because they already HAD IT. WE DONT. So we can't think like them. We must have passion and greed.

davidsmith8900: Yeah but Zuckerberg, Gates, Jobs, Sergey & Larry have 3 things in common, which you, I and many on Nairaland don't.

1. They are nonblack founders or better yet they are white men
2. Their parents came from the middle-income family who have enough money to get them a computer or a laptop at a very young age (like 12)
3. They went to top universities in USA, like Harvard, Stanford or Yale.

So thus we can't think like them.

dhtml: Jeez, spamming my threads is one way to frustrate my efforts,
And so I unfollow and resign from this thread.
It is possible that this was my last tutorial on nairaland.

davidsmith8900: Personally, I think we need the money b4 we pay a whole alot of time to start understanding code. We can copy and paste for a while and then we go back to see what it is about. When Google started, they didnt really know how to program well, but they got better as time went by. Facebook got better as well. I think we should get the money 1st and then focus on understanding code.

GodMode: To create a study group means u have considerable amount of knowledge in javascript. So I guess u already know the answers to your question

GodMode: I thought u created a javascript study group

davidsmith8900: Not 2 spam or repeat myself in this post ~> https://www.nairaland.com/1793070/programming-challenge-beginners-n20000/4#24706681 .Im totally down with this, I just think that at the end of the day the main point of these challenges, competitions and study groups is to learn and practice right?

So why not learn by making a real app that can help our society and give us money.

Like experience is the best teacher. What if we did these challenges, competitions and study groups in order to make a real app like:

a. An app that can predict when NEPA will turn the light off or bring it on
b. An app that can predict what Naija streets will have the most traffic, the best route to take and where to go from there
c. An app that can predict where next crime or violence or Boko Haram attacks will be.

Or how do u feel?

Like lets team up to build apps that not only will add value to our society, but will also give us money and recognition.

We could also make a Facebook or Twitter or Google clone and then try to sell it. Pata pata, people will say they are not interested, but either way, we would have learn something. Or how does everyone feel?

blenyo11: This is a great one you are starting. At least a place to share, learn and earn.
I have this challenge which I think we can start with.
Trying to send an image as a byte array to a web API. What is the best way of achieving this?

stag: *Grabs a seat*

Begin Sire!

DharkPoet: Been doing a lot of javascript learning these days. Blueyedgeek, this is really nice, would really go a long way, helping brothers out. I'm in like Idi's last name!!

mubarak23: this is a well come development, blueyedgeek

dhtml: Excellent questions, let us illustrate.

When you declare a function as a variable, the function body can change in the execution of the code, for example:




Function Parameters vs Argument

Consider the function used earlier:

'Tony' and 'Olawale' are arguments, while first and last are parameters.

function functionName(){
//code goes in here
}

var variableName = function(){
//code goes in here

}

sisqology: una dey para ooo

sisqology: Hello all. The new competition will be out tomorrow.

qstar: You seem to have forgotten the prophesied battle between Lucifer&his followers vs Yahweh,angel Michael & followers. It is if and when Lucifer is conquered that He'll now go to His kingdom(hades).

Oboy! That movie go hot gann. We could give it a title, like: "The ultimate fight".

dhtml: Hehehehehe, bootstrap tinz

zicjoe: k i downloaded sum shits lyk dat and extract dem

qstar: You are obviously joking here. Yahweh ain't winning neida. Take a good look at the world, even the Christians have a majority share in the Satan's account. Satan is a cool guy, he doesn't go about boasting, but, he's actually got more people (and predictably, more armoury) on His side than Yahweh.

On, the resurrection day, Yahweh can't do nathing 'cos we'd all have become immortal. The guy go fight tire.

zicjoe: Dis bootstrap of a tin self. Hw does it wrk

Karleb: 1. I will stop being HELLophobic.

2. I will become a cheat and an 'opportunity come but once' kind of person.

3. I'll stop reading my bible.

4. I'll stop attending church regularly

6. I will stop paying my tithe, offering na chicken change.
...

But the fact remains that not everyone will get to heaven, so why would I wanna change.
