I picked up python along with c#.net (about a year now)..got bored with c# dropped it..learnt more about pythonic web framework(cherrypy,django).etc..chose django..picked up php last month right now building a web app that uses jquery for the front end and php for the back end..built my first desktop gui app with python last year but never had time to complete it..a shame....

musKeeto: Bro, the thing tire me..

Ooman redefines shallowness...

booqee: Its only nairaland dat i've seen dat shows dat 404 something. Sometimes i see 502 nginx bad gateway..worefa dat means sef.

It means Seun has not yet settled his oga at the top..

truthislight: Keep quite!
You talk as though he is your next door neighbour.

Hypocrite!

Seen,ignored...

Thanks for the intro,javanian...I'd certainly love to work with flex,along with mobile jquery swatches and kivy python native app development for touch devices...

lordZOUGA: well that's what most web developers do. I have seen them request for a software that will help them write php or their ruby codes to desktop apps and its mostly because the developer started with "soft" languages and therefore considers learning a lower level language mundane.
.
.
oh yeah, Relax! is cool. Thanks!

Hehe..Those programmers are plain-azz lazy..They are the type of programmers who are afraid of expanding and staying relevent..
I have a friend who is not even willing to think beyond vb.net even when i showed him its limitations...
I believe that programming is always on a trend shift and if you dont move with it..man,you go extinct like the dinos...
Some years ago ,ruby was the thing..along comes php and that was the new craze ..
I believe in being dynamic and knowing a little bit of stuff even in fields i do not yet work with and not shrinking away from challenges..

lordZOUGA: but just know that if you don't learn how to write desktop apps as a beginner and somehow convince yourself that you will learn later. believe me, later you will start looking for a php interpreter that will make your php codes work on desktop or you will start trying to convince people(like the op is doing) to believe that desktop apps are useless.

Php to program desktop apps!..you got me cracking up bro!lol...Well,as a beginner after learning html,css,js,
I went full time into python building desktop apps and stuff...now i build web apps with python too...
Dont get me wrong,i am not against learning how to build desktop apps..it introduces you to concepts like callbacks,slots,triggers,practical OOP,socks,xml threading/processing and lots of stuff,which in turn complements and aids web app development learning...
By the way,saw your app Relax! Good piece of work..

zebudaya: God Bless you Bro, that's all I'm saying. This is an incomplete list of kids who graduated from Y combinator http://yclist.com/ Most of them created web apps. A Nigerian kid who spends time learning C is not going to find work with Mozilla, Apple or the government. They are better off learning script languages and some HTML, CSS, Jquery, Javascript, Photoshop and Illustrator, and how to write apps for Android, Blackberry, IOS & Windows Phone When they get done with these, they can learn C if they need to. That's the easier route.

These folks are encouraging new programmers to learn C , so they can build desktop apps, where in Naija? Naija that dudes who make 19,000 Naira a month own Blackberries and are eager to download apps?



http://webtoolkit.eu is nice, but not very elegant, I just had an idea and made this, this afternoon. http://mybeautifulnaija.tumblr.com/ Not from scratch of course, but If I invest a few hours, I can customize the front end to my liking especially with CSS and Jquery. It's going to be as functional as the webtoolkit.eu site, but look better. As long as its functional. Everything is Judged by how it looks. C does not have enough libraries & support for building websites, and you know that.

Yeah..I realised that to make very relevant and multi-purpose desktop apps with c,c or even python takes time,energy and a very good team of programmers(you can't code it all duh..) if you intend on making a very unique and sought-after app that is not already in existence...
Web apps are in comparison easier to create,do not need to be über unique("e.g for desktop apps,why pay some one to write a calculating software that calculates your net profit,expenses,gross profit,uploads it to a database etc,when all you need to do is download an already existing open source app,but in web apps ,you've got to meet specifications already laid out.eg ui,layout,server behaviour.etc
I respect desktop apps though..very useful,but not beginner inclined...

My opinion..I disagree with zebudaya's concept of compiled languages usage dying out.For example,C++ is good for writing general purpose apps across a wide range of devices.
The problems with working with c++ for beginners is,you do not get many jobs on a regular basis and you are chained to a salary but when that paycheck comes,it's gonna be big..There is definitely no end in sight for desktop app development.
In summary,as a beginner,you may stick with your web app development but always try to diversify..

Well..i think the dude is trying to vent..jimmy swaggart was stripped of his position then..

Beretta92: the guy was/is a real hypocrite.he now runs a small,malicious ministry with his son.BTW,@creatrixity,are u agnostic? Just curious.

was..now rather deist by the way..In other words there is a central body of creative energy called God not represented by this worlds religions..
And p.s he/it doesnt give a damn about humans and their petty affairs...
And why do you think jimmy swaggart runs a malicicious ministry..
The only thing i see him do is sing christian songs

Segeggs: The generals of BABYLON the GREAT

Sharrapp!..As if your murderous jw cult is any better...

Beretta92: Tell us about jimmy swaggart,peter poppof,jim bakker,william branham,A.A. Allen, and d racist charles f. Parham.

Hehe...But as for jimmy swaggart,pity the man na..ko-nji na bastard!

lordZOUGA: an app that can tell me when NEPA wants to cut the power or when they want to restore it.

Lol..very useful and practical in Naija..

G'bye mait..hehe,like really..

rhymz: At the risk of sounding insulting and rude, I must say this: besides the happy-feel good, emotional sermon of their pastors that only discuss the surface of Christianity, most Christians are ignorant of the historicity of their religion. They all think it is some heavenly divine ish that spread through meekness and mere GOD-SPELs. May be you should read a little about the destructions christians wrecked especially against people they call pagans, heathens, idol worshipers, dissidents and so on. . .how do you think the illuminati group came about? You realy need to open your eyes there, if realy you are interested in know a about christian history as written from an unbiased perspective, I could send you couple of books, all you need to do is drop your email.

Conspiracy theories..smh..

SimonAndal: ILLUMATI WOMAN MISS. LIKE OBAMA SOUL MICROCHIP. IN THE LAST DAYS SHE WILL EARTH SOUL LIFE WITH 666 AND BEAST MARK. BEAUTIFUL SEXY THING LIKE THIS IN FIRE OF LOVE ORE. BEWARE LIKE SERPANT OF GOD.

But,seriously Simon Añål ,the trolling is getting boring...

Logicboy03: Why are you so judgemental?

You dont know my ideas (not plans) about the north or if I have even lived in the north.


So keep your advice to yourself.

Not again..you are the one being judgemental here by accusing me of being judgemental while i had no such intention in mind..look,i am not here to be troublesome..
Ideas are nothing without data...

Logicboy03: The only thing that can affect muslims in the north is a strong president. One that bans their sharia law to oblivion. One secular constitution for Nigeria.

I also have some ideas for the north but I wont share it here.

Well,before you start making plans for the north go there ,will you?
Well,in the north religion defines everything..for instance,in the hausa language,almost every sentence is punctuated with allah...
In the north ,these malo folks are basically ok and certainly more helpful than most 'christian' people...
You'd have to be a genius to come up with a plan that carries out your goals all the while without tripping their mental defence mechanisms..

..It gets boring,smh...

alaric saltzman: New riddles:
1. She awakes, I touch her and she spreads her legs apart. We are both nervous but I continue. Finally the white liquid comes. What happened?

2. The first 2 letters of this English word refer to a male, the first three refer to a female, the first 4 to a great man and the whole word is a great woman. What is the word?

3. Think of words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.

4. I never was, am always to be. No one ever saw me, nor ever will. And yet I am the confidence of all, To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball. What am I?

5. I am a seven letter word, you read me daily. Letters 567 increase every year. The 3rd and 4th letters are the same and my 325 letters cover about 70% of the world. What am I?

Answer to the first...
You milked a heifer,dummy!

In Nigerian parlance
E be like sey you don dey inhale purple flowers...

^^^na madt guys full here o..lol!

Logicboy03: Of course, stabbing is not the MO of Nigerians. They prefer ALUU style beatings, Acid throwing and bombing.

We all know how your fundamentalist brothers behave.First is to accuse the atheist that makes the mistake of speaking out as a demon/witch and the next is to exorcise by ALUU style beatings.

Well..depends on where you voice out your beliefs ..illiteracy/fundamentalism/superstition will always take it's toll on the brain of Nigerian religious people...
Oh..and try not to be poor and Godless..by definition,a nigerian witch is a poor,wicked person,take note of the 'poor'...i personally do not believe in blaming misfortunes on some poor widow..
I wish you well if you relocate to Nigeria!

Logicboy03: You christians lie like mad people! When did I make that claim in bold? I wa talking about a situation in Lodon.

Most of you who didnt know what or who an atheist is when I first came to Nairaland.When Paslm 14;1 was flying up and down. All atheists are evil fools. No, Nigeria is tolerant of atheists.


Abeg. You guys make me sick

You,my friend,is a fine example of a fellow with a complex,who said he almost got stabbed by black peeps for being atheist and also implying he will get the same treatment in Nigeria...
Oga,chillax..na discussion ,no be fight..

musKeeto: Lol, what beliefs do atheists practice?

My Sunda has been made. Thanks guys..

Ask logicboy o,muskeeto!

Permit me to butt in..
Logicboy,you claims that atheists get stabbed in Naija are purely "delusional flights of fancy"..
When I was 8 years old,I knew a Man in our estate who was an atheist-agnost,and guess what,i preferred conversing with him than most religious people i knew,he got me thinking back then,why must we have 4 churches and 2 mosques in my area and only 1 sachet water factory,why not 4 sachet water factories and 2 churches/mosques?
in his family he had people from two religions{islam and christianity} and his wife was an mfm member...No one attacked him...
Logicboy stop presenting assumptions as facts!!

I like both ideas so i fuse them using jquery(pc only for now,mobile later#touchscreen's only)..my page displays a list of pages and onclick the clicked page shows up immediately and you can hide it to display other pages..but only glitch here is that it will be loaded along with page again on mobile..

Hehehe...another manufactured papal "sign"...what about st.patricks purgatory and other frauds..
Anyway,lightning is just a normal natural phenomenom,with those high steeples and what not...
And is supposed to mean something special?

I concur a 100 percent billyonaire..i went into research about nicola tesla's works and man,was that a genius..i was discussing his work on wireless electricity with a friend,he did not believe wireless electricity can be exemplified..i tried to show him how electricity can be transmitted wirelessly by changing its electrical frequencies..
You can read about it here.
