hello, please i need a good programmer/Software developer that is based in Abuja to teach me how to program and if possible carry me along like an intern on ICT jobs. thanks, i will be glad if i can get an ICT guru to brush me up in programming skills. my email is akinsiku.temitayo@yahoo.com
Except you are paying, you may not easily find someone that will help you that way. They are not unkind, they just dont have the time. If you need guide on studying you will surely see someone willing to help. I am not a "guru", but I can help whatever Little way. PM we if you are interested. Just be ready to work on your own for most times, I also have to hustle.

I want to be able to extract data from online news sites like punchng, naij, and nairaland for later offline viewing and just wanted to know if you guys know any APIs or tools that can help me extracting data with ease.
Thanks
It depends on what you want to achieve. There is a firefox extension called Scrapbook that can save an entire website including links to other pages. To target some other form of data, you can try import.io

Science/Technology / Bitcoin Creator Revealed. by elfico(m): 6:48pm On May 02, 2016
Australian tech entreprenuer, Craig Wright has been revealed as the creator of bitcoin. It is reported that he gave proof of his identity as Satoshi Nakomoto by digitally signing a message using the same cryptographic key that was created a few days after the creation of bitcoin, a key that could have been known by only the creator of bitcoin. Speculations about the identity of Craig Wright as Satoshi began last year and his house was subsequently raided by Australian authorities in connection to investigations involving tax payments. Members of the bitcoin community and its core developer team have confirmed his claim.

Car Talk / Re: How Do You Stop A Car That Failed Brake ? by elfico(m): 7:30am On Apr 16, 2016
Very good thread. I meant to ask the same question. Just yesterday, a bus full of people suffered a brake failure. It wasnt funny at all. Thank God there was traffic and the bus was not on speed. See people jumping out of the bus. The driver had to move to the parking lane and drove towards a bridge. The bus stopped as it was ascending the bridge. Except for the people who jumped out, everyone else was fine.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: How Real Are Online Vacancies? by elfico(m): 12:54pm On Mar 21, 2016
Your question is like asking if google search results are real or not. I dont know if these sites verify the jobs they post or not. I got called for a volunteer position I applied for on jobberman. Another time, I also got invitation for a job I did not apply for. I checked the organisation out and it was real. When I called the organisation, I was told they had gotten my cv from jobberman. Thats my experience though. Others may have a different experience.

dammytosh:


That is the power of the DotNet Frame work.

Program a File Watcher event and do the movement.

I appreciate your courage and this is one of the reason i tell people who write PHP that "YOU NEED MORE THAN PHP" for me to categorize you as a programmer.

I am sure an average Java dude will be able do this without stress.


"You know your language / platform is powerful if you can achieve it once some one conceives it."




I think you can do this in PHP and Python using automation. Can tell if its better than dotnet though.
Programming / Re: 75 Media Player - Lets Make It Happen by elfico(m): 4:00pm On Feb 27, 2016
Nice concept. I developed a lightweight media player for contest here on Nairaland before the 'catastrophic data loss'. I used C# and WPF. I dnt knw the language you have in mind that we can use for the project, but I will like to play my part.
Programming / Re: The Greatest Programmer On Nairaland by elfico(m): 3:53pm On Feb 27, 2016
While a real challenge like the one @DanielTheGeek posted is a very good thing, this E-beef or whatever you call it is quite childish. Instead of organizing mini-hackathons where we can involve everyone and create solutions to real-life problems, some people are busy having a d*ck-measuring contest. Who cares if u are or think u are the 'baddest' programmer in ur little village. We need to rearrange our priorities to play our part in developing our country. And we wonder why many companies prefer to give tech jobs to foreigner.
If it wont be too much to ask, rather than looking for bragging rights like a couple of script kiddies, lets organize a mini-hackathon every month. Something like Google Hash Code, but this time, we use our programming and development skills to tackle problems affecting our country. Peace out.

It makes perfect sense, countries where gays are pushed underground have higher AIDS statistics. If America is wasting it's tax dollars on a country that has refused to make the environment healthy for sexual deviants then they might as well light it up and let it burn.
