It's Amazing in 2021 that Nigerian Youth believe cheap cliches. The Youth are Never the Future of Any country. The Future is doing things Rightly. If you have a legion of hoodlums as youth that is a future of crime. The Youth do not naturally provide a better future because they are youth like most people think.
Saying and believing the Youth are the right future is poor thinking. Nigerian Youth love to pretend they are different from their Corrupt leaders but their Corrupt leaders kept the Greed and corruption in Nigeria while the youth are using iPhones and computers to defraud Americans and British via the Internet. From Nairaland the way people spew abuses at females, different religions and ethnic groups it goes to show the " sophisticated" ( because they use Smartphones ) are no different from the illiterate in the village who believes people from other ethnic groups are evil while their own ethnic group is pure. Such silly thinking but that is how 79 percent of Nairalanders think.
The Future belongs to the righteous.
The Righteousness of a people exhalted a Nation.

How do you do this online please?

boscho:
Why is the government not sanctioning these GNLD and NEOLIFE SCAMMERS ? They are getting more courage to deceive people everyday. Or is there a platform where they could be reported ?

I'm not a troll. Nigerian men should stop sleeping around and keep their virginity for the right woman.

Did I troll you?

I am all for self learning and forgetting about these shitty bootcamps

ThankYouGod:
They make the offer attractive by saying:

1. You don't need any tech experience to join
2. You can attend the school anywhere in the world because it's online.
3. You can apply even if you don't have a laptop. They promise to provide laptop.
4. You will be employable in a year.
5. Your age does not matter.
6. It's tuition free
7. They will get you job after the training
8. You only pay back when you're employed.
9. They are affiliated with a recognised university to issue you a certificate.
10. You don't need degree to join.

Who wouldn't apply seeing the above and the only barrier is paying #10k or $20?

Thousands of people will pay that amount to register. It's not limited to only Nigerians.

Can they get job for everyone if they admit everyone? No! They will just take in few people. So, bulk of their income will come from the registration fees.

TLDR:
1. Fullstack developer bootcamp
2. Harvard CS50x courses
3. TeachyourselfCS or OSSU or P1XT
4. Read the docs
====

If I was to start all over (from a fullstack developer point of view) I'll do a Fullstack Developer bootcamp from any of the courses with good reviews to just get an idea of how all the pieces come together to work.

After that I'll go asynchronous with my learning pattern. Two parallel streams of learning, "middle-down" and "middle-up". That bootcamp course may pretty much put me at the middle, where I'll know so much to get stuff done and to fuel my desire to know how stuff really works under the hood. I don't want to be the guy that doesnt know how/when to use recursion over a loop iteration.

// for middle-down
// objective: to deepen my understanding of the fundamentals that hardly change
======
I'll take all the Harvard CS50x courses
Then I'll take one of any of the following:
1. TeachyourselfCS
2. OSSU
3. P1XT

// for middle-up
// objective: to broaden my understand and keep up with changing technologies
// this will take a lifetime so there's no end to this phase
=====
I'll focus on reading the docs for all the techs I was exposed to in the bootcamp. So this is where I'll dig into the docs for the following
MDN, NodeJS, Express, Fastify, React, Next, Git, Openshift, Postman, Docker and so on.
Its also in this phase I'll read some good books like EloquentJS, Code Complete 2 and the YDKJS series.


There's so much involved in being a programmer but we tend to focus on a small aspect of it: coding... I may never be able to fully explain how I dislike the term 'coder'.

In the corporate world you'll quickly get to a point where you spend less than half of your 40-hour week actually writing code and more of that time:
* in meetings (some coulda just been an email),
* planning the development of features,
* peer reviewing PRs,
* writing tests with a decent amount of coverage,
* setting up delivery pipelines,
* having to triage defects,
* writing documentations
