Yeah programmers make money regardless of the language, its all about the solution not really the language

True

robby1:
Well, people don't pay for programming languages. You get paid for what you can deliver with your knowledge. If you are talking about getting jobs in Scala, then I'll agree that it might be a bit challenging. But be rest assured, if a company wants to hire you to program in Scala, they'll be willing to pay a lot.
On the other hand, if the client is specifying a language for me to build a freelance project, I'll be worried cos it would seem to me that they want to give it to someone else to support so I wont be able to get support and maintenance fees.


Also, maybe I should also mention that though there are libraries that will make it easier to do so with Scala if you so wish Scala doesn't require you to relearn html, css and javascript. Scala is just the back end bit for your server side code.
i.e.
PHP -> HTML -> CSS -> JavaScript
Scala -> HTML -> CSS -> JavaScript

So, really, it's up to one to learn what they think will benefit them the most, but if I may say, you will maintain relevance in the market and gain a reputation if you stay ahead of the curve by moving away from saturation. Scala is one language that will help you achieve this.




That's right. Scala has been called Java on steroids. It's both functional and object oriented and it runs on the jvm. It's getting very popular in enterprise because of its functional nature and the fact that you can write less code to do more...

That's your opinion...

You know what you want and I know what I want.

I know of php programmers that earn at least $1million dollars annually "WORKING FROM HOME".

But I don't know of any Scala programmer who makes that much annually "from home".

In your past life Why didn't he commission it

The power plants were completely built in 2007 and 2012.

lol sorry guys gotta go, work just arrived. GodMode try your hands on Processwire trust me you won't regret it..................................assuming you are a OOP Software Developer with love for Design patterns. trust me you won't regret. besides Impresspages is quite limited I wrote a whole tutorial for them http://okeowoaderemi.com/articles/posts/creating-impresspages-themes/

I focus on only wordpress.. I don't bother myself about other CMS.

Wordpress is object oriented.

pcguru1:
that's because your knowledge of the market is limited, walk into any Enterprise organization in Nigeria and find out what they use most are either java/.NET either ASP.NET MVC or (Spring/Structs/Grails/Magnolia) the list is long, Oracle,NHibernate,Hibernate PHP is just used for their front public sites. maybe till when PHP can handle async processes is it even possible to create Thread in PHP ?

You can create threads in php...

What organisations

Konga uses magento(PHP)..

That's your opinion of the "market you know"...

The "market I know" has nothing to do with organisations..

pcguru1:
Nope i don't anymore i use Processwire, PHP is the same but Code Architecture is not, try your hands on SymfonyCMS and CiiMS or even Yii you know those languages/platform are matured, but wordPress is terrible for developers but good for users no doubt there are bad java codes too but with PHP it allows a bad developer easily write bad codes. I left ImpressPages community because it was too small i still contribute to them sometimes however processwire makes much more sense for a developer but it still has some things missing. Wordpress is just bad news whoever thought of allowing developers to add hooks and actions anyway must have been high or something its had to debug codes or even trace the hook.

ImpressPages is easily because you know the Events are only called in a file, Processwire at least you those Hooks comes from the Module itself and not just anywhere. i don't bash languages for no reason i do when i find faults. I can write a book on how bad wordpress is, had fights with so many Wordpress devs abroad because of the way they code.

That's your opinion...

I mean the site in your signature uses impressPages..

robby1:
You can do everything you can do with php. At the moment I'm working on a web application with it. You should look up "Play! Framework". If your motivation for learning a language is simply how much you can make, then this is even more reason to adopt scala as there aren't a lot of scala developers so you can make some dough from supporting the website..

the amount of scala programmers does not matter... I don't know a thing about scala but what I know is that the language doesn't have the market that those languages have.

Its about the market and what people are interested in buying

pcguru1:
No i didn't call PHP CMSs crap i only called WordPress Crap i use a PHP CMS for my site and i also contribute codes to them, its only WordPress architecture i have a problem, besides no language is crap in the real sense.

You use impressPages(PHP CMS) for your site. Php is the same anywhere... There's nothing wrong with wordpress.

The title of this thread is misleading...

pcguru1:
GodMode am curious how did you come about this fact, no developer would utter such words, you do know you can work remotely from here abroad incase you are thinking only about the local confines of Nigeria. they are other languages apart PHP out there which earn money.

U call CMS made with php crap....

I work from home in Nigeria... No language can earn coders as much as Java, php, Js and html/css in Nigeria.

Those are the languages to learn no matter what part of the world the programmer lives...

toshodei:
THERE IS A SUCH THING AS DRAG & DROP SOFTWARE FOR ANDROID PROGRAMMING!!!. There are many. 1 is MIT APP INVENTOR ~> http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/

Okay...

If u can't learn how to code then android programming is not for you..

No such thing as drag and drop software for android programming.

U can design by drag and drop but that's just laziness.

No...

It doesn't put money in people's pockets...

[color=#603466]Huh?? So the data/storage centers are run free-of-charge?

Besides, what has being developed got to do with bankruptcy? Bankruptcy is no respecter of person, country or development. Go and ask Greece, Spain and the likes of them heading in that direction[/color]

I mean developed in terms of long term projects, value and its advantages to their cause.

Data/storage center are run by technical personnel who just have to ensure the systems are operating smoothly and the data collected does not exceed storage capacity....

A school that promotes the use of "ass" and "yansh" is not a school...


This is a rumour until it is verified.

Wals234:
[color=#603466]Yes, I agree with the monitoring part... But do you know the cost (monetary and human resource) of monitoring more than 6 billion people daily? I'm sure any country would go bankrupt in a year or two if it did that![/color]

A country can't go bankrupt doing that...

This is why they are developed... Cost should never be compared with a Cause.

All they need are data/storage center that can store billions of info daily.. There are already data/storage center around the world.

[color=#603466]We make CIA and Mossad (zionists) waaaaay more smarter and influential than they really are by ALWAYS pointing fingers at them for every wrong happening in the land. CIA-this, CIA-that: Hope you all know they are humans too and they don't have an unlimited budget to monitor the entire world?!

I understand they are sophisticated, but always blaming them for the wrongs in your country is akin to a lazy person's way of thinking. When are WE going to take the full responsibility for OUR OWN shortcomings? Even if BH was thought out by them in the first place (a very doubtful and big IF), it is still OUR problem and we have to solve it!

Only the weak will keep pointing a finger at others for the crap happening around him/her forgetting that three(3) fingers are pointing right back at you-know-who. This is OUR problem, not the CIA's nor Mossad; nor is it the North's or as some would want to claim without any credible evidence, Buhari's, but OURS collectively as Nigerians. The earlier we take this stand the better [/color]

Unlimited budget to monitor the world

What do u think the internet is for
What do u think the phone u're using is for
What do u think your HDTV is for
What do u think your gadgets are for


U are already been monitored...

What's your problem with php

teejaycombo:
I understand but someone charged me 50k for a dynamic wordpress site. I want to know what the general going rate is for such.

If you are not lazy and you're going to be the "site admin" then 25K/annum is the highest you should spend if you use DEDICATED HOSTING to do it yourself.

Or at least 5K - 10K/annum if you use NORMAL HOSTING

Or at the very least 2K/annum if you use SHARED HOSTING...

Imagine paying someone 50K for your "lack of knowledge" then he/she pays for SHARED HOSTING (2K per annum) that's 48K profit... . then imagine doing this to 10 people (like you) monthly
