WHether I be Jesus or Bill Gates, you and your friend should take your play elsewhere... It's not so big a request

No associate Mr cakephp the scammer with me, my man. I don talk say I no go derail the thread already

ABCthings:
guy you be JJC, many! I repeat many! people have given more awesome advice but nothing ever happens.

Everything in Nigeria is rocket science.,

Okay na.That one no be my headache. So long as him account dey ring life goes on.

AududuNine11:


This life just get as e be...

You know, I have really been thinking what if I had just kept mute and not tell not to talk of post this LH stuff on nairaland... Perhaps,there won't have been a mad rush for questions... I won't have been struggling with questions with people like Micahdavid... Perhaps, I won't have had to lose sleep just to justle for questions at 1 a.m... perhaps, there won't have been an issue of people picking questions out of content tool... Perhaps, I wouln't have met idiots like cakephp... Just maybe just maybe...

But, then, I just have to look at the bigger picture. I want to believe this same opportunity that this idiot called cakephp is rubbishing, most people are really hanging on to it and have better the lot of many, even though the influx of idiots like cakephp have affected smooth sailing for me on LH...

To worsen the matter, you both could not just respect yourself and refrain yourselves from derailing this thread with your obscenities...

Is it so big a request to make for you folks to stick to the purpose of this thread and stop posting obscenities?

Make una use una head... You don't need to be told what to do

Calm down OP. You no be Jesus. As long as cakephp the scammer posted a legit way I couldn't help but affirm it because I'm on the watch out for him in case he tries to swindle an unsuspecting, innocent nairalander

In this life you have to be ruthless and hardened. The only good you can do is being a philanthropist, because if you show people your way them fit sh1t on am. Even Bill Gates didn't let anyone know his codes. Lol. His parents were suing people who tried to copy his software, steadily. Plenty court cases. After he don make am he come dey give people money and that's okay.

Cakephp:

Lol you have made someone's day. I know the wheel Barrow pusher @ crownedrookie will be very happy to receive your mention.

@ Riele is a grey headed man still doing scam business, you better don't fall a victim. Don't say I didn't warn you.

And you're such a weakling! Why do you have to apologize to the primate because he called you to order? Lol
You do not owe him anything.

How far have you gone with the stuff?
Has your verification video been approved?
Give me feedback if you need assistance.

Cakephp my man calling me a weakling. Okay na
I can only laugh.

The OP was right though. Make we no derail thread. We fit block on another thread but no think say you fit run me street o

AududuNine11:
It's just a pity that one really has no control over a thread.

A thread that was meant to serve a good course, you and your idiotic fellow named cakephp decided to turn to a porn thread?

Sorry OP.

Cakephp the exposed scammer(many thanks to crownedrookie my man and the riele girl),
you should actually consider creating a thread about your porn business ideas

The WHO is incompetent and led by a Communist loyalist lobbied into power by China. They helped China cover up the true extent and fatality of this disease and were even late to declare it a pandemic.

Same WHO is telling us not to wear face masks but healthcare workers are allowed to. I mean what the fvck! If face masks don't help healthy people why do healthcare workers use them in the first place? What bullsh1t!

The WHO has been politicized and this defeats the very essence of it's existence and it should henceforth, be disbanded.

I hereby advise Mr. Trump to go ahead and terminate the WHO fundings and sanctions should be imposed on secretive China by the West, for misleading the world and landing us in this debilitating catastrophe.

Cakephp:
Let me also reveal another way you can make money online through URL shortening .

Before i continue I'm sure you've been seeing those guys advertising porn contents on every posts on front page? What those guys are doing is called URL shortening .

STEP 1: go to any of these paid URL shortening websites and create a user account.
STEP 2: link your PayPal account
STEP 3: start generating and sharing your URLs to target audience.

You make money through clicks. Some companies pay as high as $0.03 per click! 1,000 clicks will give you $30.
Cool business right?

You can place your URLs anywhere and generate money through clicks.
Tons of people are already into this business like that guy that use to advertise porn contents on every posts on front page.

Good luck.

Keep the ideas coming

You don't mean it!! Adonbelieveit.

It's legit, actually. The verification video must show your face though

I usually don't do comparisons but sometimes comparisons and competitions can help us grow. Interestingly, the American equivalent of Nairaland, Reddit, started up the same year as nairaland. That's 2005. Well, today, Reddit is light years ahead in everything; talk of functionality, user experience, moderation, security and mobile application.

Well, Nairaland, let's see, uhm, recently they did some work on the UI but I think it can be better.

The text editor? is awful especially when you quote someone else's message. Some colourful demarcation would be better I think.

All subsequent quotes can be tucked in the main post quoted, like parent and child quotes...just like in Reddit. It prevents derailing from the main topic of discourse.

An actual, functional moderator bot to filter out spam and annoying adverts not just for ban.

A DISLIKE button for god's sake! Some as$holes need to know they're posting sh1t and if you get up to say, a hundred dislikes on a post, you get banned for a while.

A drop-down menu is better that the FT, FS stuff, I mean I have a hard time figuring out what they mean, ffs. An actual creative nav bar would be great.

What about an actual app huh? Allergic to that?

Then again, I'm not going to tell anyone how to run their business. I might as well want to build a forum to rival Nairaland someday. So, Nairaland staying archaic would be to my advantage. Uhm...okay that's enough...errm..where are the ugly green emojis again? Oh there they're... I'll grab the cool one

You know what? This should actually be a paid survey. I'm not giving anyone free ideas. I still got a ton of them and if the CEO needs them tell him to holla so we can cut a deal. I have some cool dynamic functionality ideas I can't wait to start building

[b]HOW TO CHECK RUNNING TIME OF YOUR SCRIPT[\b]
After writing a long script, it is a good practice to check the running time of your script with numbers of input for optimization. There is a module in python for this purpose called cProfile, so let write some code and check the running time

import cProfile

def counter():
    count=0
    for count in range(10000):
        count+=1
    return count
    
if __name__== "__main__" :
    cProfile.run("counter()" )

Check the output in the pic below


let define those column

ncalls : numbers of calls made by the function
tottime : total time taken for the function to excecute
percall : tottime/ncall
cumtime : commulative time for all the calls made on the function
percall : quotient of cumtime divided by primitive calls
filename lineno(function) : filename is the name of the file(eg test.py), lineno(eg
lineno for import cProfile is 7), function is the name of function

Nice one.

Hello.

What tools do you use for UI/UX design?

Also how's the learning path like?

soleexx:



Absolutely Bro! I will always advice any one new to Web Development to try and learn The web program 100℅ and also Graphics 100℅... That's the only way you can bring out a creativity in your designs...


Web design is all about Creativity!

I agree.
Graphic design is really powerful, not just in web dev but also in apps, games, and even data visualization. UX/UI designers do a lot of work and earn a lot as well.

I was a fan of Web Development for decades now.. I finally study Computer Science and I got all the chance and motive I needed to be a developer...

Firstly I knew I couldn't do these alone.. So I search all around for an expert and mentor... I got one..
Then I started with HTML for a month
CSS for a month
JavaScript for 2weeks
Graphics design for 3weeks
PHP for months
Database for months..

Now I'm a certified FrontEnd Web Developer
And I'm proud of my Digital skills


I will advice if you wanna learn web Development

Try to always build from scratch

Cool pages

Your graphic design expertise came into play here, I guess?

Who knows where I can download data to use for tableau practice??
Or if anyone can upload a set of data to download

kaggledotcom

RemiAbdulSamad:
Hey bro am just seeing this now. Am also using airtel network, no qualms. Here are my suggestions.

1. The reason why the text is coming above the picture is because in your codes it's obvious the text comes before the image. Now to make the text come after the image you need to float the text to right and after floating ensure to clear your float. Because by default the text is being floated to the left. This is what I mean--

Target the paragraph containing the text, you can give it a class name. e.g sample-text. Now create a CSS rule like >>>

Now apply the above rule with media queries. like this

@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.sample-text {float:right;}

This means that once the width becomes 600px like the size of a smartphone, the text will automatically float to the right, coming under the image.

And yes, don't forget to clear your float.

2. Regarding the size. Using media queries you can use also reduce the size of the card. I believe both the card and product details are in a container, all you need to do is to reduce the container size and also don't use px when setting width, try and use percentages.

e.g

Assuming the container housing the image and product details has a class of container-div. You can also use media queries, something like

create the CSS rule for the class.

@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.container-div {
width:70%;
add some margin and padding to make it look dope. and yes, don't forget to use box-sizing:border-box;


Hope I answered your questions. If you don't understand, I can write the codes in my editor, see how it work and send it to you.

Cool.

I've watched Brad do something like this in his CSS crash course video

RemiAbdulSamad:


I swear MDN frustrates me sometimes and that what led me to settle down with w3schools in the first place.

And bro you are goddam right, am actually new to programming language and am really having a tough time. Now how long did it took you to understand JS

Like I said, I started with Python and I'm now learning JS while doing projects in Python. JS is not really challenging for me though because I've had the basics down with Python. It's just basically the same thing so I kind of sped through it to get to the unique parts of JS; Events, DOM, etc.

For you though, you'd have to take your time to understand the basics. There's no point rushing. You listed all those amazing resources earlier. I'd say follow them religiously. Learn and relearn. If you cannot handle JS at first, you should maybe look into python because it's the language mostly recommended for beginners as it's easier to learn the core concepts with it.

RemiAbdulSamad:


Oh!! MDN. I hardly use the site, I prefer W3schools instead. They do provide detailed explanation nonetheless.

With regards to Brad videos, I think his best videos are the crash courses and the non-technical videos. Guys like NetNinja videos are more detailed than Brad's. You can also check out Kelvin Powell and Julio Codes, they offer practical and step by step videos.

And how can you describe your experience with JS. Am kinda finding it difficult to grab, got some tips to share

cc : Grandlord, Taofeekdboy

I get it that MDN can make you bang your head against the wall several times but I sort of like learning the hard way

I just figured out this is your first time learning an actual programming language because HTML and CSS are not really programming languages, so yes, you'll have some difficulty catching up. Well, JS is a good language but I started with python and I'd say it was easier understanding the basics of programming(variables, data types, conditionals, loops, functions, objects, classes etc) with it.

I was here too but I finally decided to go the way of web apps development first.

I think it's a lot easier to learn and also really versatile. In addition, it would be much easier to transcend from web dev into mobile. As a matter of fact, hybrid mobile apps can be built using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Furthermore, to develop a unique, profitable mobile app takes months and lots of money.

I'm looking to learn Kotlin for mobile dev. when I gain a strong foothold on web dev. I have a couple of cool start-up ideas

RemiAbdulSamad:
Yea, the dude didn't answered the question but at least he provided some helpful learning resources. I was about referring you to Brad video about web development roadmap for 2020 when I saw your post. You can also check out CodeStackr Web Development Practical Roadmap 2020.

As for me, am a self taught front end web developer and here is how I got started.

Right from onset, I love design and I knew I wanted to be a front end web developer building and designing sites and web apps.

I searched online for how to become a front end web developer and I was welcomed by answers suggesting that I learn HTML, CSS and JS. I also meet some pro wen developers during a particular Google Developers Fest I attended and I was told to learn HTML, CSS and JS if I want to be a front end web developer.

Now, having know what I need to learn, the next thing is to get learning resources. Coming from a non-computer science background and with no cash for coding bootcamp, I decided to teach myself coding.

I start by downloading w3schools offline version, ebooks and some video tutorials and courses on HTML, CSS and JS worth over 300GB.

After getting the learning resources, the next thing is to get my hands dirty and start learning.

Firstly, I started with HTML. HTML is f**king, oh sorry, I mean pretty simple. In less than 2 weeks I was done with HTML. Note: if you are about to learn HTML, just focus on the basics, understand them and build some simple stuff. Even if it look shitty, just put your HTML knowledge to practice.

Secondly, after I was done with HTML, I was eager to lay my hands on CSS. And yes, CSS is super awesome and beautiful. It brought life and energy to my shitty HTML pages. HTML is super big and it took me sometime to master it, but it was fun and interesting. CSS including advanced CSS and Responsive Design took me 3months.

While learning CSS well enough I started building some projects including replicating some designs I saw on dribbble.

After learning CSS, I proceeded to learning a CSS preprocessor (Stylus, Less and Sass, I chose Sass, don't ask me why). A CSS preprocessor makes your CSS super dope and it also adds superpower to it and in fact, it can make your CSS fly, yes it give them wings.

Not only did I learn a CSS preprocessor, I also choose a CSS framework too and that's where bootstrap comes in. Bootstrap is cool, I love it. It make my CSS a while lot better and it's easier to learn. Actually, there are many CSS frameworks but I decided to chose bootstrap due to it's popularity and a while lot of coys and developers are using it and not only that, most front end developer jobs I have seen so far requires knowing it.

After completing my CSS journey, I moved to learning JS. I just started learning JS and it ain't funny but am trying to grab it. I have some some courses and ebooks am going through and I hope I get better at it. Recently, I read it somewhere online that jQuery too ain't bad so I after am done learning JS. So once am dome with JS, I will be learning jQuery and then i will proceed to learn a JS framework but for now I really want to sit my ass down and master JS and also build some mouth breaking and eye popping (am not sure if those words exist, you can google sha) projects.

I've learnt HTML and CSS with Brad's videos and now I'm learning JavaScript from MDN(Mozilla developer network) tutorial articles. I love mdn because their articles are contributions from many top developers and also updated regularly. Also, their projects are dope

I'm looking to polish my HTML and CSS skills with MDN as well. I sort of half-arsed the Brad's video because I didn't think it was detailed enough.

lymelyte:
please i need help from all the gurus here@ejiod, @mcemmy0z, and other gurus.. I have a problem learning and understanding the logic on programming language(python). Memorizing and learning the syntax is no problem for me but the logic.. Please i need a solution to this. How do i go about this.. I need help. Any recommendation would be appreciated..

Mastering the logic of programming is what actually makes you a programmer. Forget syntax, that one's easy to learn.
To hone your skills and creativity, you need to understand how to take a large problem and break it down to smaller bits.

A simple way to understand logic is by looking, learning, thinking and thinking hard. I mean studying as much examples as possible and solving as much exercises as you can. Let the exercises challenge your creative mind. These days I don't even write code on my laptop. I only sit back with a paper, thinking and writing pseudocodes and algos.

Believe me, once you are able to think up a solution, the codes are nothing, you don't even need to know the syntax, you'll learn as you code.

So many driven contributors. Cool.

Anyone on here taking up challenges on Kaggle?

Taofeekdboy:
To get started, I am a Graphic Designer and was tired of doing one skill, I venture into programming.

I started learning Python which took me 3 weeks to master all the basics, then I was like is that all?. I made a research on mobile development and web development, opted for web development, decided to go for Django because of its heavyweight and full stack development over flask. Well it has been 6 months of learning Django, the learning curve gets deeper everyday and have built alot of projects with Django such as; functional blogs, Super Heros websites I built for my company, colleague management system I built for my company as well.

In between, I was learning Javascript, mastered the basics within a week because of my Python knowledge, I started learning React, I built some websites with Django as my backend, React as my frontend, apps like where you can search for player and team details in the world.

My Learning Curve
Python(Advance python)
Django
JavaScript
React
Angular(little knowledge)
Java(intermediate)

Right now, I am working on an ecommerce website integrated with stripe payment, music app with React and Django.
It was not that easy combining all of this with my job but dedication, passion have made it possible.

All courses I took are from Udemy and Mosh Hamedani, the latter is a guru and a good mentor.

Your approach is similar to mine i.e from backend to frontend. Splendid

Lordpeckxy:
HTML: Started with The sololearn app(very Indepth and interesting), Read lots of PDFs(Including HTML books for Professionals written by the people of stack overflow), used sites like JavatPoint.com to leverage my skills

CSS: Using more of the resources I used earlier to educate my self, started creating static websites, apps and port folios.

JavaScript: Sololeran was there, Videos From Lynda was there, JavatPoint was there, W3school was not excluded, FreeCodeCamp, Good people of StackOverflow. Created I can't count apps and website, became a freelancer, Created PW-Apps, Even the clocking system for examination for my school, e-libriaries etc.

PHP: hahaha, with the help of my gathered resources with the little i learnt, Created a Cloud platform for my dept in skul to facilitate direct Result checking, Created a Secured election web app, Currently building a web app(Generate reports, receipts, get Infos etc) stored in MysQl database based on a contract.
Still: developing my E-commerce system with my own construted server....
Yeah did i forget that I start powering servers.!!
Its been a Journey like wow...
Still aiming for the top(Of course I know there is no top).!!

Impressive step-by-step, project-based approach. Nice one
