megaplaza: he didnt mention tail recursion ok I was talking about recursion not tail recursion, if you wwant to know that it's correct write just a recursive function to calculate factorial, i wasnt talking about where you use an accumulator that you pass around to hold intermediate and final result. Thanks

megaplaza: Recursion over Iteration? It depends on the use case. Write a recursive factorial function that calculates factorial of say 1billion or 500million and lets see if you wont have stack overflow error. Recursion is not memory friendly and once you have a problem that involves recursive calls that runs into thousands you are bound to have a problem.

Sorry but that statement is technically wrong! To prove my point, how does your 'conjecture'(emphasis on conjecture) satisfy a recursive function that does not add a new stack frame to the call stack?

Ymodulus: the following programmers .
7. Fayimora, - I been think say u just dey hail Java and Ruby for this forum. i no no say na me dey deluded.

Seun:
Our immediate need is for website development in Python, but I can see us building Scala/Go websites or Java/Objective C/C# Apps later. We are not hiring for a short term project. We want developers who will evolve and grow with us for several years. We're building an organization.

kambo: Yeah right. Assignment/schul wrk indeed. Who told u i cant wrte a linked list? I write it 4 fun in java but my ruby code aint compiling!
Y google wen theres a pack of naija programmers on nl? Wats ths section 4?
I was xplorg ruby 4 fun, nothg to lose frm dumpg ths pink lang.

I just wantd wrkg code i cud run in d interpreter and compare 2 my non wrkg code to see where mon a missg it since them books i'm usg aint helpg nada in ths issue.

Therages: @fayimora i know ember is very good, but that article is a bit biased mostly the examples. I think you should google "AngularJS vs EmberJS" and read few of the articles on it. i realy appreciate anweres from stackoverflow.

Therages: @fayimora , u can organise ur code using RequireJS. Check out seed-project on github, its like a boilerplate for Angular & RequireJS Configured for easy unit testing.

javadoctor: Kambo is usually good@ saying rubbish,I'm practically lost

gistme24: In the Nigerian Context, things are always a bit different.

Back in March, I was looking to leave my Job for another, in fact I already had an offer from another firm, was just weighing my options when a former colleague of mine, who works with a Chinese Telecom firm here in Lagos, asked me to forward my CV .
I was called in for a Technical Test a week later. The test was in two parts, written and oral, conducted by two Chinese dudes . The questions were on core Linux, Oracle, and Java. I nailed them both. I did so well that the tech guys wanted me in as soon as possible.

In comes the Nigerian HR personnel. And it was a resounding NO. Reason being that I was running an online Degree program with a UK based university and had a year to go.

This may be a bit off topic, but my point is that here in Nigeria, we value paper qualifications more than knowledge .

I have done projects for Msc. student before. i could remember in my ND days a Bsc holder begged me to his project. This happens here in nigeria. When i was in school we(as in group) do projects for some lecturers in another school.

typical programming is learnt in a desktop mode first b4 proceeding to web ,mobile aspects. in this way, most programmers who learnt how to program by writing
console apps , would be more comfortable writing gui apps if they know the library for the gui is included in the language of their choice.

when one wants to display some gui and needs to go fishing for some library somewhere it increases the resentment and disgust for the particular language.

languages with inbuilt gui's ar just mor appealing. this is one reason languages without easy gui support may be unattractive to those spoiled by everything within reach languages.
