This works. If you are a developer, you might want to find specific platforms and learn them as they help in getting remote jobs much more easier than general web development.

do you use wix for developing website, I've seen people using it on fiverr but I feel it's no match for wordpress

TechCapon:
my brother, not only guarantor but the terms and conditions of the program na die. I don't know why it is so hard to find people who attend the program to share their real life experiences.

Maybe it's part of the terms and agreement not to disclose their experience. I knew there is something shady about their offer.

TechCapon:
did you later proceed with the Decagon program?

I've dumped it jare, no guarantor.

tensazangetsu20:
Honestly that depends on your job hunting skills, the portfolios you have et al. I got my first WordPress role the week I started learning PHP but I am a ferocious job hunter.

wow! nice one.

tensazangetsu20:
You can see from the jobs listed that react alone on freelance sites doesnt have much jobs like that plus it's mixed with react native most times. WordPress has over 20000 jobs. Shopify has over 8000.

You will still use your react knowledge when working with WordPress but learning it alone and looking for work no dey easy like that. It's why I have been shouting here platforms platforms platforms especially for beginners.

After learning all these CMS, how long does it take you to start applying and getting jobs?

Omo mehn! hope I'm not going astray like this...learning node for backend. Na to go learn all these CMS remain o.

This is a bad decision which you might end up regretting. It's good to learn python but what is the end goal? What do you want to do in python? Python has its place In data science and machine learning but how easy is it to get those jobs especially for someone who might not have a computer science degree. It can be used in web development with Django but how many Django jobs are there? How many people use Django or flask as a backend to build their websites.

Research and rething your strategy so you don't waste valuable time.

How about node.js?
I don't want you to suggest php, though I still wanna learn it, not now.

Am planning using a keyboard Tablet to do programming. Would it be great?
@qtguru @SDJosh @Naijatask @Johnmattee @Drella @The5DME @stanliwise @tensazangetsu20

I don't think you can do serious coding with that. A PC will be preferable.

tensazangetsu20:
Learning to code is a double edged sword. There's a whole lot of difference between coding as a hobby and coding to make a living unfortunately a lot of people who are learning code in Nigeria are learning to code as a hobby.

Someone can code for 7, 8 years and never make a penny but another person can do it for 3 months and start working.

Oh gawd! money must be made. Enough of hobby

the thing tire person, nothing like job safety exists anymore, when your "stack" becomes obsolete, your own go just enter voice mail.

JavaScript stack is not reliable. You have to stay updated

SegFault:
I swear, this new generation and it's churning out of useless toys you can hardly cope with, it's so funny that languages like C, C++ and rust will always be there.

The funny thing is all those frameworks ain't gonna last. JS is just crazy!

tensazangetsu20:
Exactly and then there's things like Gatsby and Nextjs which are becoming very prominent and you even have frameworks built on those frameworks like blitzjs built on Nextjs. React is not going anywhere.

JavaScript and its over bloated framework and dependencies.

Karleb:
This thread was created in 2016 and in 2021 many python and Javascript programmers still belief that PHP is dead.

Why they do. I sincerely don't know.

you like PHP a lot

the script writer of this story really tried. Nkan nbe!

southniyikaye:
curtail your ignorance bro, I am yoruba abi bawo lo se fe kin tu so?

let's call a spade a spade.

southniyikaye:
Op, why are you being tribalistic?
Do you think abroad people differentiate if you are igbo or yoruba or hausa?
Highlighting the name won't do you any good...


For those quoting me, I am yoruba

Why are you so pained? you don't need to disguise under any tribe, we already know your origin. The question you are supposed to ask yourself is why is it only them. stop dragging the name of this country into the mud.

hey boy by Sia ft Burnaboy

It's like ouija board game.

Stanliwise has replied you well, i still don't see why you are making baseless analogies. Anybody can earn good money with any language.
I work as a remote dev . . . job a) int'l pay approx 420k
job b) locally approx 300k
job c) is my side business, around 200k

figures quoted above are per month, and all in javascript and it's variants
now there is very big potential for job c) to enter 1m, 2m or even 10m monthly recurring revenue . . because it is what it is, a business

Will i advise you to learn JAVASCRIPT if you want to make money or choose C# if you want to suffer? Hell NO!
Why? because i can replicate all earnings above using another language if i wanted. It's not the language that brings the money, it's what i have upstairs in my head.

If i take away your PHP skills, you're probably dead. Take away my javascript skills and i'll just laugh it off. You see the language as the income-driver, I see the skill instead not the language. That's why you just started writing codes this year, and i've been writing codes since . . cant remember

hmmn...but anyways experience helps but for people who are just starting and need to get results, there is need to observe the market.

I never knew what it means until my girlfriend asked me to buy it for her, I was dumbfounded when I researched the price.

tensazangetsu20:
If you love poverty python and then pick it's framework like Django. If you love money PHP. Use your tongue to count your teeth.

what if it's JavaScript, I still don't know why you hate python. Why did you choose Peee-ache-Peeee!!!!

privaldo:
You should give Go a try, dumped the idea of learning Node.js for Go.

are you an expert in Go?
how are you able to wrap your head around concurrency?

Karleb:
I'm not a PHP die hard.

Truth is, majority of what you have heard about about the language is false.

hmmn....okay. 2021 is around the corner, I can't go for php lailai

Karleb:
The trend is false.

Another PHP die-hard spotted.
PHP to me is somehow antiquated.

Karleb:
Oh God!



Where exactly do you people keep hearing this for God's sake?!

it's a trend

tensazangetsu20:
PHP and WordPress for backend shit. Would pick up salesforce next year or Magento. Haven't made up my mind yet.

I thought PHP is getting outdated, maybe I'm wrong. why not try Golang.

tensazangetsu20:
True sha and what if you don't get a job to pay back the money. Salaries for junior developers in Nigeria range from 100 to 250k ish. So practically you would save your whole 3 years salary untouched to pay back.

That's serious ooo, monkey dey work baboon dey chop! So what are you into now since you've moved away from JavaScript.
I am waiting for HNGi8 next year, I'll be more than prepared.

tensazangetsu20:
I love Javascript and React on the frontend but Nodejs isn't as important as it's hyped up to be.

Okay, anyways, the decagon of a thing is just overhyped. 3 fvcking years

tensazangetsu20:
They are gonna be teaching you the MERN stack which i wouldn't lie would be very hard to get a job in Nigeria especially as a junior developer. Heaven knows I hate Nodejs

But you used to be a JavaScript evangelist why the sudden change in path, I know that node.js is overated. That decagon of a thing is a bondage.

I guess they are stucked with the system.
My major concern is the clause.
