jennyff: So it hurts huunnn Am new here and I went over post in this section seeing you everywhere derailing serious threads. People would come looking for help, but you derail with some childish posts. I don't know you and don't care who you are, just thought, let me try on your thread to see how it feels. And guess it hurts, Please grow up.
And by the way, I saw you have something Africod, please know that ur site won't grow by killing nairaland's programming section. Black and flat heads mentality, I know you be one.
zzzzy: well, they can still die. Android is supposedly switching to swift from java. That doesn't mean java would die. But these companies can still shift the language they use.
Who told you android is switching when they haven't even decided.
GoodBoi1: The kind of projects they work on during the six months should give them the experience they need. Do you know what one can achieve in six months intensive study? Don't look at things from the nigerian perspective. Andela maintains the same standards world class software companies overseas. Programming bootcamps in America use 3 months to transform students to industry-ready developers. How much more six months? I've looked at some of their projects on github and I must say that it is not the nigerian child's play projects, they even to work in teams, so imagine what can be accomplished in six months, thereby proving their capability. I don't think Andela uses "frame work of the month" because their technology stacks are stated on their website. Every developer is assigned to one stack probably FOR SIX MONTHS and that's what they will work on.
Pls share the links to some of their github project.
If you think PHP is a horrible atrocity and will die in 5 years time, it implies that you probably haven't actually been keeping up-to-date with the platform. Ten years ago, PHP was indeed a horrible atrocity where most people barely knew what an object was, nobody had heard of unit testing and talking about the concept of "code quality" would have just got you blank stares. Today's PHP has ditched virtually all of the language quirks that gave it its reputation, and the current crop of PHP developers are writing well-tested, well-structured, good quality code. There are a number of very well polished frameworks available that can stand up just fine alongside those in the Node, Python and Ruby ecosystems. Not to mention PHP7. Learn to update you PHP skills.
Eladua: I have been trying to index and search contents of a pdf file with haystack elasticsearch, I have tried the function in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr1b39XMtBQ but no success. I would appreciate if anyone here can help solve this issue. I am kinda new to ES. Thanks
uvalued: well not to join issues sha, when i decided to choose a lang to start, i settled for 3 - java,python,php. but after some comparison from forums etc i settled for php and am glad. however, java is still my target prog to learn which i wiill after understanding OOP which is so nice...
Correct guy...java is so easy to learn after learning php because of oop and similar syntax. You can also try c#, similar to java.
Php is a complete set of tools for anything relating to web development. Gone are the days when Php will die soon. Php lives on for the next 10years. Every database engine today supports Php. When node first came out it seems as if its the next big, but its no where near php achievement.
Even @dhtml18 builds more tools for Php than he does for other lang.
dhtml18: I have a general suggestion - I am thinking that if developers take the initiative and develop cool stuffs based on other platforms and bring it to the awareness of people, it will change the mind of clients that PHP is not necessarily the best language.
