Have you used Pascal before? Do you know Delphi?

Pascal is legacy now, the problem is about the employment opportunities, you might personal have fun with it, but what are your chances of getting employed? Or are you OK with doing something that has nothing to do with what you studied in the university? Now how much in terms of activities on StackOverflow concerns Pascal? Now compare it to JS, PHP or C#.

The man is actually sound,knowledge and vast about Nigeria political history.

The only possible thing the common man can achieve to set the country in tune outside restructuring is revolution.
Secession agenda is the most impossible task going by our constitution and the administrators of the document.
I don't like deceiving myself and fooling myself in some infinitismal fantasy.

good luck with that. This shows how incredibly stupid and naive you people are, right now almost everyone is pushing for restructuring, but ONLY the Fulnai is saying otherwise, why can't you just walk away? As MNK asked. For how long will you beg. Legendary stupidity is a Nigerian.

This is just one video, they are many, not one for them mentioned Pascal. Now we know who is ignorant and who Is not.

xenten:
Pascal programming language is a good introductory language to programming. It easy and can be used to teach all aspects of programming. Its better than BASIC language. By the way, there are modern variations of PASCAL like DELPHI.

Python is better, another one is PHP, JavaScript is another language that can be used, you see, the advantage is that, you can earn money even as a student. You don't have to wait to get a job after school, if you are a risky person, you might even decide to drop out and pursue the business full-time, and make big bucks, forget about the legacy languages. You should learn what is in high demand.

please What organizations put knowledge of Pasacal as a requirement on their wish list for potential employees, I don't know of any.

you see? When it comes to IT, two years is a very long time.

goodson:
My thoughts too

the question is, who will employ you?

Facts! My first University level introduction to programming was Pascal when Procedural Programming was THE thing. Sad to see how these young guns fling Pascal like its a useless language

yes it's useless because no one is going to employ you, not even as a freelancer. How many apps today are built in Pascal. I don't know of any.

matrixme:
While I'm not a computer scientist, but the op reeks of sheer ignorance. Older generation programming languages are not a waste in this modern age. For example, The US nuclear weapons force still uses a 1970s-era computer system and 8-inch floppy disk. Also, 3.5-inch floppy disks are still in use on airplanes to load avionics software. A dead clock is useful twice.

that's not true, they don't, ok? It's all a ruse, U.S. nuclear weapons on a floppy? Hahahahahaha.

Bigshoe2028:
And react js renders what olodo ,
This people that just watch 2 hours video and think they are now programmer

Without html and css
There is nothing like front-end on web

cool down! Ahh! Why you dey hot like this na

nowhere:
If the practicals are part of it, fine .If it is only paper reading....rubbish.

university can not teach you programming, you learn that on your own. It's like learning Yoruba, Igbo or English, you have to practice to get proficient in it.

NarcoPolo:
More fool you bro

Fortran is still used for high level scientific computations

like What and what, what companies do that. Last I checked, Java for example can be found on Mars. Yeah the rovers.

WoundedLamb:
I thought I read somewhere that NUC replaced BASIC, Fortran, and Pascal with some other programming languages?

Maybe old school, but I'm of the opinion that virtually any general purpose programming language can be used to introduce students to programming. In fact, a language as simple as BASIC helps them focus more on problem solving/algorithm development and worry less about syntaxes. But it would have been much better if the introductory languages were taught at the secondary school level. That way, the university would have enough time to teach languages frequently used in production.

bro, that can be done with Python. In the US they don't teach such languages anymore, in fact the reach Python as an introduction.

GboyegaD:
I guess we all code for different reasons. Most of my professors who are into structural modelling prefers Fortran77.

By the way, Python isn't geared for academic research. Thurs, the reason for coding in different languages so that you can use the appropriate one that works for what you want to do.

the problem with this academic research thing, is who will employ you? NOBODY! You see why many people come out of the university and go looking for jobs and end up getting employed in a field that has nothing to do with what they studied.

Oduok:
I was fast to understand MATLAB because I took my FORTRAN class serious. However, BASIC and FORTRAN should be learnt in secondary school. That is why I make BASIC compulosry to high school kids at my Technical Center.

BASIC is dead. You may say oh it is really simple to learn, yes, but there are better languages now, i.e. JavaScript. It's soooo easy, it can run anywhere there is a browser. I did not attend any university, mainly because to me it's a waste of time and resources, but come on, bro, stick with the times. You can make a living right away with JS, if you know the right places, you can't make a living with BASIC. You might say that we have to learn the basics first, yes I agree, but you can do that and earn a living. There is not time to waste. Even PHP, it's Soo damn easy and profitable at the same time.

GboyegaD:
I don't agree with you however, there's a need for much hands on. Some professors still use Fortran77 for choosing computations that are heavily reliant on mathematical formulas.

bro, that is best left for python

So, because people boast, they should be killed? But u won't say the same thing about a people who rape, kill and chase away ur people from their ancestral lands.

The Clouds Will Give Way To A New Nigeria, Says Osinbajo At National Prayer Breakfast

*VP joins Gen. Gowon, CAN President, others in Abuja to speak life to the nation

A new Nigeria is in the making, but it is currently covered by the clouds and travails which will certainly give way to a glorious and bright new morn of a new nation, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN.

He spoke this morning at the National Prayer Breakfast, which held at the NAF Conference Centre, Kado, Abuja.

According to Prof. Osinbajo, “the new nation is birthing already. It is covered by a cloud, but the cloud will pass, and God Almighty will take all of the glory for the birthing of a new nation.”

While he noted that the theme of the Prayer breakfast, the “Birth of a New Nation”, was significant, especially in these times, the Vice President emphasized the need for collective prayers, faith, hope, and action, adding that Nigeria would prevail over the challenges of today.

He said today’s National Prayer Breakfast “comes at a time of great travail and tribulation for the nation: in the throes of a pandemic for well over a year, leading to a severe economic downturn, loss of jobs and livelihoods; and as we climbed out of the recession, we have been faced with an unprecedented scale of insecurity, in different zones of the nation.

“But we know that every time that a nation where the lives of the children of God is challenged, it is God’s call to His people to take action. It is an opportunity for God to demonstrate that He is God over the nations, that He is the creator of the heavens and the earth, that He knows the beginning from the end. But God also wants us to know that He has ordained us to speak to life.”

Referencing the Holy Book, Prof. Osinbajo recalled the work and prophetic actions of men and women of faith who played vital roles in nation-building during biblical times.

“So, the Scripture has consistently shown us that children of God are central to the birth of a new nation, the rebirth of nations. They must desire the change, cry to God, be ready to make the sacrifice of repentance,” he said.

Describing the people of God as the salt of the earth, the Vice President said, “As we are the salt, we are also the light, the light ends the darkness; it marks the end of the night of weeping and marks the glorious sunlight of the morning of joy. So, the pouring of the salt into the source of the water, the source of the problem, is the prophetic act we perform today,

He referenced 2 Kings 2:19-22, and said, “we, the salt, are also poured today by prayer and prophecy, to the source of our nation’s problems. And as we pray and prophesy, a new nation will be birthed; one where, like the city to which Elisha went, the land was healed, the people prospered and peace and joy prevailed.”

Prof. Osinbajo thanked the organizers, as well as the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.) whom he described as the “father of the Nigerian Prays movement.”

In the same vein, the Vice President commended Gen. Gowon “for his commitment and dedication to this nation from his youth, when he was Head of State when he led the fight to keep Nigeria one, to his later years as an elder statesman where his well-seasoned words uttered in Godly wisdom have counseled our nation’s leaders for decades.”

The Vice President joined Gen. Gowon; CAN President, Dr. Samson Ayokunle, among other dignitaries who attended the meeting.

when a stupid man talked, it very obvious

MrCuteking:
You're right. My honest opinion is to have a mentor while programming. It's very difficult to program when there is neither mentor nor group

just do it everyday, your daily life for example is a program. You don't teleport to school or work, do you? You Have to wake up, bath, brush teeth, eat, wear your clothes, take, check if you have your Tfare, if you have it, then go to the door, if not, go and get it, that's that. Just learn the art first, then worry about other things later.

Yep. It doesn't matter, at all for a beginner.
Python
JavaScript
Php
What you need now is just to master the art of programming. The language doesn't matter, it is after mastering programming that You can now worry about these things. I will suggest you learn programming via web development, once you have masters the art of programming through JS, you can move over to ANY field of your choice, any language of your choice. The programming itself is almost the same thing every where, for example for loop, while loop, if, forEach, are basically the same thing, irrespective of the language, May be one or two syntax differences here and there.

superjab247:
Mr man don't tell me nonsense,all this madness started after the 40 day ultimatum Kanu gave police to vacate the east,no Fulani man is burning and killing policemen.igbos know it but we due to sentimenta try to cover him,but is now glaring that kanu is completely tactiless and uwarzuirike was right,kanu cant be trusted with little power talkless of governing Igbos what MNK is doing is that he is trying to get arms,is this how he is going to liberate biafra?by stealing guns from police? The man don kolo finish so the idiot left lions and started chasing dogs,is that how he want to fight war?where are the jets and isreali soldiers and backup that bastard scammer promised us?

Please am angry right now!!!!

he did not give police the order to vacate, he said they should dismantle the ILLEGAL checkpoints in the SE and SS. The same checkpoints that the IGP BANNED. You hate him, that's simple.

Valkrie:
Bros wake up there is nothing like Palestinians..those calling themselves Palestinians are all Arab immigrant from different Arabian communities scattered in the middle east after sallahudeen took Jerusalem from the crusaders.....same way fulani would come to an area and want to forcefully take it like they did to the hausa people...!! The good thing is the Israeli knlw how to cure that insanity...!! No pon intended...!!

The name Palestine is from Rome. Emperor Hadrian in other to punish the Jews renamed Judea into Palestineus or something like that, years later the Ottomans took Over Jerusalem as you rightly said.

obama30:
Palestinians are terrorists, we won't support them.

They are the one that first fire rockets into Jerusalem, so let them cry their own cry

no not Palestinians but Hamas

I love band. Fvck off. I got many accounts bro

Simplyleo:
What is important here is that ugm were killed.

In this case, you agree with the denial abi?
Continue cheering them to their graves. That is how the ugm will be picked one after the other.

Very funny pipu.

nobody was killed. Shut up slowpoke

fergie0o1:
SOURCE

photos please. Liars

Sunday2021:
go and get your arms so that you can approach the military. Terrorist sympathizers must be killed.

which military, the one UGM is romancing everyday? You be mumu.

gidgiddy:
My God! This is the evil known as "one Nigeria"

the evil is so much

gidgiddy:
How did this happen?

The murderers went into her house and killed her and other occupants of the house.

gawu1:
So far the lady is a member of ipob pig terrorists killing our security personnels randomly no problem. All terrorists, no matter their genders must be wiped out any how any how for peace to reign in our country.

What a idiot? This woman is yet to kill anyone, your cowardly boy scouts went and killed her in her house. What did she do to you? Don't worry, I heard they are going to the East, we are luring them into the forest, we shall kill them all, the ones that survive will have no where to go, because the Boko Haram and bandits will simply overrun their land, so when they hear that Boko Haram is romancing and raping their mothers and sister, we shall see the morale they will use to fight the war. Idiotic animals. One liegeria my foot.

Jmlsm:
who ever enjoy or rejoice the dead of our military personnel has no different from the terrorist killing them. One thing I’m very sure about, our security personnel will prevail.

a fvcking coward. Killing unarmed civilians in their beds. Once you idiots meet armed people, you disappear into thin air. Bloody Fvcking cowards.

VicDz:
My only problem is these ESN guys are fearless. The more you kill them the more they sad news we receive

but the logo isn't good
