You are entering "gangster" territory sha o...if you are planning to code an entire CRM or ERP solo. Unless you are looking at it as an opportunity to learn about CRMs/ERPs.

Add Dolibarr to that list for a PHP based (meaning, relatively simpler ERP) ERP. I don't like Dolibarr though because it's primary language is French
Hmm

the main idea is to do this as a project to learn what and what i need to complete a crm. As i learn the various languages i add to the overall project and upgrade it.

I know its crazy to go it alone, but so far its been a challenging and fun project. One that keeps shocking me on what i have done coming from 2-3 year ago where i didn't even know jack.

Now PHP was not in the charts for what i thought i needed to learn, but with discussions with some lads i met on linkedin, it seems adding it to my list would also be helpful.

Myplan was to shoot back to javascript then jquery then get in to understanding and using frameworks like reactjs, vuejs and then dabble back into nodejs and add python to the mix somewhere later.

In each case using what i have learnt to update the site, then when i feel i am at that level. then i move on to stage two

Since its not hosted yet, please see the code below.

A friend of mine advised that it was better to work on your scripts and styles in the html document, so you can see you errors and correct them, then once your done, move em to their respective files.

So far thats how i work on my projects.

ProgrammingRate My Test Site. by cj1080(op): 1:15pm On May 19, 2024
So i have been trying to learn javascript for a bit by watching tutorials, till finally i got tired of the "monkey see monkey do" approach on youtube and decided to give myself challenges to solve.

One of my biggest challenges with javascript was form submission of any kind.

For some reason i was coming up with errors, even if it was form submission to url or worst to another page, I had tried to use nodejs to do it earlier in the year.

But that i learnt the hard way that i didn't know what i was doing in node (particularly since i was using the "monkey see monkey do" approach on youtube.

So i paused told myself, go get a grasp on javascript first before you come back to you save point on node.

Thus was middle of march 2024.

I decide to say we dead here, let solve this problem once and for all. Let me get that good enough to do it in my sleep.

By first week of april, i had slightly solved the problem, and gotten a better understanding of using id's in html and document.getElement-- in javascript.

Then i noticed another problem, i had learnt html for a while and had just breezed through CSS just for the basic. As my goal for was javascript and then server side languages, Now that i understood form submission, my forms were still looking like a two year olds work on html.

So i decided, the heck, lets go back and under this design thing with CSS well.

During this time my wife had to go for a Myomectomy and i was with her in the hospital laptop and cracking Css to pass the time (more like to hide the tense of the surgey on my nerves).

I first started learning positioning schema's, using absolute and relative positioning.

.header {
position: relative;
top: -20px;
left: 5px;
}

.header > h1 {
position: absolute;
float: right;
right: 5px;
top: -20px;
}

I really loved how easy it allowed to position where you want and use z-index to overlap items. I felt so good till i resized the screen by mistake, then i saw my first problem.

They don't work well with small screens as you got to stroll to where things where on right.

To solve that i started exprimenting with margin, padding, border, height, width in all its ramification and examples. using things like

.header {
width: 100%;
height 40px;
padding-left: -120px
padding-top: 5px
bordor-top: 3px groove black;
box-shadow: 1px 5px 10px black;
}

Again i hit challenges with position on small screens and things not lining up.

then i finally stumbled on to
@media (max-width: 768px) {

}

And i was like finally, this could be where my solutions are. And like anyone who just learnt it, i started adding my styles to it.

Till i noticed that my screen maintained the same arrangement in smaller screens, which was had when you had a tiny usename and password form to fill.

Almost tired of looking for a solution and deciding what i knew was enough and to just go back to the javascript i de do.

I saw something about Css grids, ok this kinda looks like it might work.

.container {
display: grid;
grid-template-areas:
"header header"
"nav nav"
"main sidebar"
"footer footer";
grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr;
grid-template-rows: 2fr 1fr;
gap: 10px;


}

This is looking promising, can i use it on small screens, yes. Cool
Can i even adjust the columns to 1 on a small screens.

@media (max-width: 768px) {

.container {
grid-template-areas:
"header"
"nav"
"main"
"sidebar"
"footer";
grid-template-columns: 1fr;
}

}

Sweet. Sugar crunch.

I think i will use this for now going forward.

See the things i built with it below.

Next i want to take a look at Bootstrap an tailwind frameworks then jump back to javascripts hopeful nodejs and other serve side languages before end of june.

Wish me lucks guys as my final project is building a CRM ERP.

Aiit guys rate my build

CRM is too huge to develop by one single person except you are a coding genius. I am a Salesforce developer now and Salesforce is a CRM and even users have to write a whole lot of code to maintain and extend the functionalities it has.
Actual worked with an office where we used sales force, i can relate to it as an advance crm.

But i was thinking about doing something simpler, something not on the scale of Sales force but more on the scale of zoho or wakanda crm.

I saw something like it (browser based crms) being offered to a hospital, school and a big store, which was used to manage staff, accounts inventory, medical records and tickets. thus want to see if i can build something like it (not so advanced like salesforce.)

Oh an love the name @tensazangetsu20, guessing you are a really big Bleach fan

Hello Guys

I know you are doing well.

Just asking, anyone here worked on a (CRM) Customer Relationship Management Web App or an enterprise resource planning web app.

A typical example are Zoho Crm, quickbooks erp or your typical managemt systems (school management systems or hospital management systems) note web related (in browser).

I am currently working on developing one, but i want to speak someone who has done it or worked on it locally

If you don't mind, i did like to pick you brain on what languages you used for both frontend and backend.
PoliticsPHCN NERC Cap For Your Location. by cj1080(op): 5:17pm On May 17, 2024
So we all know that PHCN makes money from unmetered customers.

This i found out the hard way, even after following up with mails to CC Ikeja electric

Who blatantly told me that even if we do not have light, they have a right too bill me according to the NERC cap for my area.

Note:

I moved into the area, Around estate Bus stop, off Isheri Oshun road, Ijegun, Alimosho Lagos. last year may. and since i moved in i have had to run generators as electricity had decided that our area has covid and stays away.

Power can come for 2 mins in a day and then disappear for a week.

Sometimes it will show up for an evening but then the tranformer will take it from medium to smoke in 5 mins, then smoke nah light you go see for 5 hours.

In essence since last year, i have never seen full light that carries a fridge.

Still i kept paying their bill, till i decide to complain to ikejaElectric customercare email. about how bad the light is and how bad our transformer is.

Next thing i know i get a bill for 259 units of light for march 2024.

In my mind i was like, "come who use 259 units, how?, where the light?.

So i send them another mail and i get the below reply.

My Initial Mail



Hello Ikeja Electric

I trust this finds you well

Please you guys really need to look into our area as the electricity supply is just beyond poor.

I moved into here since last year and the light situation has not improved at all, some time we will only get electricity supply for 1 min in days.

I have complained about this and nothing was done about it before.

Now, not having seen light for close to a week now, i just received my bill and saw the below



KUDEYIBU / 01026

Your Bill for Mar 2024:



Tariff: D-Non MD

Rate: 31.24

Read Code: D

LAR:

PAR:

Consumption: 259.00

Curr. Charges: N8,698.00

Previous Balance: N4,598.11

Payment: N3,800.00

Adjustment: N0.00

Amt Due: N9,496.11

Due Date: 17 Apr 2024.



Note, even without receiving electricity i alway make sure bills are paid.

But why the increase if i do not have any electricity, what exactly was i billed for, knowing full well i didn't even use anywhere near 259 units of electricity through out late month.(worths now in april as i have only seen electricity last week friday and saturday less than 4 hours, on tuesday last week from 12:45 midnight till 4am,). Currently as i write this there has not been light since then.

Please look into both issues i raised.

Hopefully i can get a feedback soon

Regards



Seem below their reply


Dear Customer

Following our previous correspondence, please be informed that feedback from our team confirms that your account was billed according to NERC cap for your location.

Hence, the bills are appropriate.

Thank you for contacting


So please whats is the NERC cap for location and does it mean that it gives them a right to bill us even if there is no electricity

I have also asked the NERC what the cap for my area is, still waiting for a reply
ProgrammingApply For Jobs, Even If You Have Less Than 1 Year Experience by cj1080(op): 3:21pm On May 16, 2024
How does one go from learning the basics of programming language then start applying for positions in the space of

So let me share a bit of history about me.

I have worked in Naija as a business developer and sales person for a number of years, I have always had my eye on Programming for a long time, but never dabbled into it, till last year

I was seriously looking at growing my knowledge in IT, when an opportunity was presented to me last year to learn Devops.

Not knowing jack, i dived in and found i was actually understand what was being taught. the course was handled by a school called MyLandmarkTech, had over 900 students from across the world.

It was an eight months course covering Devop, Devops process from Linux, Bash scripting, Git, Marvin, Sonarqube, Nexus, Jenkins, Terraform, Docker, Kubernettes, Ansible, Grafana, Kops8 etc.

One might say quite a lot

After finishing some classes and trying to learn(try being the operative word), i heard some of my course mates had already started getting jobs, not to be out done. I asked a few friend how they did it and created a new linkedin page and started applying for positions.

Now through out the times i applied and did a few interviews with recruiters and a couple of thing kept coming up i could not answer. Like the below.

"Lack of Experience", "How long have you used", " Whats you understanding of new technologies", "how does your team work with (git, jira, slack-etc).", "what challenges did you solve at your office or for your clients".

Quickly enough i started to understand that i was not up to par with some of what these guys were looking for, which was quite disappointing going through an interviews and not being able to answer most questions.

Fortunately, one recruiter from ireland actually followed up with me and start giving advise on what i needed to do to upgrade, and were to focus.

He explained that he just left a factory job 2 years back to purse a career in tech, thus he understood where i was coming from and how the industry treats people who have the basics and are trying to act like they know way more.

His advise is one reason i an trying to learn front and backend development, based on the current raising trends in web related applications

Why do i bring this story up.

Do not underestimate your little knowledge.

If you can write a language and only have the basic knowledge (6 months to 2 years of experience) to complete 1 or 2 personal or major projects.

Do not let it stop you from applying for an international position on what you have learnt.

When given the opportunity, speak proudly and passionately of what you have done, your journey so far.

Exactly the point I've worked in companies who use both, Node for SSR application to interface with their middleware in Java, these conversations of nodejs vs Java are done with, it's all bout business value. Nairaland should have gone past these kind of conversations.
I find out one funny thing about the programming section on Nairaland, people just have beef with what other peoples post for no reason.

This is really making it opic for people who would want to post challenges or request solutions, thus why it feels like the section is just stagnant with people posting about unrelated maters.

We really should not always jump to berate and shutdown people who post with real situations, else how does this section become naija's own stackoverflow.

If you are interested in improving the site in whatever way you can, I'll send you the link to the Github repo.

I'm planning on building a simple Ecommerce website next. It would be more complex than this blog I built, as I attempt to push my skills further.
Wow, you guys take it to another level.

My brother you tried, for your first Django site, guessing you are more of backend person rather than frontend, thus why the design leaves more to be done.

But from what i see, the site doesn't seem to have any logic to aside from a login for users to access the content.

So my comments.

Yes the design leave more to be done, but you are on a track.

Keep at what what you want to achieve, keep fine tuning and adding features.
Once you are done, then you can go back a plug in css design features ( but make sure you id, class and name you html tags for those,).

keep up the good work dear and don't let the comments make you feel bad, just see them as a challenge to do better.

If you are open to bounce ideas on css and javascript to add to this, i am open to assist

So the group confirms true.

I was allowed on a zoom call with members of the group on friday and also on 2 members interviews for a Senior Devops position and a cyber security position both in The US.

So far what I saw was quite impressive and not a scam.

Let me put it this way, these guys are advanced.

And I have decide to find means to join the group later.

Why later.

Most people on this group are in the states or Canada.

The ones getting the jobs on the group are those in the states or Canada.

My conclusion, it seems massive experience in an area in tech was not required to get a job with the help of the group. also just living in the Us or canada seriously enhances your chances of getting a job.

First you're forking confused hoping from one stack to another



DevOps is not entry level
I had this mindset before, and i would have answered you with that annoying mindset.

But lad, i won't.

You know why.

Maybe you are comfortable where you are

Maybe you work with the principle that what you know can get get you what you want

Or may be you feel what i am doing is not the right way according to you standards.

But if you have been where i have been and seen what people are doing to succeed.

You will quickly learn that in life, there are no straight parts to success, any skill that will help you get ahead, you learn it and try.

So i'm not sorry if my sense of direction offends you, if i choose to jump from Devops to Node, python and any other language i like, is souly up to me.

If any of them land me an in in a tech firm, then hooray, as i know if i doesn t and i come here and mention that it does. likely you will be one of the first to ask me how i did it Lady.
CareerCommunity: Get Answers To Your Work Related Tasks by cj1080(op): 11:23am On Feb 18, 2024
We all have faced challenges at work.

A task given, and a 24-48 hour dead line, yet you do not even know how to begin with the task.

A Challenge to solve and your job or position is on the line, if you do not solve it

Things like the above.

As we all know, sometimes, you might have mentors at your workspace you can reach out for guidance.

Most dont have anyone, only those seeking to step in when they fail or those who will thwart their efforts.

This, try to help when you can

I believe it's time we have a community of like minds , who can give advise, direction on how to proceed.

As almost most tasks or challenges in our work space, have been faced by someone at sometimes before in another workspace or position.

So here are the rules

Leave your office name our of the task or challenge you want to share

Be cordial with anyone attempting to help you

Give respect to all who answers your task or challenge.

And no bad mouthing others.

airsaylongcome:
About the bolded, trust me you can make out that time. Assuming you work an 8-5, you can maximize your after-work hours to make up those two weeks (I’m approximating 2 weeks to be 5 days of 8 hours each day). Set aside at least 2 hours everyday for study/hands-on. Take weekends and maximize your Saturdays to review all you studied during the week. Have a dedicated note book with a clearly written study plan. I’m talking writing out what you want to study daily. While studying, take notes that you review on the weekend. Study study study. Trust me e go pay. Without doubt. As an older “student”, me I know it is harder studying now than 20 years ago when the brain was younger and no “adult problems” (rent, NEPA bill, family wahala). Use study aids. I have post-it notes all over my wall at home. Different coloured ones for different topics. Gum them everywhere and have a look at them regularly. The “thing” go enter by force. Watch YouTube channels that talk about devops, go on Reddit and follow devops subreddits. Surround yourself with the material everywhere until e enter. When the results start to dey come na you go dey run. I wish you all the best
Thanks so much for the update , I am actually doing a bit of this, as after most work days between 11pm and 12:30pm, i spend time learning and taking notes.

I actually take a lot of notes, this has been really helpful for me. as i can easily fall back to the notes when i am not directly infront of the system.

I use Keep to write and store my so i can access them on the go.

I still havent developed a study plan for my learning yet, but i kind of look at my learning as "learning to solve a problem". Thus, currently my reason to learn is to develop web apps using html css, javascript and node.(example apps are an inventory management system or an erp system for my office.

Then use Devop to automate and streamline the process and keeping and managing the apps in the cloud.

This has been my drive since, so i believe i will have to develop a study plan around this.

ProgrammingAre There Groups That Help Those In Tech Get Remote Jobs. by cj1080(op): 3:46pm On Feb 12, 2024
I have been learning Devops since early 2023, and just started frontend and a bit of backend this year.

Recently i got talking to a fellow Devops trainee, (some context we both started the training together last year, he is in Canada).
He told me he had gotten a job in December last year, working hybrid for a firm in Canada (Vancouver)-(Devops Engineer - 100k annual with benefits), I was happy for him.

Then he explained he just got a second job working remote in the Us (Atlanta to be precise)-(backend developer. 75k annual with benefits)

The shocking part is he is planning on doing the two jobs together, and get this, i know he his coverage on devops is at entry level, and his programming skills are literally html, css and javascript (basic level)

I had to ask how he did it.

He explained that he paid to joint a couple of whatsapp and telegram groups that in his words "guide" people on how to get tech jobs.

He showed me one of the whatsapp group and their process of "guiding", for me this was really shocking.

My takeaway i got from what he showed.

A. Being in the US/Canada is a big plus (particularly for interviews)
B. Having indept background in tech is not a must (Its a plus though) as candidates were literally "guided" through.

This has increase my drive to grow my knowledge, as there are people on these i saw that i know that even at my level i know 2X better than they.

Still, i have to ask, do any of you know of any groups like these that currently operational in Nigeria or other places?

Hi there

Just to understand you

Are you talking about those working in tech and making over 600k a month, or those outside of tech.

Resilience is all there is to this tech thing.

I really enjoy reading things like this, pushing forward in the face of adversities.

I started similar journey last year Sept.

I use kodekloud in my case

I would continue to use them till next year when I plan to migrate to ACloudGuru.

I’m a software engineer by the day, so it’s more or less trying to add another medal to my shoulder.

Well done chief!
I love hearing this.

Acloudguru was almost my first choice, till I went with Landmark tech

Still learning.

Currently adding some side languages to what to my devops course, as I noticed that a lot of devops has to do with the backend and for me I feel understanding some of the languages that one would be using the devops process with would also be helpful.

So I used the Christmas and few hours over the weekend of January to try to understand bits of html, Css, javascript.

Currently dabbling into Nodejs now for backend,(Omo node hard oh).

Men, it's been hard finding time to do all this, with work and family time.

Sometimes I wish I had 2 weeks straight of free time, so I could just go though all i need todo. But that won't happen anytime soon. So for now it's bit by bit.

But l, still @halmat, keep up the good work and journey hard to your dreams

Let's start with the AC compressor.
Is it OEM or has been changed?
I am not sure if it's an OEM.

But I remember I had it changed sometime in December last year.

Reason (the same vibration thingy).

My mechanic then, thought it might help to get a low powered compressor, so I had it changed

Check her engine valve setting.
Checked, sometime earlier this year.

Still kept vibrating

I also had about 3 coils changed, just to check if that was the problem as two of them got bad during and incident on airport road from Ikeja

My fans suddenly stopped work and the engine started over heating. Fortunately it was raining heavily that morning so I gunnned it from mm1 passed mm2.heading to Ajao estate.

It seems a towing van noticed what was wrong, as he literally following me all the way to my office hoping that I would just breakdown there, but God pass am, as I got to the office safe.

Still I ended up burning two coils and some other stuff that cost me an arm and leg to fix and change.

Even after all that the vibrations still remained

Ok so after about 3 mechanic

I finally found one that seems to know what he is doing

He asked me if I have ever worked on the injector or the airflow meter, of which I said no.

He said let him try something. That we will check for a while to see what happens.

First he increased the rpm(literally didn't know that it could be done).

The car ran smoothly for about two days even with the ac.

Then it went back to vibrating as the rpm dropped again.

Told the mechanic, and he said he will check the injector and the airflow meter.

He first checked and cleaned the airflow meter.

Things worked

Vibration stopped

For about two weeks, then it went back to vibrating.

Next, he decide to look at the injector,
he cleaned out the injector and took it apart.

Finally reassembled it and

So far the vibration have reduced again.

So I am on watch mode for now to see how it goes.

I will update next week
ProgrammingRe: How I Scrape Emails Using Only Google by cj1080(op): 11:48am On Nov 26, 2023
For for the first step to getting the emails you see on the page when you enter the above search query on Google.

Note you need a PC to do this

If you are using chrome, install email hunter extension or any email on page extractor.

Now respect your search and you will notice the emails appear on each result google offers for the below.

site:linkedin.com "Lagos" AND "CEO" AND "@gmail.com"

Now click on your email hunter extension and notice every email on the page has been extracted.

Now let go one more step ahead.

You will notice google only give you 10 results per search

You need to increase that number to 100.

Click on search options on your google page and increase it from 10-100.

Now email hunter will extract 100 emails as against 10.

All you need to do at this point is go to the next page on your google search, wait 2 seconds for email hunter to extract the emails there and go to the next page

Rinse and repeat

Nice one chief, keep going & i hope you make it through.

I paid for Devops course one time but too tired from work to even continue, kind of regret it but will still go back in the future. As one grows older, paying for courses or resources will be easy but finding time is extremely hard. Paid for so many courses on Udemy that I left hanging.
Bruv

Totally get this

Omo I had to really task myself to find time to practice what I was thought in class.

It was never easy finding that time, particularly at work, even at home, I still come back from work and handle responsibility with my wife and fam then from eleven till 1am I fight sleep and keep practicing.

But truly, I am able to it because I actually like it.

You got to find the time dear, even if it's to start and do 10mins, and stop for the day.

I found each time I push my self to start and only do 10-15mins of training a day.

I end up doing way more.

Just give it a try
ProgrammingHow I Scrape Emails Using Only Google by cj1080(op): 12:16pm On Nov 23, 2023
So mmm

I learnt this a while back and have been using it for email marketing for bit.

I remember the good old days when i use to see email extractors and different softwares that extracted data from google.
I had the opportunity to use quite a couple of them from Email extractor to some over 900 tools i found using google blackhatforum to locate.

Then most of those cracked softwares became hard to find or even pay for. which lead me to look for alternatives means. Lo, i stumbled upon google dorks.

What is google dorks, its a set of search parameters that help you locate stuff on google quicker and better.

So how do you use google dorks to find emails.

See my process below

Say i am looking for a list of Nigerian CEO email addresses on linkedin, what do i type in google

Some of you would enter just that "Nigerian CEO email addresses"

For me it would be

site:linkedin.com "Lagos" AND "CEO" AND "@gmail.com"

Enter the above into google and let me know what you see. (if you get a google needs to autheticate who you are, just go through the process and it will show the results)

Your results should show you email address in each entry.

Note: you should be presented with a few challenges by the time you scroll down

A. How do i extract the emails without typing it or copy pasting each one
B. How do i get more entries on the page
C. How do i get more email address other than @gmail.com
D. How do i get the names of the email users
And so on and so on.

I will answer A-C in my next post.

I will also try to so=how you how you can niche down to get the emails for people of a particular niche.

Does this work for phone numbers, technically yes.
