Now, i will not call someone that learnt qbasic a programmer, i will merely say: He can code in qbasic. But someone that codes in JAVA is a different story.
But all that one na politics sha.

Yes, after qbasic, you can chose to remain redundant by learning:
Pascal (Use Lazarus Compiler for that or Turbo Pascal),
Fortran (There is a new GUI that works in windows environs),
Assemble language

Or, you can come to the world of real-programmers:
Get your Gear into Java, or follow Visual Basic .NET / C#

For me, i started with all the above i have mentioned inc: c,c++ and old school visual basic 6.
But when it was time to start doing real business, i rushed off to the world of website development,
and i am doing fine.
It is only when i get real software programming jobs (very rarely - i dont look for it) that i do softwares,
most times i stick to website development (which i prefer).

You can look up these stuffs on google. Or seek advise from other guys here.

Before any body kill me, IT WAS A MISTAKE OOOOOOO. IT WASN'T MEANT FOR THIS THREAD!

Ah, just saw that, well, nobody will kill you, the guys here are normally gentle - unlike the religious
board where you can get thrown out (or possibly e-hunged and crucified if possible)

kaboninc:
No people, check this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coding. It will answer the OP's question.

Eeeek! This guy should be hung, i meant what the fuc k? is he a retar d? What arrrrant nonsense??

Thank you amigo.

shut the f** up Just kidding. ~But seriously, that does not solve the problem here.

When my first big-tyme proposal was approved - except that i was duped on my very first job then. . .since then, i apply caution like BAT-MAN!

Caramba! I just poured petrol inside fire.

Bossman:
Something like this will not even come up for discussion in most other application development forums, since it's a known fact that they are the same thing.

Or lets reverse it like this:
Can you program without writing codes?
Can you say you are a programmer and you cannot code in at least one computer lang? Even if na machine language? or simple H-T-M-L (i don start wahala)?

[sidetalk]
If all you know is HTML (HyperText Markup Language) - are you a programmer?
If all you know is how to use wordpress - are you a programmer? - we have seen such instances in webmasters.
[/sidetalk]

Programmer / Coder are used interchangeable as far as i know. . .

Caramba! When he faints, we will place him on Intravenous Fluid (5% garium chloride) and will alternate it with 10% urine.
Now zat should teach him not to play pranks with us. . .

Now, lemme show you how to code, here i go:

dim s as string;
int i;
float x;
var x2;

setTimeout("alert('Idiot')",1000);
Screen 1
on error gosub 10

i=msgbox("Are you stupid",vbYesNoCancel)

if(i=vbYes) then
i=file_get_contents("http://www.wiki-edia.com/stupid");
end if

Well, that technically is coding - iite guys? Comprised of different programming langs.
It wont work in any compiler though, but it is still coding.

But to solve a problem, such as a task to do payroll or bubblesort or fibonacci sequence,
now that will be a program - which means codes that are used to solve a problem iite?

So you do the jargons algorithm et al, and finally code the program and test it at the end of the day.
Now, that will be a program.

Lets move to the business world, a client will pay you to create a solution for them - such as a school
application. They dont pay you to just write a bunch of codes to impress them.

Oya, where are the leggit computer science students?

What if he relapses and bombs the entire country off the face of the earth? I will say: Lets hang him

Let us break that down to Charcoal electricity, maybe we should build new dams in Nigeria.

Caramba! This is a too simplistic approach to it jor. Seun oya come here.

Nowhere. . .

Nay, i dont think your views about seun are corecta. I believe he is better than you have described. But i await to be proven right.

[s]Them should hand them over to me, i will hang all of them. . . .nak ed![/s] I hope them make a good example of them though (provided they are guilty as charged).
Whenever it comes to these Naija police people, i cannot trust them too much. I have had too many bad experiences with them.

God bless his soul. Someone said that if someone dies above 70 yrs, no matter the cause, it is a natural death 'cause if he were younger. . .
Bleep that. I hope they pay the money to his children at the very least.

Aho, i thought i was the only one that realized that the stuff he wrote sheds no light.

It all depends on what you are trying to do.

As for me:
I can use cms, i can use dreamweaver, i can code from scratch, i can use frameworks.

It is the nature of the job that determines what method i use. I use whichever method is fastest
and that will solve the problem most efficiently - and earn me money faster.

Exactly. I have already explained the reasons above already:
1. Rewriting may fail if .htaccess is not supported
2. Even if .htaccess is working, rewrite engine may be turned off

You may start begging your webhost to switch on rewrite engine.

But i will like to quickly add here that drupal comes with an option (clean url disabled),
that allows you to route requests to index.php if the rewrite engine is not working.

Santa Maria! People are dying of disease, and yet some people are saying that - dont sell it.

African / Nigerian people are very religious (individually) but as a whole, they are very much mucha teriblemente!

There is no downside to it really. Your choice,
www.mysite.com/company/page=1?v=10

or rewrite it to

www.mysite.com/page1

Your choice. But do well to remember that Windows Servers do not support .htaccess,
so if your only option is rewrite, the site will fail on such servers.

Then, i have experienced some apache servers with the rewrite engine turned off.
Maybe for security reasons. . . am not sure. . .

Lemme start searching facebook for the picture of the beautiful woman. . .

The one i hate is the one where the Mother in-law will now come and become the husband in the house.

I cannot let my mother come into my house and start dictating for my wife what to cook. . . .and all those
nonsense and ingrediens thing. No pun intended - i have nothing against mother's love and all that. But. . . .

Na wa o, so we will start the old intra-Nigerian war again. Lemme kick it off:

Fuc k all those Igbos, ono, caramba, i am more of Igbo blood than Yoruba, Fuc k the yorubas E duro na, i am mixed yoruba-Igbo.

Okay, Fuc k all the motherfuc king Abokis!

ok, thread closed. I have received your mails and many others too. Let us stop it here.

Seun:
The initial decision to freeze was for a specific purpose, but the purpose didn't really materialize.

Caramba! No comprendo. Please can someone translate this into singlish o espanol o yoruba?

So what are you going to do about this amigo? Other than lament?

Are we saying that nairalist is dead or dying? Caramba! Where is that boy seun?

There are gazzilions of sites for learning it all over the web. *At least you get the point* Thank you.

Nonsense and ingrediens. Them wan lie say them no sabi the bad roads? Where all their office people dey pass go work?
