There are many unsuccessful startups today, so what did you do differently, how did you get your initial funding, and how do you pay your developers?

you can still use WordPress or joomla but you will be writing the backend for some specific features, and you need to be really good in php too

just download jetBrain intellijIDEA ultimate, its adds soon much sweetness to your coding world .

@op use voguepay their api is very easy to work with, I have used it in a number of websites, i can help to integrate it or you can hire someone else

Wow I finally came up with an algorithm for this and its working perfectly, thanks guys for your inputs

bb6xt:
An easier way to go about it is to have a fixed point of reference in time. Say for example you played the first video at 10.00 am UTC and a visitor comes in 10 minutes later a DOM ready callback should check the current time in the same time zone as the one used by the server as a reference point and skip that much ahead on the video or play the next one at the proper time if the first would have finished.

But this is a hack and I haven't done it before but I think it is possible to implement it this way.

yea that makes sense but since JavaScript is a client language it best to let the server set the timezone and figure out what time the visitor came in and pass it to the JavaScript so the JavaScript times won't be different. yeah it's a hack

I would check that out meanwhile more input are welcome @gurus in the house

A friend of mine also a nairalander, had this issue of trying to emulate a live TV website.
he had 6 videos but he wanted all video to play like a playlist, now the main task is when video a is playing in it's 7th minute since you're are just coming in you should continue from that 7th minute, and when you refresh your browser the video should still continue from 7 minutes and some seconds upwards, and when another visitor comes in 4 minutes later that visitor should continue from 7 + 4 = 11 minutes, in other words all visitors should be watching the same video @ the same time and video time elapsed should be the same just like a live TV

interesting! problem solved

losing it's responsiveness in what sense? is it that part of the site text or image is cut off or scrolling left and right due to overflow?
check your HTML if your viewport is correctly set and check your CSS for the smallest supported min-width

using position : fixed sometimes affect opera in rendering your content correctly

what is "game show app"?

dhtml18:
That is arrant nonsense, and a reason why many Nigerian programmers are poor and remain poor. I once had that thinking, therefore I became extra good - in fact too good for my own liking (I am a web-developer that can use multiple technologies - all the way from asp, perl, php, asp.net, MEAN STACK, at the same time a software developer (whether windows/mac osx), and also with a very strong foot in native mobile application development) - all that one na just tales by moonlight, yeah, it did not help me due to that arrant nonsense thinking of - if you are good.


Yeah, even if you are good - the naija companies will offer you nonsense salary. The last company that tried to employ me wanted to pay me 100k / month.


Well, na so we see am o.

The summary of all this is that - the programmers that make money the most in Nigeria ARE NOT EMPLOYED ON A MONTHLY SALARY.

Are you dismissing the fact that he doesn't need a certificate to be a good programmer, and earn more ?

someone also pointed out that he would need the cert so the company can give him chance to showcase his skills of which he will be paid monthly salary, in your last post you also said the programmers that earn money most in Nigeria are not employed on a monthly salary, which I think its true.
On the issue of certification do you think it's absolutely necessary even for freelancer or an entrepreneur

***I had to drop out from my university twice cause my computer lab was like a secrete spiritual room covered in dust* Naija style

goodnewz4u:

StevensJojo:
The lowest membership is the red membership which is actually free.

You get to use their space every Sat along with internet but you have to apply for it though.

It's a great place.

interesting, I applied for the membership stuff last year I saw something like 30k per year, how does the 30k membership works?

Ben1975:
Widen your reach, think whole of the internet, and the exchange rate makes working outside for people outside Nigeria more lucrative. If you are a programmer with ability and creativity you can canvass people abroad. USA or Europe. Obviously the name of the game is customer services plus a decent portfolio.

You're absolutely right tho, but then again the topic is about Nigerian tech industry I haven't seen anyone earn that much in Nigeria

cvibe2:

I wonder if any tech coy in naija can pay that much 2.4M monthly

ibietela2:
I don't always remember the codes when i practice

don't try to cram the syntax, know the full meaning if it has and understand what the code is supposed to do

kentc3:

interesting piece

you pay a programmer by his worth, am freelance tho

so you suggesting that a topic should be considered trending, if within a short period of time it gains so much activities(i.e views, likes etc) even though another topic that was posted along side it gained much more activities but with a slower growth rate than the first

My question simply is what criteria does a post or topics needs to meet to consider it as "trending"?

my friend suggested we add up the likes, comments, and views in the last 24 hours, the post with the highest comes first.

please guys what are your thoughts

Thanks for the helpful post

^^^ It seems the WiFi profile needs to be saved to your system before you can get any info from it. Which requires you to connect to the network WiFi first with the password. Am running Windows 8 btw.

FRInteractives:
Saw this ones -

step one

Go to command prompt, click start up menu on your system, click RUN, type Cmd, and click ok to open the command prompt

step two

inside the command prompt, type the following

netsh wlan show networks
mode = bssid(it will show all the available wifi network, take note of the names)

step 3

To connect to the wifi network, type the following

netsh wlan connect
name= (put the name of wifi your system detect)
e.g net wlan connect
name = (kinibigdeal pc)

step 4

press enter to connect

step 5

To disconnect it, type

netsh wlan disconnect

step 6

To save it type : netsh wlan export profile name = kinibigdeal( not by name but change it to the name of the detected wifi)

it doesn't work on a password protected WiFi

I am not a web developer, i deal with windows and android apps only
also why do we need to clone, why cant we just come up with our own unique original design, we cant grow by trying to be something else we are not

I agree, with creating our own unique design, my point is we need to make it appealing, not totally cloning playstore, but at least something of that standard.
More GUI guys are needed here please
