What do you expect from a rented crowd

2023, Nigerians should vote for the labour party to get rid of these old corrupt politicians.

Vote wisely, the hardships of the Buhari regime should teach us to shun tribalism and religious supremacy. Vote Obi-Datti for President.

Meanwhile, some Africans are worshipping and defending the British monarchy on Nairaland as if their lives depends on it.

Shameless female beggars are already opposing her up there, everybody man or woman loves a partner that pulls their own weight financially, a woman that is self independent financially would surely be valued by men.

Nawa o, unfortunately, this sense of entitlement is prevalent among the female folks, let her take the child to the biological father.

This story is becoming somehow, from the posts I read from punch,vanguard and now this, e be like salt and pepper don de enter inside.

Avast:
You don't need Data Structures and Algorithms before you can join, just get yourself prepared to read and do research. That is just what ALX is all about.

Doesn't they give enough lecture materials to their students?

KrazyDave16:
Forgot to add that you need some DSA knowledge.

I just saw this now, what's DSA?

Emmamay10:
God save the King. Russia Federation will never achieved its demonic mission in Ukraine. The will of innocent people that have been killed in Ukraine will always prevail.

the war Russia is winning already by seizing lands from Ukraine?

Wow, Nigerian youths taking over

KrazyDave16:
Yeah, just install wsl.
It won't be the "real" thing but you'd be able to practice with it till you ready to flash a distro of choice

thanks

This useless woman called Lolita Onochie is back.

Bontafa:
I will know how you will explain to market women that the ApC that made ordinary egg from 10 naira in 2015 to 100 naira in 2022 is coming again.

With change

please,quote and expose that iamatiku guy that is pretending to be an obi supporter to spread tribalism against obi.

I support her stance on the British. Africans needs to know their history.

KrazyDave16:
It's an editor that comes with most Linux distros

Though the Full-Stack track, is it the one they partnered with Udacity?

so does it mean I can use VI or emacs to learn Linux programming on a windows operating system? I'm already downloading the books that you recommended, I'll start reading them later tonight.
(2) Yes, it's the full stack track that they partnered with Udacity.

Vicky2k:
Yes I know personally a lot of people who recently finished the 8 Weeks Virtual Assistance Program but not the 12 Months Software Engineering one which I am doing. Every one who finishes any of the ALX program gets added to the Room. Besides the Skills acquired The Room in my own opinion is the main thing one should aspire to enter

thanks, everyone keep saying that the program is too fast paced,how have you been surviving it?

KrazyDave16:
Currently in it (last month intake), I must say it's a bit fast-paced, what with the way the tasks are being rushed(?) and what not.
But still, if you're gonna survive, you'd need to be able to google up solutions to problems, ask questions to your peers and the community whenever you're stuck.

Tasks are given daily with a 24hr deadline but they don't"expire".
What happens is the score are reduced (full marks first 24hrs, 65% score if tasks are not completed, 50% if you enter the second deadline which is 48hrs after the task was launched).

There are days where you get no tasks but will be encouraged to join your peers for study sessions (I personally use these days to cover concepts I copy-pasted without understanding or rest my head as the ones I've joined, nobody knew what they did during the week).

Since you're starting, I'd advise you get yourself some books/documentations to read or you'd feel like the resources aren't enough (they aren't) and get this feeling that it's not beginners friendly.
Here are some books I used to help myself;

1. An introduction to GCC by Brian Gough.
That's for the C compiler, you'd learn to use the commands to compile your code. You'd also need to look up GDB (that's the debugger)

2. The C programming language 2nd edition. Book is old, only reason I'm suggesting it is because some blocks of code will fail if you try compiling em, should help somewhat in your googling skills while debugging.
OR
If you're not in the mood for that, get C in a nutshell and/or practical C programming (both are O'Reiley books)

3. For bash, read BASH guide for beginners by Machtelt Garrels.
It's beginners friendly and has examples. Best way you learn is to practice with the codes.

4. Linux... go with The Linux Command Line A complete Introduction by William Shotts.
Beginners friendly and it has a guide to using Vi editor.

With that being said, I'd advise you to practice instead of waiting for a task to drop, join an active community either on WhatsApp or Slack and see if you can get either Emacs or Vi on your local machine and practice with it.

thanks for the explanation, please what's the meaning of vi?

NB: I was accepted into the full stack developer program not the software engineering program.

TastyFriedPussy:
shebi you asked for what to expect?
Ehenn, I said you should expect to give up after just 3 months there.

Why? Is the program not up to date and useful?

TastyFriedPussy:
expect to give up after just 3 months or less, simple

you're not been helpful with these comments, please, be more specific.

Fourpockets:
You mean that robotic type program

bros, I just got accepted, please enlighten me on what to expect.

Have anybody passed the alx program? Share your experience

Thinkam:
Why didn't you ask the question why she loved killing armless people and pillaging resources, God bless Uju anya



I'm not even Igbo, Yoruba.as like you are shamele.ss
You are clearly not a student of history, everything about you is shameless dick-measuring, please look for your fellow tribalistic miscreants..

Go and ask the Indians, Kenyans, Southafricans what they think about Queen Elizabeth.



Yes I am Igbo, my name is Nnamdi Kanu, happy now?



Well she'll be dead, so she wouldn't care..

Same thing about the queen, whatever anyone says now about her, doesn't matter, she's dead



I told you I am a Igbo man from Abia state, my name is Nnamdi Kanu



A thief shouldn't be hailed for using his loot to his own benefit, that'll be morally bankrupt

She's in the US, obviously she was one of those families that benefited from evacuation after the war, like Zain asher and ejiofor...

you forgot to add the Irish.

Sick country, this is the type of nonsense we would be facing under Atiku, he's an alleged homosexual.

Buhari told the British prime minister that IPOB are the ones stealing Nigeria's oil through bunkering only for the chief of naval staff to expose the NNPC for it. Now they don't even know how much oil that they're really producing, some guys would make huge money by inflating the cost of installing these new meters, even the meters might soon be tampered with anyway to give non accurate readings.

APC and nepotism are like Siamese twins. The next president should even close down such useless bodies, they're just another avenue for wasting money and increasing cost of governance, what's the role of the ministry of national orientation versus this one?

How is this news? Why is it on the frontpage?
