Gloriouspa:
Is this real? I hope you're real.

I am interested. I asked because of so many scammers here. I worked with a female moniker and refused to pay my balance till date.

I am as real as it can get. But I can only guarantee employment if your application is good. I'm only looking for about 5 people so, you can understand the need to look for the best.

thatthickgurl:
Will the articles be finance related only?

Mostly.

I will be making selections by this evening. A lot of people didnr follow instructions. I didnt get CVs, samples, cover letter, or the correct subject line from many applicants and it has me wondering how well they will be able to follow instructions.

Anyway I hope to pick good workers and if you know anyone who might need the job and is good at writing please let them send in their details by today. Hopefully I should have my top 5 by 2moro evening.

500 words in an hour. Shey na copy and paste �?

If you have worked as a news writer you would know that 500 words and hour is the typical timeline for companies. It's a fast paced job but once you bet the structure and style it flows effortlessly.

I understand it is because of your busy schedule you want a teacher. It was the reason i recommmeded visual learning - videos. Your teacher will also use visual. It is like when you were in school and you read ahead of class. You grab it more, and you ask meaningful questions. You make use of your money eventually you get a teacher. The road is broad. So, when you get a teacher now, he moves here and there while teaching you cos you dont know what you want uet, and a non skillful teacher can escape with teaching you nothing cos you know nothing. But after you have tasked your brain, you can even know how to scout for the right person for the job instead of just accepting anyone cos you know nothing. Trust me, this is the best path. It is a secret I learned years ago.


I had an exchange of posts with a guy from accounting background who wants to cross to IT this morning. We both agreed that the right path is to do something relating to accounting cos he is skillful there already.

You need to ask yourself a question: what problems do I want to solve? Cos you learn codes to solve problems. And the best place to start is solving problems in your career or areas you are skillful. Or areas you have huge interest in and you have identified problems.

Back to your questions, you can use virtually all the languages for backend- python, Java, C, C#, C++, Ruby, Javascript, and many more. While Java and Python ar versatility languages, C and C++ are close to machine language and are extremely fast to process. Then, you have the nice Javascript which is another all rounder esp for web development. It may be confusing, but I will help you here. Answer the following questions:

1. What is/are your program(s) of study in college/uni?
2. Which industry do you work? What is your career path?
3. What problems have you identified in 2 above that professionals or customers in the industry face?
4. Do you have a special interest in a particular area which is not close to your career? If yes, explain.
5. What excites you in life?
6. Which subjects in school or topics in real life you dont gaet bored with? You just love doing/discussing it/them.
7. Do you need a fast job asap cos you are trying to survive and it is why you have decided to learn coding? I mean that you need the job right now to kill hunger (not necessarily mean you are hungry....but you just need to get into side hustling cos you it seems you cannot even wait for 3 months to quit your present job.
8. If 7 above is yes, no need to answer this. But if it is no, then, can you survive for like 6 to 1 year or more with your present financial status so that you learn something you are really passionate about?

Note: if you just want to survive, you may need to do what you dont really enjoy much to just get cash and then do what you are passionate about later. Cos if you dont have cash, you will lose interest in coding. But if you can still survive, it is better you go for what you are passionate about so you can enjoy it and not leave it half way.

Send your answers and I can advise you better.

Your questions are broad but I'll try to answer

1. I haven't gone to the university yet.
2. I'm a content writer. Been so for about 3 years
3. I'm not looking to code to particularly solve one problem. I'll explain further later
4. My interest really wont have so much to do with my need to learn coding. But to answer this, I'm aiming to be a psychologist. It's career path I hope to take later.
5. Independence. Being able to create a dynamic business for me. Again I'll explain later.
6. I'm more of a problem solver in terms of every day issues. Not motivation but I enjoy listening to issues from ground up and finding solutions to it. I'll give an instance. Yesterday a friend posted on whatsapp that he had a misunderstanding with most of his female course mates. Nd for the next 30 minutes I drilled out every info I could about the issue, broke down the problem, offered solutions, and counter solutions until we came to a conclusion. That's me. I'm interested in solving human to human issues and understanding why they originated in the first place.

7. No I'm not looking for a quick paying gig. But I'm looking for a long term skill that can lead me to the independence I need. I learned content writing, now I'm interested in coding, my next goal is trading, and then learning foreign languages. My goal again is building up a skill set that makes me almost indispensable and knowledgeable to build a service providing firm fitting for the modern day world. My current job is paying the bills, so there is no hurry, but my schedule is packed, so I need a more stiff structure that can teach me in as reasonable an amount of time as possible. I chose back end programming for it's high demand, yes. But I also researched enough to know that learning things like designing, photoshop and such isn't my biggest suit so front end programming is not as appealing.

And you are right, going for your passion is good bit even Warren Buffet said that sometimes it is important to do what you dont want now to get what you want in the future. I'm in my early 20's so I think it's the right time for me to build my skill set.

Ms.,
Do not waste your money on a teacher at this stage. Go for youtube lessons. Pick a language first. Do not rush everything.

After you have the basis, and you have practised a bit, you may then look for someone (you can pay) who you will drill with questions. You can then go on zoom. For example, you have a project, you tell the person ...."see eh...I have learned X language...and I want to do this project, I want you as standby to guide me in the ways to achieve it". You may even compile 3 projects for the person to navigate you through. So, you write and he/she debugs with you. This is the best way you should learn.

If you pay someone now, I think the person will just download "La Cram, La pour". The person may not even be good. Lol. If it's on whatsapp , the person will just copy and paste. Lol.

The best way is that you "crack your brain first". As in, stretch your brain to the point you sef know that...no, I cannot get this thing further by myself, but you already have enough questions, not that you be JJC.

But as long as you are getting it, do not pay anyone. If you learn and you see that you are getting it, continue. Everything you need is online. Even you think that you will not easily get it by yourself. Go for videos. Just watch and keep taking notes. Watch the lessons till the end. Then, try something. If you need help, come here and ask. Paying now is wasting money.

Again, look at the future of what you want to do, and pick a language first.

Goodluck!

In your opinion where should I start from if my goal is to be a back end programmer?

EvilSec:
You must be really smart to want to learn and be proficient in 7+ programming languages by just "taking zoom/whatsapp lessons".

No, I'm not and I'm not hoping to learn all at once. But I just prefer to have a coach for the long run. And I'm a very ambitious person, so I tend to want to get a full grasp of things, even if I know I wont get all. The motivation and intrigue for me is enough.

Thanks a lot for this. I was only looking for a coach cause I have a busy schedule and was hoping a schedule plan from a professional school will be more effective than me just studying myself. But thanks will consider your point.

evenom:
I can help you with that, I'm usually at Iyana Ipaja during holidays. I majorly use python and do development in it with Django so I can also teach you web development with Django as the backend...you'll also learn how to use git and Linux operating system if you're interested.

Could you drop your line so we can talk.

Hello Nairalanders, I'm interested in learning about programming but I work so I cant exactly make it to regular computer schools.

I need someone who is an expert in programming languages python, C, C++, Ruby, Java and more. And also knowledgeable in back and front end programming. I am willing to learn and of course pay for it. It'll be an online thing so zoom or whatsapp and such will do.

Other option is if you know any school with a part time program for these lessons. But I'm around Iyana Ipaja so the school has to be near by.

If you have any info or you can teach it properly please just reply to this with your rate and speculated time it would take to complete a full out course on programming.

Thanks in advance.
