Na Dennis na...he built things that were used to build most of the things we see today

Mac came from Unix
Linux from Unix

Android is also linux.....leading back to Unix


C++ from C
Even cpython the standard implementation of python is written in C

what was ur take when the present administration was politicizing bokoharam less than a yr ago

i've never been on any side....why would i support people or parties that don't give a shit about we the masses...when you see the scene of a bomb blast you'll curse all those that created, politicized and made boko haram escalate to this stage

To be fair to this administration, the rate of bomb blast's has reduced compared to the former administration...where i stay, the tension in the air has reduced also

sinequanon:
Good points, both. I think it ought to be six of one, half a dozen of the other.

It would be worth having a high level idea of what MVC is, and just have a go at it, without tearing yourself apart over it. The real learning comes when you try to amend your code, and find it awkward. Then you will automatically start to think of better ways you could have done things, and you will find that they fit into, and give shape to, your nebulous understanding of MVC. But it is worth having that nebulous understanding upfront.

When you try to scale projects (make them larger), or maintain them, a number of concepts that would otherwise appear unnecessary, become critical. It runs the gamut from good error handling and sensible error messages, through separation of concerns (modularity), and documentation. Novices often skimp on these concepts, until they are given the task of fixing a bug or upgrading code. Then they discover that it would have been so much easier "if only".

One junior programmer I was mentoring never got the hang of named constants.

Why say BOILING_POINT_OF_WATER = 100;

then

temperature = BOILING_POINT_OF_WATER;

Why not just temperature = 100;

The dude just kept getting it "wrong". Even when fixing code, he would NOT check to see if a literal had been initialized. You can't really blame him. His intuition was fine. He only lacked experience.

What would fix that? Give him a badly written project to amend, full of statements like:

temperature = 100;
volume = 100;
pressure = 100;

Say that some (not all) of the volume = 100 statements (and there are many of them) arise because volume is equal to maximum value of flask. Tell him that he has to amend the whole project because maximum volume of flask has changed to 120. (Software comes with a hardware kit, and the new kit has bigger flasks).

Even if he goes through the entire project with a text search for "100", how will he be sure when the 100 refers to a maximum volume of flask, and not an initial volume of sand, or a final volume of acid, or even a temperature or pressure (f = 100 ). He would have to understand what was in the original programmer's mind, or read the entire project specification. If he didn't write the code himself initially, or if he couldn't remember because he wrote it so long ago, the upgrade becomes a major task.

But, if the various "100s" had been given their respective literals to begin with, the upgrade would simply be a matter of changing

MAX_FLASK_VOLUME = 100;
to
MAX_FLASK_VOLUME = 120;

Then the concept of named literals sticks. That is how experience can help.

well said

bro can u gv me ur number

can't drop my number on a public forum....find me on telegram @danidee10, i wonder why nairaland dosen't have pm

The white one's look better but there's no disputing the fact that the yellow ones are beautiful (especially the ones in abj)....notwithstanding i'm seen some foreign countries that also use yellow street lights too

Txonyi:
sounds like goodnews to me
body language oya come and defeat them technically like you did bokoharam

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
just 8 months in office o, bubu should take credit for this pipeline bombing, it started again in his administration

So you're rejoicing that innocent people died....you're so pathetic and wicked....smh just read what you typed again mtchewwwwwwwwwww

Believe me guys this is nothing compared to what happens in Madonna university

kulobyno:
It's only myopic sex starved perverts that will fall for the cheap scam

Na u come dey straff everyday nw....what concerns sex with the post sef

I agree with you but nairaland is not in anyway like stackoverflow....but this section can be improved if the mods are more active in scrapping useless topics and forcing users to ask detailed questions.... Try asking a silly question on SO it will immediately get download and be closed....asap

nikkiking:
I no even get ur time

Clap for ya sef

Naughtysite:
God, i thank you for creating Igbo women.

Mr Abdallah don snatch this one..

So u don't thank him for creating other women....smh for u

nikkiking:
Am proud of my state...... what a beautiful princess .

It's people like u that are against one nigeria....I'm very sure u typed this immediately u saw ur state without reading the entire post

The main truth is dat crime can never end like this....why not address the main causes of crime instead of looking for more people to fight it....nt against her tho

STILESGANG:
This are the kind of pussyy I adore,The big and swollen type.

R u actually serious

ChinenyeN:
MVC is not an advanced skill. It's simply a paradigm, just as OOP is a paradigm. You do not have to know OOP to program in PHP, but you can always learn OOP and PHP together. The same way one can learn MVC while also learning PHP.

I don't agree it's really advanced for a beginner....i remember when I tried out codeigniter I couldn't really see the advantage it just seem like a longer and more tedious way of doing something I could easily do with out the nonsense MVC....but let write code and grow then he will begin to see that some things are missing then he can start seeing the reason behind MVC frameworks in the first place

cr80vity:
please I learnt mysql and nt mysqli, shld i go bk to learn mysqli nd nt practice with mysql cux it seems me knowing d mysql is waste

Yes as hard and dissappointing it might seem yes you have to go back and learn mysqli or pdo...mysql is nw outdated and is going to be phased out In the near future cuz it's nw insecure and lacks some features in pdo n mysqli....in my advice learn pdo cuz it supports more databases than mysqli though it's harder to grok the syntax, mysqli only supports mysql and Maria db (WTF is maria db )...but the goodnews is that ur mysql knowledge will be very helpful as u're basically doing the same thing

DanielTheGeek:
After unfollowing this topic, why are you disturbing me?? lol, Just kidding

**Web design is just building the visual interface of a website...It would be bad navigating to a website and all you see are files and folders!!
So web designers use CSS or CSS preprocessors and HTML to build and style a web page!

**Web developers..hmmm, Designers are also developers..
But i guess you mean the Web Programmers..

Web Programmers work on web page interactions, Back end development e,t,c

**Note HTML & CSS aren't Programming languages, so Web Designers aren't programmers

You can't just look at a website and know what they used in building their platform (Maybe if you're a Wizard ) because what you see when you're looking at that website is just HTML and CSS. Don't get me wrong: There are tools for PC, MAC, Linux e.t.c, that will help you scan a site and detect the frameworks used..
So what you should be looking for are the tools that'll help you find the Frame work that site is using!
E.g: I heard Jumia was built on Yii or so..I'm not sure

Wappalyser is the tool you're looking for....most Job adverts in nigeria are just silly, Imagine having experience with html, css, python, vb and java.....WTF where's the relation between them......vb

Don't mvc anything....u have to understand and practice php before you know and can see the advantages of mvc...I'll suggest you build a simple blog...should have articles, article categories and comments just keep it simple...as a self taught programmer I feel things stick more when u learn them when needed not abstractly....Goodluck n make sure u use pdo or mysqli no mixi mixi

Thunder give u belle dia

Go with the future and use python 3 it's even easier and most critical libraries and frameworks have been ported over

What have their governors done about it despite the huge amount of money they collect as budget....this is the same problem with the SE their leaders have looted and destroyed them and they're blaming nigeria....do something for urself instead of playing the blame game

akp202:
but right now nigeria is on d verge of breaking up....all thanks to buhari

And ur so called leaders looting nigeria now will do the same to the new country u crave

Didn't watch but it reminds me of my turkey that nearly raped one fowl...the fowl for die if not for me

MXrep:
Lol, Enugu is more than 5 years ahead of Lag in this

and you're proud of enugu being ahead in police cars....smh btw i've never been to enugu but i'm very sure lagos is far ahead as a city

i see dumb people everywhere....you guys should be ashamed of yourself arguing and calling yourself names over police car......one of the reason why Nigeria is in the condition it is today is cause of the dumbness of the masses (some of the masses)

Why should we even be celebrating having police cars...it's suppose to be a necessity not an achievement

That's how one person will come and build one road and start showing documentary on TV

silvermania:
Imagine keeping thier virginity for the right man
. And now yeye harm robber took it chai

It will be so painful ehn

dat girl behind him...will be like 'what is dis one even singing sef'

i Didn't see two names there....Enyeama and Bentaleb

But that's my dream to work remotely...i don't want my whole life to be one big routine just like school...Go to work monday to fridays rest on saturdays, church of sundays.....and the cycle continues till you find way to marry born children, retire live on pension and other small businesses you created while working and finally kpai

I don't just think working in a standard office is exciting....working from home you get to spend time with your kids n family
You can just take a break and decide to just chill (Your Boss won't know about it)
You can work throughout the night and sleep during the day (I find myself achieving more things at night when there is less distraction )
You could go on a short vacation (If it's a personal business and the business has gotten to the stage where it can stand on it's feet)
