Hopefully, everyone spraying Naira notes at parties will be arrested and prosecuted going forward. Leaving others while persecuting Bobrisky is unfair, callous, vindictive and against natural justice. Everyone should play by the same rule.

I dey burial now and dem dey spray anyhow here

So they want to remove it again? I thought they removed it last year

Goodlady:
Correct man. Not all these lazy nairaland broke ass boys wey do head like prîck!

Mumu, na the bride's family gift the couple those things, na your mate she be

CaveAdullam:
The certificate is now pegged at almost $220.

Except it's not the "right place" I visited.

I walked through the website yesterday.

Thanks.

There are 2 certificates, one is free and you get it at the end of the course (certificate of completion) while the other is a verified certificate, which is $219. The free one is from Harvard, while the verified one is from EDX

CaveAdullam:
Your inquisitiveness will take us down the rabbit hole on this thread.

When learning CS50, was it the notes you followed or the videos on YouTube?

Well done.

I used edx website, that's the only way you can get full access to the course resources and the tests, and also get a free certificate after you're done

DrBrainstorm:
I'm an SE undergraduate, I just recently started learning C# lets connect.

Sure, I already sent you an email. Although I'm not planning on starting C# anytime soon, I'm just started learning React

CaveAdullam:
Anytime you are about to start C#, please, holla me. Better, I will be following.

The language looks "exciting".

I would like to learn it too.

Thanks.

No problem bro

PraisesPblaze:
Hmmm. This is so me.

I don’t have a computer science degree. I studied Microbiology but I have this flare for tech, so I started buying courses on Udemy after getting a road map from a friend. I’m doing Frontend first since I’m new to everything but the frontend is so full at the moment.

Html, CSS, JavaScript - start applying for jobs.

After taking a html/ css course, I took an advanced css course to learn css more as well as SASS. Then I learnt JavaScript- started applying then I knew that I wasn’t ready. Lol

Now I’m learning React.js and I already have courses for MongoDB and Node.

Sometimes I ask myself if these are really programming. The C# and python and the rest; I only know their names but don’t know what they do. I guess not having good info and not a C science student affected me.

Now, to apply for jobs is tiring me cuz I feel I’m not good enough.

What do you suggest I do? The image is the roadmap I plan on following

PS: I’m knowledgeable with html, css and JavaScript that I’ve learnt so far, React is still coming up cuz that’s where I am at now.

This is the same roadmap every beginner have, and in the end everyone ends up with the exact same stack (MERN, MEAN, or MEVN). Supply far outweighs demand and you will struggle a lot to find a job. This path is actually easy and it's why most beginners run to it, so I will suggest you do things differently to give you an edge. I will recommend you to go edx platform and look for Harvard CS50, it's an introduction to computer science course and will teach you basic computer concepts you should know if you were a CS student. They will teach you C and considering your first programming language is JavaScript, you might find it hard to learn C and might even want to give up so many times but I promise you that if you're able to struggle through it, you will start seeing JavaScript in a different light and also find it easier to learn other languages.

That CS50 course will introduce you to data structures and algorithms but you should also go deeper in it using other resources (either video or books). For me, I'm currently using Grokking Algorithms book (PDF available online). After React, I suggest you look into languages most beginners run from, which is either Java or C#. You can still learn nodeJS if you want to, it will be extra work but will be worth it in the end. As it is now, you will have to go the extra mile to be able to survive in this current tech market

zagorakis:
They said C is not beginner friendly, what do you think?

Its exactly why you should learn it. I'm glad that my first programming language is C because it made learning Python and JavaScript so much easier. C is very low level and will teach you how things really work in a computer (memory management and all that) which is something that is heavily abstracted in high level languages like Python and JavaScript

MindHacker9009:
Good question. I will explain. When Linux, Mac, Android or iOS releases a new version then there might be soon issues with the application running on these new versions of those platforms, so if the .Net version is still being updated by Microsoft then Microsoft will release a fix for the issues, but if Microsoft has stopped updating the .Net version then is either you upgrade your application to a newer version of .Net that Microsoft still provides an update for or on the alternative you might be able to find a hack to solve the issue as a quick fix.

That's very typical of Microsoft, it's similar to what they do with Windows updates. I guess the best choice is to always update to the latest .Net version

MindHacker9009:
No problem. I understand, to make it clearer. You have all these versions of C# .Net that run on Linux, Mac, Android and iOS.

.Net Core 1.0 to 3.1 - Now old and Microsoft has stopped updating these versions
.Net 5 - Now old and Microsoft has stopped updating these version
.Net 6 - .Net7 - Microsoft will soon stop updating these versions
.Net 8 to .Net 10 - Microsoft is still updating these versions

They are for web, desktop, mobile and console applications - Has .Net Core MVC, Razor pages for web application, WPF for desktop applications, Xamarin/.NET MAUI for mobile applications, Web Services, Blazor for PWAs, WCF, Python, Class library, SQL Server Project etc.

When stating with .Net you might find it easy to start with an .Net Core or .Net 5 and above Module-View-Controller project.

You will find a lot of good resources here on YouTube to get you started:
https://www.youtube.com/@Csharp-video-tutorialsBlogspot
https://www.youtube.com/@IAmTimCorey

I truly appreciate the effort you put into explaining all these. I have saved the YouTube channels you recommended and will check them out when I start learning. If I may ask, what happens to the programs that are written with versions that are no longer supported? Do they keep working as before or are upgraded to the latest version?

MindHacker9009:
No worries. That was in the past that C# was for windows platform only which stopped with C# .Net MVC 4.8 which is now legacy. Now C# .Net Core and C# .Net 5 and above runs on Linux and Mac.

I see. Thank you very much for your detailed explanation, it has cleared my confusion about the whole thing

qtguru:
I will say because Java is everywhere and I've have had more experience with Java in terms on J2ME, Processing, Spring boot and swing, Java is verbose but the new Java API is okay especially with Lombok packages, but Kotlin might fit, C# too is not bad just that I've spent more time with Java.

I understand now, and I will just stick with C#. Thank you very much for your response boss, I appreciate it

MindHacker9009:
C# .Net core from version 3.1 and above and .Net 5 and above runs on Linux and Mac machines.

Nice, thanks boss. I have always seen people online say C# and .Net is a windows-specific language

qtguru:
lot of C# jobs in EU, but I prefer Java because of how easy it is for Linux

I'm still having a hard time picking between both of them, but I only chose C# because Java's syntax is very verbose, and most people just hate Java for one reason or the other. But on the other hand, I prefer Linux to Windows, and that's why I'm still considering Java. Aside the reason you gave, is there any other one why you prefer Java?

zagorakis:
What is the best path, what path would you advise a beginner to tow.

For me, I started with HTML and CSS, then I took an introduction to Computer Science course with Harvard (available on edx) where I learned the basics of C, Python and SQL. After that I took JavaScript and currently learning React. At the same time, I'm also learning data structures and algorithms using C and my next target is C# and the dotnet framework. A lot of people just go with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. And then they pick up MongoDB, Express, React (or Vue or Angular) and Node.js and right now, that field is over saturated. Most beginners run away from things like, Java and C#, that's where you should be heading to; just pick one of them and be very proficient at it

Omo tone down on your negativity o, I don't see the need for all these insults. Some of the so called JavaScript enthusiasts never knew better, they were just victims of YouTubers and Twitter influencers who told them they should just learn HTML, CSS and JavaScript and they are good to go. Some of us are privileged to have found the right information online and decided to walk the path many people run from. No guts, no glory. But still chill sha. Congratulations by the way, you have given me a little motivation right now

The funny thing is that after you have been barred on MTN and you go to their office to unbarr it and link your NIN, they will charge you 1k as if you're buying a brand new sim, mad people

So na why we get light for this side since 7PM yesterday till now? Coz e dey very strange say dem go leave light for that long, na usually 2 to 3 hours light dem dey give us for night, now na over 12 hours

StAmbrose1:
What loophole is that?
How were you able to get back in?
Which modded whatsapp is better and immune to Mark's shenanigans?
Official whatsapp is boring and full of developmental restrictions.
Those naysayers are hypocrites.

I have mentioned you on the post where I talked about it, on page 7 of this thread

Dareal90s:
Jokes on u, laugh out ur destiny instead of you to learn you won't seems you have nothing to say again, you've been beaten hands down Mr petty blogger.

Yes I agree, I have been beaten hands down....please send me $500, I have not eaten since yesterday 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dareal90s:
A poor man pikin go think say na play. You know the cost of a bag of cement? That way higher than ur pay grade. Learn SEO and u will become hot cake, that's if ur brain can handle it.

I'm in the league of ppl with assets not crypto boys hoping on crypto volatility.

.

You know how much I charge per link insertion? $1k

Hold on I'm not done laughing yet 🤣🤣🤣

Dareal90s:
You know how much I charge per link insertion? $1k

🤣🤣🤣🤣 See mumu wey no know wetin $1k look like. From all the rubbish wey you type, na this one be the funniest. You should be a standup comedian 😂

Dareal90s:
$100, is that what u get paid? You still be kobo kobo blogger if your client can't heed to your demands, have u ever heard of Payoneer or Domiciliary account?

You are dull and u continue show it that your are so dumb dull, also don't come here to give us lamba, you ain't a developer you are a broke ass blogger. You have mouth to talk when you make ur first $1k, for now you are a jeko jeko blogger, a dull one to the core that doesn't know there are over 5 legit ways to receive earnings without ilegal cryptos.

Kobo Kobo blogger. 😂

Let me paint you a picture and I know it will probably take you over one hour to comprehend.

I blog on Hive platform, which pays its users with its own cryptocurrency called Hive, just the same way Elon Musk pays X users with dollars through stripe. Why has any of those influencers ever demanded for Elon Musk to pay them through their account or use PayPal or payoneer or domiciliary account? But I understand sha, you're too dull to comprehend all these 😂 and yes, I'm a kobo kobo blogger, the same kobo bought me my phone, laptop and sponsored me through the university. See "smart person" can't even type in complete sentences, typing like who has half of their brain removed

Dareal90s:
Idiot, so you can only get paid through cryptocurrency, what happened to bank transfer, Payoneer and checks? You think u are talking to a dummy. Well for ur information I am a web developer and your boss in blogging. I get my earnings via legit ways and I am doing well. I am a normal person and I've done well for myself without using crypto.


As we all know, only lazy ass niggas complain whenever the govt is against crypto, crack heads that doesn't want to work, always looking for easy way to earn so u can just sit and watch the volatility. Go get a life not all dis ur kobo kobo blogging.

Seeing ur signature I even tot u are truly smart, you end up being the most f0@lish of all human kind. Brain dead swine.

Yeah of course, I should just tell the owner of the platform where I blog with millions of people around the world that he should start paying us directly to our bank accounts, because you're one of the foolish dogs that built the site for him, maybe na your papa get the platform sef

FYI, I'm a web developer too, and I seriously doubt you're one, I have never seen a very dumb developer with 2 digit IQ, maybe you're just a blogger wannabe claiming to be a developer because you can change themes on WordPress, olodo

Kobo Kobo blogging indeed, as if you don ever make $100 in your entire blogging career, awon boss blogger

Dareal90s:
Laziness and f0@lishness is affecting you, so you can't create work yourself? To u now u have spoken sense, you are damn too dull. Continue waiting for the government to create work for you.

Even abroad people create jobs themselves you here in Africa is waiting for ready-made jobs, you must be sick, unproductive lazy ass nigga.

Yes I created a job for myself where I blog on a platform and get paid through cryptocurrency, but you're here shouting like a goat on heat that everyone should do "normal work", the normal work wey your papa give me abi? If someone isn't doing traditional jobs like banking, engineering, or trading and other manual skill jobs, its seen as a taboo to useless degenerate maggots like you who are still stuck in the stone age. Cryptocurrency should be banned so that I can come and join you in your small shop in front of your house and be selling crayfish, because apparently that's what "normal people" do

Dareal90s:
So young guys can't work like normal people right, If there is no crypto then the best option is robbery?

How many of the "normal" people are employed? You go just open mouth waaaaahh dey talk rubbish. If there were jobs available in the country, will the youth put their hands into something as risky as cryptocurrency?

Akin1212:
You're capping, and I don't think you're a developer who makes app. You are probably one who jail breaks other people's hard work and leave them scratching their heads. What do you mean by Mark Zuckerberg is a crybaby who doesn't want anybody to touch his toy, who wants anyone to touch thwir toys tbey spend billions on? To even think you referred to a business as a toy is very telling. Start a business and do nothing when people attack your business na. You are definitely not aware of how much WhatsApp was acquired for by Facebook. You don't even know that Telegram is open source and reproducible buolds are allowed. I doubt you even know the difference between open-source and closed-source.

I know that telegram is open source and plus was built with its API. You're here defending Mark as he if didn't reverse engineer Twitter and built his own version that failed woefully. And yes, I'm aware of how much Mark acquired Facebook, I know the difference between open-source and closed-source, and yes I'm not a developer who makes mobile apps, I'm a web dev. Your post is just full of assumptions against someone you know nothing about, typical of people with 2-digit IQ

Wuminity:
Thanks for this information 🤗

How do you want your kiss?

Send it through opay

F1re:
Good evening bro, trust you're doing fine.

I come across this thread last week and tried to open an account on the platform but I wasn't able to do it due to some 'low IP error' till yesterday, so I currently have an account now.

I see some $ figures in front of posts, does that mean those posts earn those amount just by posting the content or they did something else entirely different from posting?

I'm a good writer, is it possible to net 30K naira working on Ecency per month? I want to quit my 30K/Month job to focus on it, I've got a good phone and a power bank that can last me two weeks, I barely breakeven with the job after removing transport fare for a month.

I'm also willing to dedicate around 5 hours daily working on it, is it viable?

Thank you, looking forward to your reply bro

Some Nigerians there are even making over 100k per month, you're talking about 30k . Although most of them have been there for years and are very active, but for a newbie, 30k is very possible and you can go higher as you spend more time on the platform. I won't advice you to quit your job yet, you can do it side by side with your job to see if it's something you can be consistent with, because many people actually give up within weeks of joining. Then again, having it as a side hustle isn't bad either, many people on the platform have offline jobs as well

Psoul:
You're trying so hard to defend your crime.

For all you mentioned, I don't download pirated music or movies. I can only download from genuine sites that can offer the product on free when I may be able to access the paid ones.

For the Microsoft suite, you can still get the free software from their site.
Seems your life is channeled towards illegal stuffs.

The so-called genuine site you mentioned are also pirating the movie. Why will they offer a paid product for free? And you're here confidently defending it, you're the same as gbwhatsapp users. You look for free products (which are obviously pirated) when the paid ones are there, why not follow the legal way and pay for the product? Mr illegal stuffs

bal4real:
I like the way you approach the argument/question. In the course of your argument, you are at the same time educating them on the things they did not know b4 now.

Guy, I was one of the users of FMwhatsapp, but recently I got the flash message on my FMwhatsapp asking me to switch to official WhatsApp now. This msg has been popping up on FMwhatsApp for about 2 weeks now. Out of fear of being logged off and blocked by WhatsApp and what some people are saying on this thread concerning the mooded WhatsApp, I switched to the normal WhatsApp, few days ago.

Frankly speaking, the normal WhatsApp is so boring. No exciting features at all. Important information or videos in WhatsApp status you can't download or screenshot. They cluster private chats & group chats together, unlike in mooded WhatsApp. In fact, the normal WhatsApp is rubbish.

Guy, which of the WhatsApp are you using right now, (mooded WhatsApp or the normal one)?

If the mooded WhatsApp, are you still receiving the warning msg from the normal WhatsApp to switch?

Is there any possibility of the normal WhatsApp banning/blocking users who do not adhere to their instruction of switching to the normal WhatsApp?

Lastly, I'm contemplating of switching back to the mooded WhatsApp I'm used to, is there any one you can recommend to me that won't be affected by the normal WhatsApp threat? If possible, the one you are currently using, if any.

Thank you.

WhatsApp logged me out of my fmwhatsapp in February but I found a loophole and got back in. The trick is to use the official WhatsApp linked devices feature. First make sure you're already on the official WhatsApp, then click on the 3 dots in the top right corner (as seen in the picture below). Select linked devices then "link a device". For this to work, you will need 2 phones (or a laptop). I have a laptop, so that's what I used.

2. For the next step, open your Fmwhatsapp but don't log in with a number. Instead, click on a similar 3 dots at the top right corner and you will see something like link a number (i can't remember what it's called). But when you click on it, it will show you a QR code which you will screenshot and send to another device (either another phone or laptop).

3. Go back to the official WhatsApp and after clicking on the "link a device", the QR code scanner will open and you will just scan that screenshot you sent to the other device. That's it, it will log in and you can continue using the Fmwhatsapp while you find a way to freeze the official WhatsApp (my phone came with a freezer).

But the downside is that you will have to always open the official WhatsApp every 2 weeks because if you don't use it after that 2 weeks, they will log you out from Fmwhatsapp and you will have to repeat the process again. I have been using this loophole since last month and they haven't disturbed me since then
