ProgrammingRe: What Mysql Select Type Can I Use For Picture/audio/video by Javanian: 6:02am On Mar 12, 2013
Use a blob, medium blob or long blob. Do some research to know which suits what you are doing. But you are better of saving the images to a directory and then saving the directory path(link/url) in your database

Look i have no problem with you i welcome your contributions. If you want to suggest Ruby, Python and PHP i have no problem with that. Just write a small article on them telling the newbies what they can acheive with these languages. DONT tell them to turn down any other language because you would be confusing them, let them make their choice. The moment you speak against any language you will turn this thread to a language war and i wont allow that....

zebudaya: I don't know why the moderator hid my posts? Isn't it a free speech forum?

Anyways this is a helpful infographic for anyone who wants to learn programming. https://www.udemy.com/blog/modern-language-wars/
You will have to scroll down a little, then click to launch the infographic.
Yes, it is a free speech forum but this isn't a free speech thread. It is a thread to help BEGINNERS choose a programming language and not a thread to start a language war and get them confused, and thats why i created a special thread for your arguements. Feel free to start as many thread and express your views but no this one..,

Thanks for your understanding...
ProgrammingWhere Are The Flex Developers in Nigeria? by Javanian(op): 3:23am On Mar 11, 2013
I don't see any threads on Adobe Flex on this forum, so i was just wondering if there are any Flex developers here, please signify so we can do some Flex talking grin...

Then to all those who are not yet on the train of moving people, what are you waiting for?? If you are a mobile app developer or an aspiring mobile app developer and you dont use Flex yet then seriously something is wrong with you. If you like sit down there and be using that ancient and absurd thing called Phonegap. Sometimes i just wonder how the source code of a mobile app created with HTML5 and Javascript would look like. I seriously cant fathom why people still use that crap in 2013.

To all those of you who might wondering what Flex is and why you should even use Flex,

Adobe Flex is a free, open-source framework for building mobile, web, and desktop applications that share a common codebase.

Flex is powerful for its cross platform compatibility, you can create Desktop apps, web apps, Android apps, IOS apps, Blackberry apps with the same code with just little alteration....

Flex is known for its wonderful look and feel..

The Speed of Flex is almost equal to that of light...

Flex and ActionScript 3 is known for its low level abstraction, you don't worry about unnecessary rubbish, you concentrate on business logic...

Actionscript 3 (Flex language) is more organized than most of the other languages you have used in your programming career, wonderful documentation, No unnecessary methods, lovely syntax, a full blown OOP language...

To the Java Web Developers reading this, this would be a breeze for you because most if not all of the tutorials out there use Servlets as Backend [s]Not as if you cant use any other language[/s] and the Actionscript 3 syntax is similar to the Java/Javascript syntax. It even gets better. I also recently worked with a Flex framework data service called BlazeDs. Infact it is a set of data services that significantly simplify the development of data-driven Flex Applications, it uses Java as backend and our very own Tomcat as Web Server to implement Comet in Flex. Also with BlazeDs you can directly access your Java objects located on your Server, you can beleive it right?? shocked.

In the U.S.A today the search flex developers has increased tremendously in the past year and i don't need to tell you that it will gradually come down to our very own Nigeria.

If after reading this you don't open a new tab, type google.com and search for Adobe Flex tutorials then you are maaaaad, very maaaad, yes you, i said you are mad grin grin and very soon you would join this creatures wherever they are

ZEBUDAYA
lordZOUGA: I think the industry is moving towards a point where desktop apps and mobile apps are going to be one. that is the future.

do you know the average paycheck of a C/C++ developer?
which awesome mobile app was written in python and php?
do you know that part of the dev language for blackberry 10 is C/C++? and that of android is java?

@zebudaya, you do not seem to be a developer because if you are, you would not have made this statement "they
need to learn server language"
what the heck is a "server language"?

people like you are threats to Nigerian IT space. go and get experience before making this kind of post on an online forum.

be advised.
When I say server language, I mean server-side scripting language.

PHP (Like Facebook.com)
Python (like Nairaland.com)
Ruby (like shopify.com) framework (basecamp)


You know what I mean, you just want to pick. You can insult me all you want, and state that I am not a programmer, that's cool. Steve Jobs was not, Jeff Bezos from Amazon is not.

You said Blackberry 10 is written in C++. That's true, does one need to know C++ to write an app for Blackberry,Android, or IOS?

Desktop software is dying. They are going to be one with the mobile and web apps, Learn fast or be a dinosaur.

lordZOUGA: people like you are threats to Nigerian IT space. go and get experience before making this kind of post on an online forum.

I'm a threat to the establishment who refuse to go with the times and insist on doing the same thing over and over again. Nigeria's IT space is weak, yet we are highly educated.

WhiZTiM: haha.... ..lol. @Zouga, zebudaya, javanian and ciphoenix...
I think Zebudaya is a quick-cash and a myopic *programmer or web guy. . .

@zouga, ... Wanting to make quick cash from programming is totally a bad idea. Also...
Whatever language you choose, you can use it to make solid impacts in its relevant domain... and in today's world...

Why study C++ and be chained to a salary your whole life? Learn something else and make entrepreneur money. The time for being a starving artist/broke programmmer is over. C++ is powerful, but it has weaknesses. That you don't really use it in writing web and mobile apps is a major flaw.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/417816/how-popular-is-c-for-making-websites-web-applications

Regardless programmers please post a link to your work, The time for making noise on Nairaland is over.

zebudaya: I apologize if I came off as rude, but I de lie? You wake up, get to your computer or phone and launch a browser. How many *modern* PC apps do you launch a day? Not trying to be rude, but I don't think you should tell a beginner to learn stuff for the desktop when the money is in web and mobile apps!, they need to learn server language and how to manipulate databases.

The only modern program written in C++ that I use consistently is Spotify, check out this article http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/15/spotify-confirms-web-app-in-the-works-currently-in-closed-beta/ others are Adobe, and Microsoft, those are legacy companies.

I want the young hustlers to run to where the ball is going to be, not where it was.

zebudaya: PHP, Python or Ruby

For front end you'll need some knowledge of HTML, CSS, and Jquery to start.


If you want to analyze data, Learn SAS or R, you will never go hungry.

You can host your web apps on Googleappengine for nothing

other resources,
check out codeacademy.com
coursera.com
youtube
github.com
stackoverflow.com

For CMS, check out Wordpress, Kirby, Stacey,
If you devote one year to learning how to code, you will make progress. Ignore the folks telling you to learn BASIC, C++ or JAVA, They are behind the times. Web apps, and Mobile apps are the future.

There is a lot of free stuff online, use google and be resourceful. If you have any questions send me an email, I can show you the right direction
