Codedboy95:
smaller gigs sure, underpaying jobs? Not necessarily. The difference between upwork and fiverr is that on upwork most clients ( if they have the money) wants to pay more for who can do the job best. So you don't really need to low ball yourself.

Thanks

Good morning guys, for landing first gigs, would you advise taking on smaller, underpaying jobs to build a profile and JSS score?

Unfortunately I have nothing to add. It seems a great product though.

I'm quite curious about how you accomplished the subdomain in react @cixak95211

udemzyudex:
budget #7-9k for the light for the one with light.

Thanks

udemzyudex:
the model number will help.

sorry... HP Pavilion 15-au016no

Depends on what your business is.

I would say a website as it can be reached across multiple devices and operating system. You would only have to maintain one code base unlike apps that would need maintenance across multiple platforms.

You could plan ahead and build your website on REST APIs, that way half the work for the app if you ever come back to do that would be done already.

Which of the pavilion 15? there are many pavilion 15 laptop.

The one with 6th gen core i5,

Does anyone know how much a pavilion 15 notebook backlit keyboard (or any backlit full length) costs

Codedboy95:
I believe that since they introduced 'paid connect' system, it has been easier to get account approved and yes i uploaded a valid ID, you will be asked to also, this will most likely be after you get your first job ( you will be asked to do video verification too), uploading ID and video verification is for 'verification' of account not 'approval' of account. Your account has already been approved

thanks.... I was quite confused for a while.

qtguru:
Yes they have relaxed the rejection rate. Next week I will drop some proposals and tips, however this is what also works, look for a category that makes sense, do a working example and add to your portfolio. They look at it alot.

would be expecting this and whatever codeoboy95 has to add.

its one thing to be accepted and another to land a gig

Codedboy95:
since you are able to apply to jobs, your profile has been accepted

Okay, i'm still in disbelief though. It should be harder according to popular opinion.

Did you have to verify anything with a valid ID or something official. I haven't yet, and its fueling my disbelief

how do i know if my profile has been accepted or rejected?
Its been accessible since i registered as a mobile developer, I even applied for a job.

if you have stable power supply go for the desktop, if not save up more and get a laptop even if its an older one.

termux is great for learning but terrible when you have to build serious software which you will at some point

clarkmos15:
Is JS Hard?

Not really but then I've never had any problems learning new programming languages, so you can't take my word for it

- A browser
- A text editor(Notepad++, Vscode, Sublime, Atom)

I used MDN(Mozilla developer's network). Its a website.... For videos, Freecodecamp's javascript crash course should be good enough

Build a system that solves a problem. You never know how much you've mastered CRUD until you have to manipulate data in certain very specific ways.

Other things you should learn are:
- Authentication
- Multiple user types and permissions
- Websockets and real-time data

Donpre I found this article for you. https://medium.com/@drola/the-mystery-of-market-size-in-nigeria-a7c863f537bb

This was a great read

tensazangetsu20:
Huge market filled with poor people. Nigeria's market is at most 10 million people. People who have the money to actually pay for actual services. Brazil has the same population with Nigeria and Less poorer people. Their government is also very receptive to innovation.

I see your point

But then successes like paystack, flutterwave, interswitch are proof that there's a market here despite what seems like a never-ending apocalypse
Why else would stripe pay a whooping $200M for an African expansion?.... despite already having shares

The fact is Brazil or some other country might have the same population and an even higher GDP but is it a growing market?. Can you survive the competition there?
In Nigeria, there's virtually zero local competition for most IT sectors. Game dev? Automation? IoT?

But again I see your point, despite the allure of the Nigerian market, all it takes is an ill-planned policy to end it all
If only we had better leaders and policy makers, if only

Same thought occurred to me when I saw the news, "What's to happen to the numerous fintechs who were trying to establish early dominance in the crypto industry?, Years of planning, toiling and not to mention capital all gone"

The problem is Nigeria is still a huge market, how do you overlook such in search of greener pastures somewhere else?

LilSfc:
Can someone build an app with React? I want the app to work offline with or without internet connection

Yes but with React Native. Works like a native app only slightly slower

Since you already know css, html and javascript, React Native would be the easiest route to take to building a mobile app.

2 things a developer needs is:

- How to google things.... Seriously, the answer to this question is all over the internet as android is about a decade old

- Official documentation which will provide you with resources about how to start... https://developer.android.com


But first things first.... Do you know any programming language properly, from variables to Classes? If yes, are any of these languages Java or Kotlin?... If No, then learn one of those after which visit the official link I posted above.

Alternatively, buy a Udemy course which will ease your journey by a lot

Good luck!

Deicide:
Lol, what language can you read then?

Well first of all I have to say that the main solution is suppose to run in O(N) time but because of the extra input I have to deal with that is the while(n--) it makes it O(N²)

Now for the inner loop it's simple let's say you have the number 1234 if you find the modular of that number using 10 that is 1234 mod 10 you would get 4. After that you divide 1234 by 10 again then you get 123 and then you find the mod, this process goes on in a loop till that inner condition in the loop is met while(n >=1).

I get this part.

But does your solution solve the scenario where the first digit to be inversed is '0'?

e.g 09787 becomes 78790

Deicide:
.

I am unable to read C++, could you explain your solution

naijasensei:
Modulo arithmetic, using the remainder of a division combined with the quotient. Because, given any integer, n:

n / divisor = quotient * divisor + remainder.

If 10 is our divisor (because it will preserve the number but shift the decimal point to the left, 123/10 = 12.3):

Then, n / 10 = quot * 10 + rem. For example, 12345 / 10 = 1234 * 10 + 5. If we divide by 10 repeatedly until we get zero and store the remainder in a variable during each iteration, we can successfully reconstruct the number in reverse by adding the remainders while remembering to multiply each digit by their corresponding powers of 10.

reversedNumber = (((rem1 * 10 + rem2) * 10 + rem3) * 10) + ... + remn

Image1 - Python
Image 2 - Kotlin

Beautiful but....

Misbahuddeen:
So completely unrelated, if say you want to learn on your own with YouTube, freecodecamp and other resources, which is more easier to grasp. Front end or back end. Just a beginner with ambitions make una no drag me o, instead use the energy to point me in right direction. Thanks in advance.

Mix it up

find what works for you

Angelawhite:
I’m a full stack developer and I’ll tell you though I enjoy fronted more, it a bit tougher.

Most backend codes are re-usable across several other projects. You can’t say the same for Front end. User interfaces look different and some UI have crazy designs and effects that you have to implement from scratch


I can write a full bank end application in a single day - but I can’t build a front end with all the pages in a single day

Moreover, it’s a fallacy that backend developers earn higher

You can also build your own resuable frontend css library... Bootstrap, Tailwind etc also removes a lot of work

I'm not saying frontend is a work in the park but backend is more complex and carry more risk if something goes wrong. The higher pay is justified

majortwild:
My issue is how to Push the app out to iOS users am just completely tired honestly Cuz coding Android is easy for me but iOS na war

iOS is a terrible platform for developers.

Anyway, you can't even compile for iOS without a Mac and Xcode(iOS/Mac IDE). And the only place you can push it to is the App store which requires a developer account

Spend the money or forget iOS

You can't develop an iOS app without

- A mac
- Xcode which only runs on mac
- Apple developer acct

There's a reason I hate Apple

Only someone who hasn't done backend development will say frontend is harder

Design database models and relations
Authentication
Security
Errors handling
Validation
Business logic
Request handling so server doesn't shutdown under heavy load
Real-time data with socket-io and websockets


This is like the basics of backend.... I've seen people write about things that leave me bewildered; Monolithic and microservices and other things that's just complex.

Isn't frontend just JS, CSS and HTML/JSX.... UI designers even do the designs, and plus a ton of CSS and JS frameworks

Not to start a war but have you really done backend seriously before?

Everybody should calm down abeg.

There's no point to this ruckus, afterall when the pandemic hit, neither doctors, nurses, MLS, radiograhers etc in this country could do shit.

Maybe instead of arguing and ending up not making sense, we all should put our ego into getting better as healthcare practitioners.
Its disappointing seeing people who still won't be able to do sh!t when the next pandemic hit argue about which course is and isn't supreme.

I'd expect the discussion here right now to be about how the mRNA vaccine works and possible side effects but this is Nigeria, only stupid discussions/arguments can be found even amongst scholars

brain02:
hello medics in the house. I'm rigorously preparing for 2021 UTME which might kickstart anytime soon. I need advice from you all. method of preparation, relevant books to prepare with. thanks. I'm aiming to get atleast 330 this year. your advice here will go a long way to help me through. thanks in advance.

Someone asked this same question a couple days ago, going back one or 2 pages should give you a lot of answers.

Good luck bro!
