And thats exactly what i explained. If you have a remote database that has remote access, say online and you want the database to be online then fine. You would still need the driver anyways. However, you have to use derby! Thers no 2 ways, you need an embedded database! Go do some little exercises with derby and then when you are good enough with it, you implement in into your application.

How does your application connect to the database currently? sounds like you already have the driver!

YOu mean what has happened? .lol They have all drop down their ideas and disappeared. Thats what happens on NL. My advice, if you are serious about an opensource project, start one, Make something work and then put in a public repository for contributions

HAhha am confused! I thought u are the one in the panel and not dhtml or dualcore!. Why do you want to check their sites out for 'bugs'. Also, if you read what dhtml wrote few posts above, he said he has done no work on those sites. He is busy with his framework, please do correct me if am wrong!

So would advise you to face ur forum/board/village and finish it properly rather than trying to find some bugs for someone! I can stil see a couple of bugs. Also, you still need to do A LOT of work on your design. You can see you have a lot so get to work!

Don't take this the wrong way tho. Just an advise from an invisible friend. .

Am confused!

YOu probably talking about an embedded database. I think you can find some info in the link above. However, the way it works is,

- you develop your application
- you download and install a database driver, most people use the jdbc
- you use an embedded database(obviously you gotta create it first), most people tend to use derby as an embedded database
- connect to it and use it the way you want to

Have a look at this topic --> https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-737287.0.html

Cool. Goodluck!

To be implemented in what language? Are you looking for a volunteer for a voluntary job or your gonna pay! Do you have some code down already or you want everything to be developed from scratch? You need to give as much info as possible as long as ur privacy isin't invaded!

Ok use this to learn Java --> http://www.fayimora.com/Books/Introduction.to.Java.Programming.Comprehensive.Version.pdf

I have books for C++ but cant recommend any, it not my line. However,when you have the name of a book recommended by a trusted human then buzz moi!

Errm its a private lib Tell me what you want and i move it to an accessible location and make available a link for u

Have you used SQL before? If you have then take a look at this ----> https://github.com/fayimora/Database-Practice/blob/master/src/Apptest.java

This could also be helpful --> https://github.com/fayimora/Database-Practice/blob/master/src/localhostTester.java

Such book ain't gonna fit an email brov, What do you want and amma check ma library!

the best image format for web pages is "gif " format. i notice that jpeg is good but, load for when loading.

Warning :  be careful how you combine and use this image formats!.

Think about it?.

Seriously?

[quote author=yawa-ti-de link=topic=746365.msg9030048#msg9030048 date=1314571833]I think the best policy is to use the best format for the job.[/quote]Simple!

@OP
You have to use the best format for the job. Lemme just give you some stuffs I know about colors. .

For starters, use gif for animated images. Secondly, since gif has only 255 colors, you shouldn't use them for photos! You tend to loose an enormous amount of the photo's quality! However, a gif image can also be used for an icon of some background image that you want to keep repeating itself over x-pixels

So the question is, what format do you use for photos? Well I think it should be obvious that you use JPG for photos. Cant really say more! Finally, my best is the png. no matter how you compress it, you dont loose quality like you do on jpg(those that use photoshop shud kno what am talking about).

So it all boils down to using the right image for the job. Personally, i kinda like staying away from gifs. . .

I read some article somewhere sometime about images, tryna locate it and when i do i wud give u a link to it.

yaay!!! vote Fayimora for president moderator, lol

mr ax242001. . . . . . . really? i mean seriously??

Well you cant blame me since i wasnt mod then.Can't figure out what happened!

Life doesn't work like that. You give out a specification/requirement document and get what you want. Don't just take any software from anywhere!

yope start with w3schools

It looks like you are just getting started with the site! Firstly the pictures, you need to use better images. The layout is good enough but you need to work on the design and content.

The bad part is that Nigerians don't even know how to protest! Here in the UK, a simple protest solves a lot of problems. Just like omo_to_dun said, the same thing here, they complain that the fees are much, the economy is selfish and bad blah blah blah. I just shut my mouth up and wonder what they would say when they go to Nigeria.

For the 6-7yrs I spent in Nigeria, God knows the only thing that kept me there was the fact that I loved the people and the experience! Very nice and very wicked.lol! serzly, i love Nigerians mehn, simply AWESOME! However, I had to deal with those bloody things called mosquitos, i had to deal with some very ignorant assholes and lots more.

I joined a group of Nigerians last yr and we ended up being banned from the library for 2 weeks, TWICE. hahahha, You know the funniest part of the story, people missed us!

So if Nigerians have all these wonderful mixed qualities, why exactly is that country not going any further? I really dont understand! I mean money aint no problem for that country so what exactly is the problem? Is it just the political aspect?

They really need to stand up and improve, in health and technology specifically!

Thanks!

Without electricity, do you think Studying computer science would be easy? You need ELECTRICITY and AFAIK, when electricity is fixed in that country, a lot would fall into place!

Anyways you should remember that UK is over 200 yrs old, lol and Nigeria is just about 50 ryt?

lets send you to the webmasters section and see what they think of it!

Lol seriously for the past 2 hrs been wondering where i shud move this topic to

Awesome ryt?

Post what you have here!!!! Thats the only way I can see what you are doing wrong!

put this in a file and try it!

<?php
echo "HELLO!";
?>

what did you save the file as? I mean the file extension

Please gurus in the house.don't mind my typing from phone[/quote]And whers the code you tried?

design one

If you read through the posts PROPERLY, it has already been stated that Java is the language to be used for implementation

Are you sure you know what you are saying? SQL query and you talking about prompting? please check your question,

I think you replied to the wrong topic!

@ mobinga, cool!!

You are my second nominee.

My aim of starting this thread is cos am tired of hearing all u self acclaimed programmers blabbing with  various programming languages. Earn the respect you so deserve by showing us your works. If i see your works, hell, i can confidently recommend you to Mr president. Globally, programmers are well respected.

Lemme guess, you know nothing about programming or you are a n00b. Hmmm am not surprised.

A few questions for you:

--> Your blabbing about making something for the public, do you really think everyone has the time to manage such? I have developed 5 websites now trust me I don't even have the time to manage my own personal site(if u think am jokin check the last time i managed it). I have others things to do! Now how do you want such a person to have time for a public site that you supposedly want to 'enjoy'.

--> This is more of a suggestion. How about you go learn how to develop soft/web and i would see what you can develop in 5yrs! Am not undermining you but you won't understand if you aren't in that place.

--> Do you really think that if a developer doesn't develop something for the public then he ain't good? Not all developers develop for the public at 'random'. From my time on NL I believe most NL programmers develop for themselves. Learning new stufs, developing utilities to help them some way or the other.

On a final note, you said you nominate *dhtml and your reason is because 'He designed something called a framework (i dont know jack about it) and it looks promising from the gists i hear here'! Really? lmaoo please no offence to *dhtml just that your reason is funny!


Wouldn't wanna say who the best programmer on Nl is but i have MY best programmers! I don't pick best programmers because they developed one software or the other!

OK here we go, list is random pls

1 -> omo_to_dun.
2 -> Mobinga
3 -> dell_net
4 -> Beaf
5 -> segsalerty (currently offline on NL, busy with something!)

Here is something else:

students = array_to_hold_students
options = array_to_hold_types_of_iceream_available
boolean done = true or false if there is a next question
constant MAX = number_of_times_questions_would_be_asked
questions = array_to_hold_questions,
result = map_to_hold_questions_and_their_answers
Integer counter =0;

chances -> generate random number between 1 and MAX

while counter is not equals to chances
choose question_random_number
select a question at random using the question_random_number

Output: Print out question

generate student_random_number
select a student at random using student_random_number

Input: retrieve answer to question
boolean valid = validate_input(answer)

if valid is_true
save the question and answer into the map
else
Output: error message

goto: 11
counter = counter + 1

end while

Output: result
Output: Bye message
exit program


function boolean validate_input(answer)
for each option
if answer is an option
return true
end for
return false
end validate_input

Ok i think am getting tired of this thing! Anyways you can edit as you like. By now i assume you already get whats happening. Also be careful with the indentation as its matters, a lot.
