You have only succeeded in restricting yourself to android (that is the only place i know it is called webView).
So you no shine anything, you forget I am a fullstack programmer that work on multiple platforms.

My point remains, you will find it in all the platforms but under different names. On some platforms, you will even hear it called webkit.

You are still a learner jor. Wetin you know. Even in that your android sef, I don extend the normal webkit to youtubevideo player (without the youtube api).
There's Web browser Control in BlackBerry too sef

It might also be a wayward plugin.... Try disabling all plugins and see if the issue persists....

There was this email plugin I had. Anytime I make a post, the way it sends the emails makes my ISP block me for sometime and renders the website inaccessible for a while. Something similar might be your problem.

Can you at the moment use your Nigeria ATM card attached to that USA PayPal account to make payment?
I'm not talking about my card. I'm talking about my PayPal funds. So yes I can, except what I'm paying for exceeds what I have in my PayPal account, then there might be issues.

My point is, if your hosting costs you $100, and I transfer $100 to your PayPal account, you would not have any problem paying

Does your Nigeria PayPal account accept funds?
My PayPal account was created in US so yea I receive funds. Contrary to popular belief:

1. I use my Nigerian card for an account that was created in US and it works as expected
2. I do not use any form of vpn and I'm currently in Nigeria and my account still works

Deposit Money Banks stopped their naira debit cards from dispensing dollars to customers via ATM in foreign countries, as well as disallowed the cards from being used for online and Point of Sale transactions. This affected me today as I was about paying through my card for my website hosting in America. Can anyone advise on the way out please especially those of us who could not do without transacting business online.
You can also try using PayPal

Transfer the money to someone with PayPal funds and in turn they transfer the equivalent to your PayPal account

Okay so I think I understand now..... I use PayPal to pay for hosting, Ads, Fiverr etc

So $5 is always $5

The last time someone paid me to use more than my PayPal funds, I didn't like the debit alert i got AT ALL so I'm sticking to PayPal

gloryz24:
For simple stuff I use Yii (or even CodeIgniter) and for more complex projects I use Laravel. Yii has really nice set of generators so you can generate models quickly and make something really quickly... CodeIgniter is easy to deploy on shared hosting and Laravel is really advanced and powerful framework... I enjoy learning it on LaraCasts.
Is it difficult to deploy a Laravel Project on Shared Hosting ?

Ehm...Ehm..Ehm.
CMS:
1) Drupal: Customization, Custom Theme and Module Development (I got introduced to this beast Framework in 2012 when I interned with an Open source envagelist firm, we deployed an open source school software with Drupal and release it as open source)
2) WordPress: Customization, Custom Theme and Module Development (I can't remember how long I have been using this Engine, but I have developed countless plugins and themes for it, in fact I'm working on a custom theme for a woocommerce site)
FrameWorks:
1) CakePHP: I did say I have a master degree in cakephp from version 2-3, I'v developed more than 10 project with it the past 11 months and still using it to developed a solution for someone.
2) Laravel 4&5 : I abandoned this guy last year due to digression of Cakephp undecided I moved to this Laravel 4 after dumping CodeIgniter did some minor project in team job. Will go back to it in projects I'll be doing alone.
3) CodeIgniter My first PHP framework simple and elegant but too simple to meet my taste of framework left it for Laravel in 2013 (May not go Back it again dunno sha!!!)


I used to believe that before learning Laravel, but now I use more of CakePHP dunno why huh huh huh huh
In my Opinion Laravel is a better CodeIgniter just like C# is a better Java undecided
I don't believe c# is a better Java

Please let us try to show maturity and reduce insults.

Disclaimer: those of you that dont like PHP, please do not come and start throwing insults at anyone here.
For CMS, sadly just WordPress

For Framework well, CakePHP... but I don't really like it again.

I think it would be better if the people under the "PROFESSIONAL CATEGORY" should be given a project, where they all do and show on Github.

This way, the voting would be based on the same project type.

Because some guys might have all just been working on projects for clients and these projects might not be exceptional enough while some others might have even worked on 3D games, so that would definitely get more votes

asalimpo:
Bros, your story still doesnt add up. It smells fishy and i aint afraid to tell you so.
Architecting, then coding, then debugging a very large application takes a freaking long time.
if you worked so long and under intense duress for so long, the client would be in a rush to use his software
not sit down with you, and count the lines using of all methods a tedious method.
Non programmers hav very little interest in code . It's like children who dont like maths seeing maths, it scare them . So this clients interest in counting code lines ... hmmm.

let me give you som info of lines of code:
couchdb- was 20k lines of terse erlang code. It was a game changer
I was reading a blog once by a programmer who wrote an application with 100k lines of code,it took him 10yrs!!
youtube and facebook - yeah, the global phenomenoms. With all the intense grinding work of the founders
were about 10k lines of code at launch!! - think of it.
Facebook - zuckerberg resigned to concentrate full time on building facebook.
with 3 or so other coders and it hand only about 10k lines!!!
Dude.

When you add testing!!! Testing 100k lines of code alone could take you months or more.
Testing every function ...
infact by the time you're pushing out 100k lines of code, you'd hav spawned so many frameworks and libraries from the effort.

Then architecting, remember you can't just hack 100k+ . it must be architected like a professional.
The architectural phase alone would take months.
The testing will take months.
The building will take a few minutes or even up to half an hour.

Doing all these in a few months -- hmm!! It looks exaggerated.
Dude,think again. But i could be wrong.
You might be wrong....

It's not as difficult as you make it seem...

Poor architecture can also increase lines of code.... so the programmer does not necessarily need to spend months planning

Secondly, you make it sound like the programmer knows how many lines of code he's about to write before even embarking on the project

My point is: It's possible to write that much code without even too much planning or testing (Although 100K lines is a lot). I've done A LOT of unplanned projects so I know

This is just the algorithm. The fact and also issue is evaluating if(computer win). This would be a very long method to check if the current winner is the computer. That's wwhere my problem is.


I tried restricting the search to make it detect only horizontal wins and leave out vertical and diagonal and it became a lot faster. But that's not Tic Tac Toe
