[s]I don't really see anything wrong in what he posted bro.

I for example started programming on my phone because I didn't have a laptop. I was able to learn the basic syntax of HTML, CSS,JavaScript, SQL and Python right on my phone with the sololearn app back then.

I applied for a bootcamp and was given a webpage with fairly complex styling (for a beginner) to clone as a requirement for admission. I was able to build the website on sololearn, then copied the code into a text editor and saved it with the appropriate filename, downloaded winrar from playstore to compress the folder and upload to Dropbox for submission. Did this all with a phone!

I actually passed and got admitted to the program. This happened some years back and I still sometimes go back to look at that webpage, with a smile.

What I'm saying is don't discourage the op these are his days of little beginning and it will payoff if he continues.[/s]

Are you trying to score cheap points or what?
I even encouraged to work by day and study by night . . . So Where did you see me discourage him?
Or I told him to quit programming and find another career?
Please read to understand next time and not just for likes.
Cheers.

Hey bro. Kindly confirm a business or ask for proof before you post what you just did. I believe you should be mature enough to think before you post.

Thank you

hey you blind? Aint you seen where I asked for proof.
besides, time wasted in typing this coulda been used to send proof. Duh!

I am not asking Anyone for it...I only asked if I could get an interpreter like Django.

Then why did you post the sob story?
When yo could have Simply said "you were looking for an interpreter that woks on phones"

I know how websites make money, (Google adsense, paid promo etc), but I was not sure about how apps make money. Guess what I got the best explanation from a guy on here... There is an adage that says, FOLLOW WHO KNOW ROAD, SO YOU NO GO LOST. tainkk you( in broda shaggi voice)

Long live the king!
I sha don't wanna see any nonsense thread here about being scammed. To be forewarned is to be what Forearmed.
You are very confused. You know how websites make money, see your post below and look at the bolded.

I want to start a livescores website and app company. . . .
Then lastly do you have an idea of how am I going to make money from the site? , and how do I get the app on Google play store and Apple Store? . . .

Plus mentioning google adsense and paid ads, as your only monetisation channels, means you dont know sh!t.
Continue, you are doing well !

^^^ SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM

Show us screenshot of your billing account with:

1.) where it said AWS gave you $200 for the free tier, and
2.) Where AWS and the rest of them applied the 5k, 12k, 10k etc. to your credit history

Twilio gave you 10k usd lol, me and Twilio are like 5 and 6.
FYI, it's sendgrid that gives up to 12k, and it's not a lump sump credit. You're only allowed to use the service for free and every month
what you've accrued for is paid for you on your behalf for 12 months.

You feel we are kids in here.

In that case, there are millions of free resources online and there is really no need to pay. Search well.
Good luck.

Why do you want learn how to type fast?
Are you looking for a career as a professional typist?
Let's start from there. . .

Nigerians always have this sense of entitlement and want everything to ALWAYS and MAGICALLY work in their favor.
You dont have a laptop and so what? Was anybody born with a laptop?
It would have been better if you recognized that a ladder exists and then you climb it one rung at a time.
Why dont you get a job, even if it is to wash cars? Or at the local sawmill. Or the local garage? Then save up, and get a laptop.
Do the job by day, study to become a programmer by night. A lot of people went to school while still doing a regular 9 - 5. They did not die, thus, You will also not die.
But no, you must post here, so that somebody would take pity on you and send you a laptop.
What can you do with an android phone? Or you feel programming is only about writing codes inside a code editor?
Not happening!

Kiddyong123ayo:
I want to start a livescores website and app company.

How much will you charge me? , how much am I going to pay in total? .

[s]Then lastly do you have an idea of how am I going to make money from the site?[/s] , and how do I get the app on Google play store and Apple Store?

I have a budget in my mind, and I will contact the programmer, that fits my budget and demands.

Please I am serious on this

See ... here is a man that would be scammed pretty soon.
So you have zero business idea on how to monetise your intended venture, and then you're asking the programmer whose sole job is to put
up the website to still tell you how to monetise? LOL
Since when did programmers become Business Development Managers or Product Managers or Growth Managers?
Or you wanna pay for the complete package i.e. 2-in-1
This is what happens when you have zero business sense BUT want to do a business BECAUSE YOU SEE THE ORIGINAL IDEA IS MAKING IT BIG.
Before you checked how much livescores is worth now.... Hope you also checked how much livescores has spent in expenses, including but not limited to software development and marketing?
Caramba!

** How about those who don't use the Singleton design pattern?

It has a name and it's cheap

Jboyossai:
thanks for your response sir...
Can you like give me a technical insight of how i can get to read the content of the word/pdf document into my program before i can compare them?

Sorry if my question is too newbie!

Cc: cixak95211

Nah, it's fine.
Simple........look for a pdf reader/parser. Since it's node js, feel free to pick one from the public npm repository
You can do the same for any other document format, as long as it contains recognisable character formats.

Jboyossai:
I am working on a plagiarism checker.
A web app that can check the similarities between two or more submitted word/pdf document.

can you give me the best approach to use to achieve this?

Rookie method:
Good stuff. I am going to assume the documents will contain English alpahanumeric characters.
You want to go by "propensity to be plagiarized" i.e. the probability that what you're seeing is plagiarized. So depending on how deep you want it to be, you could do 1 - 100. Lets stick with 1 - 10 to keep it simple.
Bear in mind that words will always repeat themselves in everyday English sentences, so your best best is to check each sentence, rather than the whole document. Sentence 0 on copy A should be checked against Sentence 0 on copy B. This is a shallow comparison where each word is matched against the other word, and if they are similar, you can give it a 1 depending on how you calibrated your scale. If they dont match, you can give it a 0, once again depending on how calibrated your scale. Do this for the whole sentences in the document and get an average. Then you decide by sentiments what percentage threshold is an indication of pliagarism or not.

Expert method:
Study Levenshtein distance algorithm. I have attached screens for you to see what you will deal with.

650k per month, 20hrs a week, and we "might" have a deal; for either
the Rails or JS.

gfon:
boss can i pm you?

Replied you.

Jboyossai:
Good day boss,

I have a project I'm working on and I will be pleased if you can answer some of my questions.
I am using Nodejs.

Permission to go ahead sir.

Oya hit me

Akanimoh113:
I will...!!
I've been begging for help for months
All I ever wanted was a Smartphone, Lumia phones are headaches . I know it's possible and I believe it is possible.... Nothing is impossible

Okay oooo, Good luck and Godspeed,

gfon:
boss can i pm you?

Sure

^^ Cool. Solid, concise and apt.

Tips that would help win in betting

Dont drag this too far. It's not possible, technically speaking, at least for now. Perhaps in the future, a technology will enable us to do that.
If you remove those stuffs, you'll only get an empty background, mostly white.
The best you can do to that picture, is clean the watermarks and add your own text.
But no jupiter can make you see what was hidden. Not now, perhaps in the next 100 yrs

@Karleb

Looking at the codes pasted on page 1,
I am pretty worried why you're using print instead of return ,
care to explain?
secondly, if you were asked to document the function, what would you assign to the @returns param? void?

EngrBouss:
Simply google Aws free tier and follow the steps to register. You will be given $200 cloud credits to play with, play with it.

You obviously dont know what you're saying.
AWS free tier has no amount tied to it. You are rather billed based on instance-hours or per-GiB data ingress or egress, depending on the service.
Some services have free trials for 1 month and some are limited to X number of API calls per month during the free tier which extends to 365 days.
GCP on the other hand will give you $300 which can be used platform-wide. After the expiration of the money, you still have 12 months (minus how many months you've used so far) for select services as in the case of AWS.
Both of them will also give you a very underpowered compute engine to play with free for 365days.
Azure follows the same pattern as GCP

tensazangetsu20:
They don't pick automatically o. They still need to pass through the data structures and algorithms interviews. Clement founder of algo expert studied maths at UPenn and he had to grind CTCI to get a job at Google. He also worked at Facebook before creating algo expert.

People downplay the importance of a computer science degree. Imho that's the second most important degree in the world after medicine and it's related courses. It's possible to learn coding on your own but computer science goes far more than just coding toy apps. Data structures and algorithms, systems design and discrete mathematics are just few of the things people study in computer science.


I have a useless engineering degree and honestly knowing what I know today if I had the opportunity to go back to the university to start afresh I would do a degree in computer science. I am trying to get in for a master's and it's surprising how restrictive the field is even to fields of engineering.

I didn't say automatic job offer . . I said "AUTOMATIC EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES"
Thanks.

No, You don't need CS to learn how to code
However, people who studied CS, at least, outside Nigeria, will be far ahead of you.
Top coys like Apple and Google actually go to the best schools to pick the best CS grads, automatic employment opportunities , no stress
You can still get into those companies too, without a CS degree, but then you must work like hell, to learn in a very short period of time
what the CS grads learnt during their whole stay in school, at least 4 years.
Tell me you can learn in just 1 yr what is originally intended to be learnt in 4 yrs.
The answers lies within you.
Would I encourage any coder/programmer/engineer etc to learn CS . . Hell yeah

achaemeka:
List all you want FOR NOW in the loan app,and I will tell you how we will go about it.

Fixed.

I am GCP certified. Nothing too difficult, though it was kinda easy for me, cos i've been using GCP for a very long time.
Much of it comes down to hands-on experience, cos one thing is for sure.
The questions are way different and tougher from what will see in practice/mock exams or youtube videos
So I'd advise you to create an account with your intended cloud provider and gain practical experience for at least 6mths;
before attempting the cert exam.
Cheers.

p.s. I have been using AWS for as long as I have known GCP, just have a professional bias for GCP.

If you're based in Nigeria which i highly presume, you can't open a stripe account
unless you wanna go through the incorporate-me-abroad path, stressful, more money
stripe is living on past glory these days
there are newer tested and trusted coys that favour new entrants in the market e.g
Paddle, ChargeBee and Recurly to mention a few.
Dig deep.

Google's proprietary DB is BigTable and it's actually NoSQL
MongoDB is the toyota corolla of the nosql world,
there are the ferraris and mclarens there e.g. Hbase, neo4j and cassandra,
used for "big stuffs" beyond the knowledge of the regular and average Joe

Karleb:
Where do we sit when there are no tables?

LOL

Karleb:
I really wish you'd turn up when people critique a language that isn't python or nodejs for no good reason.

Too many threads to go through. Mention me, if the discussion is healthy, i'll be there.
