Abeg I need info about Uniport

Are they having post utme this year or is just waec and jamb score screening.

How is their admission to medicine?

I'll advice you prepare for post utme. it's more likely

Not sure I get the last part

DonJ7:
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!

It is not about IBM or MS wanting the programme it about increase usage in africa, Nothing goes for nothing, i actually went the t & c and it is important you don't hold a patent on the innovation, think about that

That's a shady T&C for a Nationwide competition aimed at "helping" the youths

Brukx:
You mean white space? Not in python either

I laugh in wrong indentation

codeigniter:


Sure, I would advice people that want to learn app development to take up the challenge for learning sake

The stuff is organized by IBM and MS to promote their cloud solution

I stated the Reason why it is a bad idea here

http://afrikas.herokuapp.com/forum/thread/?category=startup&slug=Are-you-participating-in-the-app-competition&thread_no=10

Your reason is quite funny but isn't wrong.

Don't you think IBM and Microsoft are too big for that tho, they have enough money to buy any programmer and program in the worls

Nice website btw

codeigniter:


Nope but ministry of sports and youth collaborate with ibm and Microsoft to make people learn how to code through there courses so as to be able to build apps in which ten will selected and the winners would win 1M

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

Tom and Jerry is 2D animation

it requires some level of natural art skills tho

just google "How to become a 2D animator", I'm sure you'll find a blog post with all your need

of course YouTube is a great guide also

Good luck!

codeigniter:

you wanna chop 1M

IBM dey give $2500 to people wey complete those courses?

Personal opinion: Try redesigning the UI to be more attractive.

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.

yet school resumption is rocket science

Taofeekdboy:

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!

Toppytek:
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

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

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

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.

@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

Toppytek:
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

Akiliogidi:


OK, thanks for the explanation. Below is a screenshot of the HP corei5

comes with 3MB cache

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/95443/intel-core-i5-7200u-processor-3m-cache-up-to-3-10-ghz.html

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.

arejibadz:
how

Got it to work.
Vue is beautiful, nice work!.
question tho, where is it hosted?

Akiliogidi:

Bro thanks, but why the first one? when I checked the cache memory , it is in kilobytes & I read here on nairaland that any processor with less than 2 MB cache memory is a no no

Modified : below is a screenshot from Desyner about cache memory

Okay, here why.

AMD processor weren't as good as Intel's back in the day(A-series), not that they don't work but compared to similar Intel, they were below par and some people say they overheat.

This changed when AMD came with their ryzen processors. The Ryzen 3000 and 4000 series (just came out) are better than Intel processors and are cheaper and comes with better integrated GPU, basically a flawless victory.

So unless you're buying a Ryzen(3xxx or 4xxx), getting a 6th gen+ Intel core i5 is a better choice.

Regarding cache,
I doubt you're getting the cache value correctly. Post the exact name of the CPU, lemme check out the cache size myself.
A core i5 7th gen shouldn't be any problem at all, even the least one.

As a side note, getting an SSD hard drive, even if it's 256gb is better than a 1TB HDD drive. it'll speed up development and running applications. So get an SDD option instead of a HDD

#My2cents

Akiliogidi:


Good day bro, abeg what is ur take on these 2 laptops below for programming? can u recommend the best for me between them? ..

(1) Hp 17
Corei5 7th Generation
1TB HDD
8GB RAM
Windows 10
although the cache is in kilobytes..

....&...

(2)Hp pavilion 17
AMD A10
1TB HDD
8GB RAM
Windows 10

I have checked the specs but me sef confuse, corei5's cache memory is in kilobytes , while the pavilion runs an AMD processor( read in the past where some gurus here said " run from anything AMD)

Go for the first one

I recently started training on html it will be followed by css, javascript, jquery, bootstrap and wordpress. Am I on the right track??

Not sure what you're on track to? like what's your end goal?

Hello sir, good afternoon sir, please sir I'll like to chat with you on WhatsApp sir. I'm your junior colleague in UNIPORT. Thank you sir

Damn! Guy, he passed on earlier this year.

May his soul RIP

thenaijacoder:


I work at an AI company that is into offering home management services and gadgets to customers. It is currently located at Austin, Texas in the United States. I work as a fullstack software engineer where i managed both the frontend and the backend aspect of the web application.

I get paid $2,500 monthly due to the fact i am working remotely. Hope this helps..

Sorry it might sound like I'm stalking you but I'm just trying to learn about the market

Thought your salary was $500, was it increased to that new figure?

if so, congrats man!

Taofeekdboy:

The reason why I said that was because Vue is easier to learn and can integrate easily, for beginners, you will always go for easier method right . I learnt React first, moving to Vue was so super easy that it didn't take me like 3 days to grab everything in Vue.
React has a steep learning curve compared to Vue because of its lifecycle can sometimes f*ck with your head, props and all that, but when you are comfortable with it, you won't leave it for other frameworks.

Back to your question,
You can integrate both Vue and React in django template directly but I won't advise you to do so because it will get messier as you are writing a lot of code, the best thing is build a Restful API and let your frontend consume the API, you can do whatever you want with it in the frontend.
So I build API with DRF and my React app consume the API, making calls, getting data, posting data, deleting data, patching data, updating and so on..

Thanks

Taofeekdboy:

Have worked with Vue-Django and React-Django but I prefer React-Django because React is easy to setup with Django both in development and production. As a newbie, I will advise you to go for Vue as your first javascript framework as it is easy to learn and simple to integrate with any backend language.
Django-React community is more accessible than Vue-Django.

It's funny how you painted React in such bright only to recommend Vue at the end

Another question tho, I know I'm getting ahead of myself here but is Vue/React integrated into the django template or you build API with DRF and make calls to that instead?

Taofeekdboy:

As in, they are made for each other, I enjoy using Django with React a lot..

I've been hearing this talk and I don't quite understand how Django and React are soulmates.

Also, how does a Vue-Django combo compare against a React-Django combo
