sharrrap yer maut dia before i sound yer face!

worldbest:
@oyn: how old are u? U too just dull ooo. Yansh washer.

yee paripa, but you dull pass me now - olodo like you calling me dull? oya, wetin be 2 * 2? no be 5?

shattap yer maut dia!

i maintain that asp and php are easy to learn, but the stooopid markup tags in coldfusion make it difficult to learn.
However, asp and php are different in terms of cost, availability. . . .

candylips:
i know a few mathematicians who are not very good in programming .


they find it hard to express their mathemactical thoughts in a programming lang easily. They particularly hate OOP.

In contrast, do you know many programmers that are good in mathematics - and are terrible in programming?

sayhi2ay:
I maintain an ASP application, develop using PHP and coldfusion. PHP and ASP are not similar.
coldfusion is easy to learn but not free, PHP is also easy too

They are similar in the following respect:
1. They are free-format languages
2. They are easy to code
3. They are not object-oriented languages (except in later versions) viz php 5
4 . . . .

But of course, we know asp is based on vb, and php is based on c - but their lang struct are similar

but asp.net is on a different level entirely.

it is +2 actually (mb is one, bs=2) - no biggie

PHP and ASP are very similar. But somehow, i prefer php because it is open source, and very easy to find help.
As for coldfusion markup language - i never saw any good reason to venture into it!

Mr Candy, berra get back to the sex board now. Having the brains to do maths is important. If i have the brains to do proper maths and programming. If you teach me any programing lang or any maths, i will gerrit, better than an ODE - ko le learn anything!

lekside44:
it depends on what you are solving?
there are some problems that even requires advance mathematics such as ode while many others do not even requires you to know 1 plus 1

what the f is this all about? and why the f are you calling someone ODE? that is a very big word o. But yes, you are right.
The only maths some people know is the one they can solve with the market women 1+1 = muri kan calculator

Can you easily write a program that will generate a chart based on input from database? if you dont know all those basic stuffs.

Slyr0x:
You guys are 4getting the fact that there is a B.Sc. attached to studying comp. sci.

And also forgetting the fact that M.B.B.S no be beans

Youngichou:
you wicked O

i am only being blunt - no mind me - IMHO, those departments should be deleted with SHIFT+Delete so them no go land
inside recycle bin, and replaced with more cutting-edge-aware professionals so that we can give our IT industry a boost!

i have done some applications before that some clients believed is not possible for a Nigerian to do - all because them don
give us bad names say we no get plenty good programmers for our country

pc guru:
Better you go with what u are interested in like i for instance wanted to study computer science but ending studying bus admin

If your heart truly is in computer science, go and study it, and be the best you can - it was never easy for me at all doing medicine
and being a programmer at the same time - but it was loads of fun sha - meanwhile, if i have studied only komputa science, life
i think would ave been more boring. . .
Just my view. . . .but that having been said, the 2 courses are quite challenging. Many times, i have met desperate komputer science
students who want me to teach them at least one new generation lang so that when they finish, they can at least say the know some
programming, while many of them go into networking because them no fit write code - and it never ceases to amaze me because i thougt
if you studied komputa science, the least you can do is write codes and programs in some languages even if you do not plan to be a
programmer or system analyst. . . .

Mobinga:
I think he was too. With user ID "DC++"

I am a brand new member, so shut the heck up, and lets continue the thread. Now, i remember
scoring an A1 in maths - but like i tried to say earlier, i suspect that being a damn good programmer
is somehow linked to good maths knowlege - but to be an ordinary programmer, you dont really
need to know maths - afteral you can copy and paste codes (that have been written by top klass
programmers)

How do you upload an image to a website - lets say the image is 10MB - and your site's maximum upload setting
is set to ehm 2MB (that is the usual default setting sha).
And your website admin refuses to change it? So how do you bypass that? or it is impossible eh?

Youngichou:
@MOBINGA i think he was. With username DExc Not so sure though

errr, i am a traveller in this strange land

candylips:
u probably don't need to know maths if you are doing web development.

Depends on the kinda programs you are gonna be writing. I cant immagine creating an app such as
a really big social networking site or an email service such as yahoo without having a sound knowlege
of maths - or what was you finking? u can create all them small websites that u can copy and paste
scripts, but you will just not be able to solve really tasking maths issues unless you ave a working
ALU upstairs

How many Nigerian university graduates can code properly in new generation languages and develop proper websites (based on what they were taught in school?). I have trained many of them in coding. I just finished training some sets of vb.net and oracle not too long ago, and it has always been like that - i dont know what they teach them in school - but except for those that develop themselves - in IT technology - the schools are light-years behind. I do know for a fact that some naija schools still teach Qbasic (as in Quick Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) as well as assembly, pascal and fortran.
Mind you, it is not like i did not learn those languages too out of curiosity - but they are useless. If they start with something like c/c++/java it would ave been better because the world has upgraded to OOP - so all them old school langs are no longer valid.

just kidding, we all know that medicine is not so eazy mehn. bt no big deal sha. you can learn computer stuffs easily online. Afteral, i studied medicine and surgery, but it takes a very good computer scientist to dust me in coding sha - whether softwares or web coding (that has been tried several times)

lol. i think u need some maths in other to bypass a spam bot sha

medicine and surgery is what i will recommend - if you have the strength for it - you can double your way back to computer science.

well, i know as many as d-h-t-m-l knows (or so i immagine)

you dont need to do computer science to know programming. well, i didnt, and i can code well in so many langs already

JSON - Java Script Object Notation

That is a very good one. Now, i did not read the question right. To be programmer, you dont have to be good in maths.
But to be a top klass programmer, i think mathematics is a compulsory stuff mehn, for hardcore stuffs

you guyz should stop posting nonsense and try to help out omni jor. omni, i dont see you online again these dayz
- safe dhtml

but at least, you need one member of such a team to be good in maths or all is lost. How do you do those nice games without maths eh?

Interesting, nairaland now uses re-captcha - and finally, i got baaaaarrrnnnnnngggggged again for the 100000th time!
