akinjuly77: Hi, No one is deceiving anyone here. If you are interested in taking a looking at my clients case studies. You can contact me
I understand you feel insecure that the model will contact me instead of you right? That does not mean you should say am deceiving him, can you tell me where have deceived you before?
I think you miss understand me, Why are you replying a client who asked me a question? You should just go and create your thread and deal with your clients there, not disturbing my clients here. My 1 cent
trytillmake: I am interested and will like to know yr plans,i do angular js,c# mvc also build hybrid mobile apps. For fun I am part time producer, i do music videos also part time artist.
omokoladejames: Bro I'm actually working at a startup,hence my new job role.
It's actually a broad concept but basically my role is to take an idea and develop it into a final product that customers would pay for. So it start from asking if X is our problem, is this idea the best way in solving the problem from a customer's perspective. If the idea validates, then it's off to working with everyone involved in the design and development chain from the UX to the UI to the programmers,the network guys ,support and anybody else that might be involved, hence the need for me to be able to speak everyone's language. So it's not just about how the product looks and feels but how it works.
I am a database architect, although i am versatile with some programming languages , I am very good with UX AND UI Designs, I know some php and js too, I know ionic. I am planing to start a music start-up, But i need a lumen and angular js or react developer who is interested In my ideas, Getting an investor won't be a problem. If interested quote me.
omokoladejames: Sorry bro, I don't have a stack cos I'm a product designer not a full-time programmer any more but I can work with Java, Ruby on Rails,PHP, JavaScript,c++,a couple of other php frameworks and I'm picking up Python this year, because of this whole big data stuff.
omokoladejames: Just Adding my own 2 kobo to all the good ideas by others....
I think one of the things also killing our tech industry is what i call the LOCAL CHAMPION SYNDROME.. I have meet too many people that think dey be king kong for programming just because dey better pass the people around them when in fact what they know is not up to the level of one 16yr old boy in US or china.This creates a problem for because we end up over hyping our skills when in fact we are mediocre and at the end of the day ,we are not able to compete on the world stage...
I'm not saying we don't have guys that are very good,what am saying is that the vast majority of us self acclaimed gurus are not there yet. Take for example the smart glasses by intel( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnfwClgheF0&t=4s ) . To build something like this no be by mouth or by being able to write 10k lines of code. you need to have really deep knowledge of whatever technology you are using.
Like i said , i do believe their are people who have real depth in their fields but they are just too few and until the rest of us stop this chairman attitude and start accepting we still have much more to learn, we go tey for this mediocrity wey we dey.
I believe this will also foster collaboration and knowledge sharing because once we remove that unnecessary pride from the equation, people would be more open to share and to receive thereby increasing the general knowledge pool..
In the words of Mr Kendrick Lamar, lets be humble , sit down and get to work...
omoluabiguy: 1. As a full stack programmer that I am, I can tell you that you can barely do any tangible programming especially java with a 2GB laptop without the laptop frustrating you.
Bro you are a programmer , Cool. Can i ask you some questions? @Bro BJ sorry for Derailing your thread.
I know AngularJS very well, I just made my first WordPress site yesterday. I havent used any recent back-end as service platform only Parse those days. I have integrated Paystack and Flutterwave API before.
Hi everyone i need an angular js developer to develop a web app for me. experience i need 1. must be experience in using angular js , node , php and develop wordpress plugins 2. must be able to work with complex api 3. must have worked with wordpress and woocommerce 4. work with most backend as service platform e.g firebase , strongloop / loop back etc 5. work with payment gateway 6. Can get the job done.
dhtml18: Yeap, seun is the one killing this board. When it comes to getting developers, I have moved from trying to secure experts (mission impossible 6) to trying to get developers that can work (this is easier and works). For developers, I prefer those in the country, and I have been able to locate serious minded people too amongst us Nairalanders. I do foreign jobs as well, scope is not limited to local. By the way, I dont restrict my developers to Lagos, internet is a global place.
Hello DHTML how do you get a serious minded team in nigeria without money at the core?
DanielTheGeek: Trust me, all you guys have mentioned isn't even a major problem.
The real problem is collaboration.
If Nigerian developers contribute in creating major open source softwares with a reasonable amount of success, then folks from any part of the world will gain trust and know where to look for quality developers in Nigeria. Recruitment companies like Andela are trying their best...but it still seems a large number of Nigerian developers are subconsciously repulsive to growth.
Look at Firefox, for example, an open source project by The Mozilla Foundation, anybody willing to work with them won't panic or think twice because of their record success in their open source software.
What of Android by Google, Inc...that's too much of a perfect example. Android is free and open, but you have to pay to put your app on the play store. Which android device comes without Google apps? How in the world do you expect Google to fail?
Most Nigerian developers have an obsession for money, if it's not making money then it's not making sense. It may not be making money but it will pave the way through fame which will end up making you rich. Call a Nigerian developer and tell him to contribute on your open source project, and he tells you "i need money bro, I'm broke"... all it takes is time (time is money).
Friendosphere failed because it wasn't open sourced and the sole developer didn't have enough funds to keep up with monthly costs even after gaining a massive acceptance after it's first month of launching. (>1,000 users).
I'm working on a small but powerful open source php framework that will power my new open source projects and hope fellow elite Nigerian developers will contribute in any way possible. It is small in the sense of footprint and powerful in the sense of render time and support for implementing features such as building RESTful APIs and much more.
I urge you all to forget NEPA, get a generator with the money from one of your projects and contribute to the success of something that will take you to the next level while working on side paid projects.
Remember, it is better to be part of a group of people that built a successful software than to build a copyrighted software that fails.
For clients to land you a job, they will usually require that you provide links to your developments, when they see a link to..., let's say JQuery, for instance... how the heck will they ignore your C.V? They will instead be thinking of how to negotiate your salary.
100% true but you forgot to add something about TRUST issues
