KillingJoke:
We need more female programmers


More female using Linux and coding in functional languages or OOP



What will it take for women to start programming??

“This” inside an object refers to that object it is inside of. It is mostly used inside functions in an object or class to refer to the properties of the class or object it is inside of. Eg.
const car = {
Model: “Toyota”,
Color:”red”,
Details: ( ) => return “my” + this.model + “is “ +
this.color
}
If i do, car.details( ) ; i will get “ my Toyota is red”.
But u can make “this” to refer to another object ( which may not have a “detail” property ) by using bind() or apply() or call(). eg .
const vehicle = {
Model: “corolla”,
Color:”black”,
}

If i do: car.details.bind( vehicle). I will get “my Corolla is black”. Because “this” is now referring to the object “vehicle” because I bind it with “vehicle”. Is quite simple

Hey, I am into tech and need a friend too

FahBuLous:
like you are really good with CSS?? Like you know all the properties and values??

InfinityFabric:
Became a better investigator.

A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.

George RR Martin.

You need to read like 5 good programming books.

Start with x for dummies, then yyy for absolute beginners, then zzz for beginners.

This will take you 10 weeks. Read the books twice.

Then, you need to know 'why' you want to code. For quick money? For a career? Hobby? Business?

After the books, go see silicon Valley series to get an idea of startups and how much time programming will eat and how much it'll transform your lifestyle.

Have an adventure!

DispatcherLagos:
you are welcome. The day you understand my comment is the day you've become a programmer

bastardson:
Most of y’all are Java and JS.. I am searching for those into Python..

I am just starting and I need someone who’s just starting as well, so we can challenge ourselves.. I need someone who can encourage me while I am at it.

My goal is Machine Learning or AI.. So I can’t follow you guyz route.

Ovaltine:
You need to add chess to your learning backlog.
A merger with programming changes you entirely.

Sheriman:
No, they are not similar. Data structures and algorithms will help a developer to write readable, efficient, clean, lesser and concise code. It will be difficult for your website or Application to get crash. It makes you understand more about the language. It will make your code nicer. Company requires a developer to understand data structures and algorithms and they take it seriously. Knowing it will make a person to develop a scalable website or application with greater functionalities.

Sheriman:
Good to hear that. Just be pushing it back and forth. To be good at Programming is not easy, it requires serious work and patience.
I have finished with the Kotlin basics now learning data structures and algorithms.

stanliwise:
It simply about communicating with machine by learning and using their own languages. It gives us another perspective and yeah it does change our approach to things.

Yea one can stop being a beginner but that is if you niche else no

38Noob:
you should be starting with Html...

GOOOGLE504:
Truly it's not easy. Try not to do wuru-wuru-to-the-answer because you earn by making others cry, do not be idle, find something doing in the meantime to keep you busy.

If you are a graduate, especially with second class upwards, push for international scholarships - people are getting it every day. Press hard enough on that and Japa from this shiithole because no matter your class of degree, the best solution is to japa. Dollar is increasing, even 150k salary earners need to start planning anew.

Learn new skills, meet new people, have fun because in life, Problem no dey finish o.

Also Because one person food don already done no mean say your own no dey ontop fire. quote me if you need mtn data (1-2gb) and remember, God is working on something for you.

Ovaltine:
Nairaland message thing.

Ovaltine:


I have been thinking it's only me that sees this.

I hired one last year.
If she posts 'tips' like this, you'll find 800+ likes and 50+ retweets.

I gave her 4 projects to do, paying her in $/hour.
Guess what? She failed woefully. One by one.
I didn't condemn her because I believe there is always room for improvement. I guided her on how to even go about it for the remaining 3 jobs and I had to finish the rest myself.
I was asking myself why I even had to give out the projects since they are simple tasks I was just too busy to do which I should have created a few hours in the night to do.

I terminated the contract after paying her for all the hours she did and even gave bonus and wished her well.
She still continues her : thing. SMH

GboyegaD:

Its not just customer support. HTML emails then add the salesforce sales cloud certification and its a different ball game entirely. You arent even writing anything aside HTML and CSS. Theres just too many roles in tech.
