Zenith debit card issuance is still pending as I opened account a few days ago. In the meantime, I've re-visited my Ecobank account that has been unused for almost 2 years and I used the card for three purchases yesterday.

I didn't really bother to work out the exchange rate they used though, but I know dem own never enter that kain 400. Theirs is most likely still under 395 naira.
Thanks

Any spending limit on the Ecobank card... how much have you spent so far

The only place I've seen this is on Nairaland. It's not done in my school. I've never heard of it anywhere be it post graduate or undergraduate studies. That info is misleading
That's true, I haven't heard such anywhere else. Even MDCN's website doesn't have any such information.

I imagine many people might have taken the BDS route hoping to take the 18 months switch for an MBBS cert later on, only to find out it's nothing but a hoax.

Hello guys!!
Am 200L Dentistry student but i wanna leave the course, pls can i switch to medicine and continue or i have to come back UG1?

Pls i need ur suggestions
Retake jamb... I hear stories of switching from BDS to MBBS but that's all they are, stories. In my school especially, it has never happened to the best of my knowledge.

if you really don't like dentistry, enroll for jamb next year and slug it out for medicine.

Good luck!

Those guy want you to write code with full documentation, no bugs and a lot more conditions e.t.c and this is Nigeria u will just here a guy from some where won, though the money is small but nepotism will still make them give the already rich
oh thanks

Actually saw that ad, I thought the competition was based on innovation, now I'm hearing badges and courses.

Anyway, knowing the Nigerian society, the winners have already been selected

ProgrammingRe: Good Pharmaceutical Inventory Software But No Clients To Purchase It by Donpre(m): 10:06pm On Jul 25, 2020
Personal opinion: Try redesigning the UI to be more attractive.undecided

To your question...
How exactly are you selling it to potential customers?

Does it help them check which product is in stock and out of stock or does it have an anti-theft mechanism or does it integrate with a payment gateway to aid seamless payment in the absence of cash?

What exactly does your product do and how would it help their business.... these are questions you should ask yourself and when you have a good explanation, approach clients with these answers and explain how it will help them "save cost or get more profit"
If they still turn you down, ask them to at least give you a reason they don't like/need the app or what they would have hoped the app would be like, remodel your app base on their reasons and sell again till you get it.

If you need my assistance on it, you can pm me but you will have a lot to do on your side because my company has resumed and our timezone is different.
You work remotely? as a Django or front-end developer?

that aside,
You know that redirect thing nairaland does when you log in, like it'll show a success page and then waits a while before redirecting to the home page. How can it be done with Django?

I've done my due diligence, but can seem to know how to use reverse_lazy, or reverse() to achieve that feature

Thanks!

To some extent I understand what guys are saying but I can’t really fathom is going on.

@Donpre what the the name of the editor you’re using on your phone? Is there something like that for iOS?
It's nothing complex, just ordering of url patterns, I already got some insight as to how to do it tho.

the editor is Acode, while I use pydroid3 terminal to run command-line comands... I don't use iOS, but I'm sure a Google search would produce results
ProgrammingRe: For Django Developer by Donpre(m): 1:02pm On Jul 18, 2020
Taofeekdboy:
I got you but the way you are writing the URL path is wrong, when you are trying to match a path in django, it will start from the top to bottom to find the actual path but your path is not written in a nice structure...
Example,
You are writing a blog project and when you want to get a detail on a post, you match the path with the slug or pk of the post in your url so that your url will look like domain/blog/slug or pk
When you are receiving a parameter in your url path, your main path should have something to prefix it..
If you are not prefixing your url parameters with anything then your add synopsis must come first before your plain parameter path because it is still the same as empy string without getting the parameter.
Samething applicable when working with router in React.
This is quite insightful... Thanks a lot
ProgrammingRe: For Django Developer by Donpre(m): 2:46am On Jul 18, 2020
Taofeekdboy:
OK, I don't know if you made a mistake, your app name is courses but you are using course in your url, and also the second path is not written well, remove the str from the course and leave only the course because you are not receiving a parameter in your view which you need to match it with...
If you look at the error, it is coming from the second path which means it is matching it with course.
It's a typo, my url is correctly written courses:add_synopsis

also I can't remove the str cause the url actually take a course parameter just like the one below it that takes 2 parameters. it's from a reverse() in a get_absolute_url method of the model

funny thing is the code works fine provided the add_synopsis path is above the <str:course>, I just don't know why.

maybe I'll ask advanced Django groups

Thanks for the time
ProgrammingRe: For Django Developer by Donpre(m): 11:39pm On Jul 17, 2020
Taofeekdboy:
In django urls, you have to be wary of the slash, strings and variables you use. In the second url path, you put <str:course> where as you are not getting a parameter for the course.
The only place where urls matching is very strict is your root folder url where admin, Django. Contib.auth has to come before your app urls.
I got the last part but the first part didn't explain why Django didn't just skip the first three paths, considering I used {% url "course:add_synopsis" %} in my HTML.
I would expect it would just call the view straight up but instead it's matching the second path.
ProgrammingRe: For Django Developer by Donpre(m): 11:14pm On Jul 17, 2020
@django developers

I need some explanation as to how url matching works. I've read the documentation but it didn't help.

When I placed my 'add_synopsis' path below the rest (as shown) I get an error (also shown)

Although I fixed it by moving the url path to the second position as recommend by a stack overflow post.

I just want to understand how the url matching works and why my code got that error in the first place, in case of future codes and larger projects

Thanks

I’ve been hearing a lot about React and Vue but I don’t know which one to go for cos am yet to start my JavaScript journey, that been said, I have a thing for Flutter as well coz i learnt it can be integrated to the DRF.

I’m a Django newbie, started a month ago. @donpre
Can't help you with the JavaScript because I haven't learnt any too, but it's as @taofeekdboy said. There's no more I can add.

For flutter, I'm actually a flutter developer and it's for mobile apps, (desktop and web) but the last two are still terrible to use.
All of them(React, Vue and Flutter) can consume REST API from DRF

Depends on which part of programming you're going for

For Android(App) development and data science, 8gb RAM and a fast core i5(the more recent gen, the better). Android studio and Data visualization apps consumes a lot of RAM

For web development, anything would be fine

To support the comment before this, AMD processors come with good integrated graphics. So if you plan to use the system for any graphics work or gaming, you're better off with the AMD.
