Until u realise all the whole libraries of old programming languages are now packed in a box and giving to a machine to learn and understand and even bringing out better solutions and better machines and solving problems that we take humans years to solve in just a matter of seconds. My brother wake up. Things that u can't imagine to be possible in few years ago are presently been surpassed presently.

asalimpo:
a.i nd mL are still in their infancy. As far as computer chips remain d same and operate the way they do, programming will still b done the old fashioned way.
A.i nd mL will still co exist with non ai programming.

The 2 or few lines of code tht does everything for you has to do so piggybacking on millions of lines of code som1 else wrote.

Cloud computing- not every software is online or needs to b online.

Data analysis- not every software is or needs to analyse huge data sets.

Programming is essentially issuing instructions to a computer to execute.
All d instructions you give d computer (the program) cannot be fit into some trendy boxes - mL,ai,cloud computing, data analytics etc.

I agree to all the bold text above.
Cloud computing is more than what u think. When u need to process, store and secure a large number of information and data. U need cloud computing. How many system do u think can process a petabyte of data? None bro.
Also programming been done in d old fashion way. Bro u are still in 20th century, in 21st no its not d same way. Do ur research and contradict me.
And about u fitting all instruction giving to a computer in a box. Its highly possible and already been done. Example. Self driving car using ai. Go and read about it.

My brother ml and ai is new but is the future and present. All ur c and c++ are been done by a machine. Wake up. Even microsoft, google amazon. Are adopting A.I and ML. Pls read and try do a lot more research and u will understand and not left behind in ur believe of old knowledge is still d best.

If u read and try to digest what I wrote and my topic. U will understand that I am not condemning or praising a programming language rather. I am enlightening programmers what is really been popularly sought after and what one need to develop on. But u are just trying to prove here how one need to still learn programming from scratch. Not everyone must and will code in c++ or c. But knowing it is a plus but not a necessity. Rather before any company employ a c++ programmer, they would av consider a data scientist 100times in d present world.
C and C++ are assembly language as someone already said. But do u know u can build an ai, that will comfortably code in c and c++ for u and build a lot of machines, os. So y disturb urself when u can just instruct an ai what u visualise and think. And it will get done for u.

resosdigital:
C and c++ runs the programming world bro.

https://www.toptal.com/c/after-all-these-years-the-world-is-still-powered-by-c-programming

No point arguing cos since it seems u aren't getting my point but I got yours and its not as if I differ entirely with ur point. So I will just put it at a full stop here. But pls do ur research well and maybe one day u will get my point and if that day ever comes, pls feel free to quote me.

resosdigital:
Just to absolutely clear.

You are saying python is a replacement of c++

Sure. Only few people still uses c++. Google it and find out. Try to search top 10 most use programming languages and u will get ur answer. I am not saying its not been used but not as widely as python and java

resosdigital:
You just made my point.

Even core python implementation is written in c++ and yet you say no one uses c++ again.

What do you think the python developers working on new releases are using

Ofcos yes. Y go below what u av an upgrade. Have u seen people degrading the latest os for the old. Nah. Because when the percentage of those that write programming in java and python is very high. Y do one remain with c++

helpsystem:
but do u know python was developed from c++ and that's how all programming languages work. A new language springs up from existing once.

And here is where my topic and curiosity comes in. Y are people afraid to move with d pace at which the world is evolving. Rather we want to still wallow on past glories. Apart from java and python which are still very relevant. All the old languages like basic, c, c,++ e.t.c are going obsolete and that's the fact. No one codes with them. Just as Greek and Latin are the origin of English language and they are obsolete now

resosdigital:
60% of game companies use c++, all windows libraries are c++, the underlying kernel your android phone and most OS use is c++.

If you dont use it doesn't make it obsolete.

Nothing absolutely nothing would ever replace the need for c++ as nothing can match its performance

but do u know python was developed from c++ and that's how all programming languages work. A new language springs up from existing once.

resosdigital:
Very true.

But happens if you get a job to work on the tensorflow project and codebase then what happens

Sorry bro but pls have u ever use tensorflow, and do u understand neural network, ml and ai?
No programmer or data scientist knows it all. And u are not expected to know how to use all languages. Rather in any language u know, make sure u are good in it. Y u can write a software in different languages and depending on which one the programmer is good in

Ofcos no language is a waste. But if u check the history of programming, u will discover with time, programming languages are becoming obsolete as new languages are been developed. Need to let u know years ago nobody knows about pytorch and co. But now. Its has evolve how people use python. I started learning programming with qbasic, c, c++ but now no one code with these anymore. Can't even remember when I use them. Now I use r, tensorflow, jupyter notebook. And I can boast I do deliver well.

resosdigital:
This is all wrong.

You will only end up becoming a script junkie that no one would take seriously.

What happens if you are given a problem to solve without using any of your libraries?

Lmao in d 21st century, who need u to code from scratch. I was trained by google bro and also I did my ml course with Stanford university. While I am presently doing my data science specialization with job Hopkins. No company will tell u to b coding from scratch rather how well ur code runs and achieve its aim.
So u are telling a company will want u to do a work that can be done in hours for days. Do u even know why a.i is been more of focus now. Cos now they want machine to do more of d work and even predicting future and possible outcome.
Jupyter notebook, r, tensorflow are interface provided to make coding interactive and fun. Nobody needs ur bogus coding rather solving problems with less line of coding.

uchnino:
How do you do data analysis and machine learning without knowing the rudiments. Programs are used to make those things work which basically means programming is what ever needs to learn

Ofcos programming is needed, which is what I said above, but most people just believe its just to code but now programming is just like learning English as I said which everyone must learn but taking other courses in English written like medicine, engineering e.t.c is d application and that's how python,r e.t.c is to data science , ai and ml

resosdigital:
How can you implement ai or ml without programming languages like python or java? Tensorflow, Catalan and every other AI or ml library was written in a programming language.

Your advice is equivalent to telling someone who cant walk to forget about learning to walk but should start learning to run.

U got me wrong, I said one need to learn a primary language but now u can learn it along with learning a.I and ml. Check courses on deep learning, machine learning and data science on coursers and u will know its part of the curriculum there

toks4wonder:
Nice one, but there is a need to master the primary languages and be well verse in using them before jumping to Ai and ML stuffs, Also you need cash for so many things and developers get these from there freelancing services in most of these primary languages.

No I differ with u. The way programming works now is different from before. Now u don't need to write long codes or billion of codes to get it. Cos all these have been done into packages u will just need to download and use one or two line of code to achieve. And about learning primary languages, as I mentioned one will need to learn it but not to mastery, rather it is the more u practice u will become better.

maisauki:
d speed at which d world is moving is quiet amazing

Yes my brother u will be amazed at d pace. We Nigerians just like social media without really using d platform to understand what is going on in other part of the world.

xfactordv:
In ley mans terms ,whats AI and Machine learning and how and where do i learn them?

.
U can learn about Artificial intelligence and Machine learning by taking courses on them through coursera, udemy, you tube videos, e-book.e.t.c. everything you need to know can be gotten here. Cos presently only few university in d whole world do these.

When I see most people still talking about the old python, java, e.t.c. in this our part of the world, I tend to wonder if we are ever going to catch up with the rest of the world in innovations and rapid development.
Don't get me wrong, learning primary languages such as c++, python, java, r programming, e.t.c is essential, but in the present reality, this programming languages is more or less like learning English language, French language, Spanish language, e.t.c.
What should be more of focus is cloud computing, data analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data, software development, e.t.c. because this are now what set the technology pace.
Ofcos one can't do all these without learning basic programming, but presently nobody writes bogus programming anymore when you can just write a two or few lines of code which will easily execute and give desire result.
In conclusion, I am just trying to let us Africa to look beyond the basic programming of 10years ago and put our focus on the the most essentials like tensorflow, datalab, e.t.c. our pace is too slow, we need to set our priorities right.
In medicals, technologies, weather forecasting, marketing, accounting e.t.c are all been overtaking by a.i and ml. In few more years the most lucrative jobs will be taking by those who understand a.i and ml.

Another new show worth watching. Captivating and good storyline.

If this series doesn't win an award again this year then I will never give a shit about awards anymore. It's one of d best. The writers are so good. Very unpredictable. Louis now d Managing Partner and d good part is, it was master minded by Dana and Harvey. Even Robert had to admit they were beaten and dey should just focus on winning external cases.

Nice piece. IMO. Perspection = reality. What u believe doing reality to b is ur reality and it's different for people. I personally religion, culture, e.t.c won't dictate my life rather I will pick what is best in all and adopt it.

Knan death got me. Never envisage it. Best episode so far

ekanempatrick28:
thank u and i appreciate it. If dat woman really acts on her advise i will marry her anyday anytime just as helpsystem said. Now all she said in summary is dis marriage aint perfect but u shd love ur husband and kids wit everything. They will hurt u definitely get u angry and all but be calm and take things easy and neva compare ur marriage wit ur friends. Now any sensible guy dat has such a lady will treat her as a queen and if dat make me a hiv lover or wateva u call me, i gladly accept it. But madam every marriage even urs will undergo trial. Its a must. Even our parents marriages have dere challenges and dat wat dis young lady is pointing out. U go girl.

Don't disturb urself on people who are still stuck with social media fantasies. Dey go soon wake up to reality. Also I dislike racist and I always avoid them cos they are full of bitterness.

Still some people can't comprehend simple advice. This lady just spoke like a granny that has never been divorced with so much experience. Kudos to her if I can find a lady as matured and reasonable has she's, I will get married in 3months.

See invention in Nigeria. We can so much take risk. Any advice for these community and captions

Arrowed is one of d armed robberes in Offa pictured with d Sen President,Sen Bukola Saraki & wife in a uniform cap.
Alot revelation coming out

Nice concept for our youth to work on. This are Wat should be given to student as project work

Good piece. But don't forget this is Nigeria and everything here is politicised. That I am sure that is the issue here

It might be too long but this piece is an eye opener for most ladies and sure worth sharing. Kudos op I wish u all the best in ur marriage

U go fear cars Wey go dey student parking slot. Intimidation for alot of lecturers go set in
