DIPXOID:
Great. Does everyone come up with their project idea or it's a team stuff?

It depends on what your instructor wants. The JavaScript guys did group projects while we did individual projects. They also choose topics for you.

Ok guys. Bootcamp ended today. The presentations were WOW. Now the next wait begins....

WilBak:
wow... So they took in half of the class, that's like 25 outta 50. That's a good number if you ask me, unlike picking just 5people and sending 45people home. #MyOpinion

That was knockout stage 1. We just started week 2. Doing our projects currently. Next knockout is on Friday this week

WilBak:
The homestudy test is meant to start today... and usually applications for a new class should start like today too. I guess there's a change... Oops! today aint over yet. btw, what's up class VIII boot campers, how did it go?

Half the class was sent home

Day 2 has been awesome. Some git tutorials, staging and commit files, creating repositories, etc and more of ruby #a weird language it is

I am definitely a late comer. But I am happy I got into the boot camp.

Yaaaaay!

The system specs though.

Guys, get one for your girl friend. It's Important

Ladies please, what is this one called?

owuzo:
The Mandela question tho, is it for real? or just typo

Lol. my smartphone predicting words. sorry about that.

had my interview today. the questions were quite straightforward
what do you know about Mandela? Tell us about your programming experience, if any? what programming activity have you been doing lately? Why do you want to get into Andela? Do you know why its a four year program?

Questions might differ though.

Almost missed my IV. Yohooo. Interview at last, after three Applications. wooow.



Dancing girinya.

Okay. Just did the deed.

But when will they grade. Couldn't see the grades


Questions were quite cool but a bit tricky for a beginner though.

Pebcak:
thats not true Shekau is still a terrorist and US will never celebrate a terrorist

even if they ban them it is their choice they should stay home and fix nigeria I dont know why we are making it a big deal
what if our leader fix nigeria and make it a country for people to visit then we too can do shakara that we dont want some people

people want to visit dubai today and they have the rights to deny anybody visit to their country

Nigeria once denied US secretary of state visit to nigeria so its not a big deal

Have you forgotten they put him on the front page of Time as an influential figure?

Please what is exam professor ....
Is that the home study test link?

Still waiting....

Even if this were true, whic i doubt, It only shows how The USA lacks a sense of moral judgment. They praise Shekau and Ban law abiding citizens from entering their country. I guess Shekau,if he is alive can stroll freely in and out of the USA with his ID hanging on his Neck. This will tell the sane people that America by no means is against terrorism but greedily sap any country in their hold. Hypo**crites**

Mtcheeeeeew!!

WilBak:
Make we kuku talk am for pigin english... Abeg na who don see mail from Andela fa?

I no even see link for home study this time sef

what's happening?

Any body gotten a mail?

Pato5:
5. float gpa;//declares the variable "gpa" of type floating point
6. gpa=0;//initialize the value to zero

this might work fine for you at this point because you are working with a program that does not require a high degree of accuracy. avoid declaring a variable as a float and then initializing it with an int if you do indeed delve into embedded systems like you propose to. it could produce rickety software

my 1cent

funny question, funny replies.


please tell us where exactly you have problems so we can help you learn. copying and pasting code will by no means help you.

Like any other occupation, the longer you do software development, the more you learn. Often, much of the wisdom one accumulates over time comes from learning the hard way, through trial and error. Other times, though, those who’ve come before you will save you some time (and pain) by imparting the lessons they themselves have learned over the years. One of the good ways to do that is through proverbs, that is, simple sayings that convey a truth, usually based on experience. A Github (https://github.com/AntJanus/programmers-proverbs) repository created last year called Programmer’s Proverbs has been collecting these short sayings from developers.

1.One thing should never do more than one thing.

2.What happens in Git stays in Git

3. Don't commit on master when drunk.

4.Debugging becomes significantly easier if you first admit that you are the problem.

5.Simpler code has less bugs

6.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day. Teach a programmer to debug and he can do his work for a life time.

7.A foreach loop avoided is a CPU cycle earned.

8.Absence is beauty, in error logs.

9.Testing is easier than debugging.

10. The best code is no code at all.

11. Figure out your data structures, and the code will follow.

This is a nice idea. I am a new linux (ubuntu 14.04) user. It will be a good idea to get help from home(Nigeria). Please keep the list coming


I had problem playing videos and audio when I installed ubuntu and i came accross this commands that helped solve my proble

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

this command installed a whole bunch of plugins for me.

Hmmm.......watching to see how he plays his cards, if he fvcks up, we vote him out, power has returned to the masses now, so if he likes let him eat and dine with demons and devils, a day of rekoning will surely come and like what has happened to PDP, he will be shown the way out.....l hope he learns from all the brouhahaha of PDP.......

let's hope he allows a free and fair election like the present leader has done.

problem is how is he gonna combine boot camp and work?

With GMB - Maximum Security Guaranteed

GMB's brothers are killing my people back at home and you are here dreaming about security when he rules. He's not getting a single vote in Benue.

I applied late for class VI and was not picked. so I applied for class VII with a different email address. March 11th, I got two mails to the two different accounts. one regret and on the other a link for home study. So what I think is this: If you applied for both classes with Same email address, its likely you got a regret mail for the previous class, that is VI, but I think that may also hamper your chances for the next class since they consider mail addresses and not names.
