Guys, I was also posted to Bauchi. I just hope we won't get there and NYSC would say there is no automatic redeployment again. Na fight oh

If you having blank call-up letter.

It's because you are opening it from a Google Chrome browser.

When I opened mine from a firefox browser, it worked.

[SOLUTION] It works on Firefox.

When I visited NYSC portal, my call up letter is blank

Anybody else facing this issue?

Hello

Please do anybody know where I can get a blank MacBook pro keyboard sticker like this (http://www.amazon.com/BLANK-KEYBOARD-STICKERS-BLACK-BACKGROUND/dp/B002GOOYWS) in Nigeria.

My keyboard would now look like this

Imagine oo. Which of the bootcamp classes did you participate in? I'm still in bootcamp (class X to be precise) and we are trained at the main campus for the time being.

Nice, do you know the other office? I work from there, ask of me if you can come

Sure things are going well in bootcamp
have fun

blueyedgeek:
Are you a fellow?

yeah

Boss I hail oh

One of my toughest algorithm is a program to generate sets of all the possible outcomes of n dice thrown. Where n is any positive integer entered by user. It might be piece of cake for some people though.

Also, there is another like a quiz here https://www.nairaland.com/1486507/challenge-league-fixture-algorithm#19095756

It's more of heuristics though.

Great job, let's see on Monday in amity.

This question sounds funny, guess that's why you got no response, but either ways

for (; sum < 10; sum=sum+i) {
   i++;
}

Wrote it in JS, but you should be able to convert it

So, are you just about Mean Stack technology? You don't do other languages?

Yes, majorly MEAN stack but I also do python and django and I am not limited to only frameworks I know, as I can learn new languages fast and solve problems at hand

Following this thread keenly...

I'm presently honing my javascript development skills with an end goal of becoming a sought after MEAN Stack developer.

I would also like to recommend that newbies who are interested in building a career as a MEAN Stack Developer should visit freecodecamp.com. That site is awesome! Their resources are free and they have a well structured curriculum. You get to pair program with people around the world. After successfully completing the curriculum, you will have the opportunity to build your portfolio by developing real world applications for non profit making organizations around the world.

Meanwhile, I'll be checking by here at intervals to ask questions bordering MEAN Stack application development.

lovely, I love freecodecamp too, though haven't had much time to follow them up, but have some friends that are using their curriculum :thumbsup: and if you have any challenge, feel free to post them here, I would be glad to help

blueyedgeek:
Thought you went awol. Cool that you are still here. I might be needing your help soon.

No worries bro, I am always available

blueyedgeek:
@hisabimbola, still here?

Hey blueyedgeek, I am still available

blueyedgeek:
@hisabimbola,

* could you also explain how hosting works with MEAN apps and also

Hosting MEAN apps is very easy and less stressful, one of the best hosting company for MEAN apps is Heroku, and they also provide free hosting, there are host of others which provides similar services

* how would you rate setting up a MEAN development environment, easy, very easy, hard, mildly hard, very hard, absolutely complex.

To set up MEAN development basically requires node and NPM, MongoDB, once you set that up, life's good. I would say easy, but if you use windows...

* I did a little research and found out that there were two versions of the MEAN stack, Mean.io and Mean.js, and it seems like they were both made by the same guy. Which one of them is better to use?

It depends but I would recommend MEANJS, most likely because I had used it before and when compared to MEAN.IO, MEANJS is relatively easier to work with, but then they are both boilerplate, you can build your own from scratch, and I do advice newbie to do so

* I know you have mentioned that this isn't a debate thread but I would like your opinion on how the MEAN stack compares to alternatives like MeteorJs (JavaScript full stack framework) and stable frameworks like PHP's Laravel, Python's Django and the likes...

I would try not to be biased by saying that it depends on the app you want to build.

blueyedgeek:
Yes you did. isn't express built on top of node.js? Why should express come first?

ExpressJS was built on top of nodeJS, so you do not need to learn nodeJS to build your mean stack app as a newbie, maybe just learn principles behind nodeJS. A good analogy to this is jQuery and vanilla javascript, you can use jQuery without necessary learning vanilla JS (though what you can do would be limited to only what jQuery is offering)

So if you want to start out, you can dive into ExpressJS directly, and if you have any technical questions, feel free to post them here, I would be glad to help

blueyedgeek:
These are all separate technologies being used together right? For someone starting out, in what order does one learn each separate technology?

if you want to build a MEAN stack application, you would want to have your backend(API) set up first before creating frontend, so I would advice you start out with ExpressJS (you probably do not need much of NodeJS now) then AngularJS

MongoDB is the database, learning mongoose too would be needed

hope I helped a bit...

Hello developers

I am an experienced MEAN (MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, NodeJS) stack software developer and looking at the low reception of NodeJS and MEAN stack in Nigeria,

I am creating this thread for any technical question that anybody may have regarding MEAN stack or nodeJS.

Goal is to help newbies in the technology stack, and encourage us to build our web apps with MEAN stack

looking forward to your technical questions

N/B this is not a debate thread to prove that MEAN stack is better than any other stack or technology
