Hello sir, I sent a pm.. Do reply thanks..

Sorry, Mr D. I only check into Nairaland when i'm not busy or want to give myself a break from "busyness". I sent a mail to your email address, though.
How may i help?

wonlasewonimi:
Maybe ISIS would permanently stop beheading in this holy month.

i don't know what you're driving at, but, no matter the reason terrorists give, terrorism and Jihad are not the same.

bebene:
thanks! thanks!! thanks!!!. you are the best in NL.

LOL... You're welcome. And, thanks.

bebene:
wooow bebeneland.com its awesome, how i wish am a billionaire like dangote i will just dash you one of my companies FOC, am really greatful pls i will be asking my questions here if i encounter any problem hope you will bear with me?

lol. no problem.

Download the appropriate version based on your computer's hardware (32bit or 64bit). the app won't work if you download the wrong version.
Though i presume you already have them, but minimise or eliminate bug issues by installing the latest versions of your choice browser and web editor.
i'll put consultancy fee on your tab till www.bebeneland.com launches lol

bebene:
thank you lantean for the explanation:
but you have not answered my last question which is, is the tutorial in the w3schools website enough to learn what i want to learn, if its not pls help with the advice of how to get a full and comprehensive one.

Oh right, well... w3schools and the likes are geared towards giving a newbie basic knowledge and writing safe codes in short time. But there's more to those languages than those sites let on. Its the reason i always pick books over online tutoring.
As regards, comprehensivenes, every author teaches various ways of using a language. Thats why i have many ebooks and practise as i read.
as a recommendation, read Beginning PHP 6, Apache, MySQL web development(www.nettech.in/e-books/PHP-Apache-MySQL-Web-Development.pdf) its about 13mb in size. Also Beginning MySQL(edc.tversu.ru/elib/inf/0147.pdf) it's about 12mb. but download a local server app like xampp from www.apachefriends.org/download.html if you're using windows.

In addition, lots of people want to know programming. That is their drive. But intentions or purposes that propells that drive is what differs. Intentions may be:
(1) Being able to develop softwares, operating systems, phone apps, computer apps (Software Engineer).
(2) Being able to design websites for any manner of device (Web Designer).
(3) Being able to design and build dynamic sites(Web Developer).
(4) Being able to control or administer/manipulate a server to your needs(Webmasters). some of these guys are also web developers. but that is not always the case.

I know "programmer" is loosely used for all the above but it's only an abuse of the word. This abuse stems from the fact that the word sounds sophisticated or classy. So people admire 'programmers' cos the programming language, even HTML markup, seem Kryptonian(alien language, something an ORDINARY HUMAN CANNOT UNDERSTAND).

HTML and CSS are used to build a site and order it's layout. jQuery is an easy form of Javascript (i prefer the latter). jQuery/Javascript is used for intelligently manipulating the site in the browser of a visitor. E.g. changing the colour of some elements as a user moves throug a page, telling the user a password is incomplete even though you haven't clicked submit. In other words, it is the thing that makes a website respond instantly to activities as if the site has a life of its own. remember there're times Google makes suggestions as you type in the search field. That is javascript at work. Javascript/jQuery is called Client-Side programming language because it is run on the site visitor's computer not the server. PHP & MySQL are Server-Side concepts. What those terms mean is that those scripts are run or executed on the server(for server-side) and visitor's computer(for client-side).

Ha ha ha ha(forgive me, i'm not laughing at you but with you).
First of all, nothing is finite in life, even in death, ... stuff go on.
If anyone wants more in life, he has to pursue resources to that end. i understand where you're coming from, you heard about web design, found it interesting and promising, then learnt a couple of related concepts thinking that's all only realise there is... moooore.. I know this cos i was once there.
So let me bring you up to speed:

I forgot to mention w3schools.com You can learn PHP, SQL and jQuery there. and tutorials are free. But there's more to each of the concepts than the website makes you to believe.

deawong:
have u ever gone 2 NIIT?

No and thank goodness i haven't been there to pay that much for any course.
I'm a self-taught web developer. I began by reading books meant for beginners then on to Pro-targeted books so as to hone my skills.
You should know the web is full of resources on training oneself and you'll be amazed to know most of the popular authors (David Powers, Ed Tittel, Kevin Yank, Janet Valade... ) of web development books were self-taught. Which brings me to one of my philosophies of life; if somebody can, i can. But if you must get tutoring, be sure not to limit yourself to that class, explore other angles of by a couple of authors' thoughts on concepts and techniques. Good luck.

Sorry, i was out all day.
Yes, learn both cos while PHP is a programming language, MySQL is not. MySQL is a Relational DataBase Management System(RDBMS). It is a tool for storing data. For instance, all the posts, profiles, likes, photos even reports on Nairaland are stored in a database(though in separate tables). Communicating with the database requires a language - Structure Query Language. That is the language employed in 'talking' to RDBMS. RDBMS itself isn't a language.
However, there're slight distinctions between languages for the various RDBMS(s). Most times those differences don't matter, most beginners never get to the point anyway.

deawong:
nairalanders i really want to learn about web development and web design please where can i learn it in lagos.
I have heard about NIIT and i decided to make enquiry but i was told its 175k to learn web development and web design.
please will NIIT teach me how to create a site like nairaland asin i want to start from the scratch and build my own forum site like nairaland....
Kindly drop your comments please

Honestly, you don't need to spend that much to learn web development at all. Cos i didn't.
Rather, reading like you're preparing for an exam, practising and dedication are what you need. 'Mentoring' or support can be sought online by joining relevant help communities or like i prefer... "Googling" (Google search) problems. i have some books i printed from years ago: one on HTML & CSS, another on PHP & MySQL.
You can have them if you want cos i've outgrown them. But i live in Ikotun, Lagos State.

I have some books on PHP & MySQL that i want to dispose but i'll feel better giving them to someone who needs them 'cos i paid a lot to print them then, when i had no laptop.
If you're interested and resident in Alimosho LGA, Lagos State.... i live in Ikotun.

Hello.
No you don't need to memorize anything. The knowledge becomes ingrained in you overtime as you practise. But proceed with building the site now and refer to the tutorial as necessary. When stuck with a problem, consult search engines - my favourite is Google.
Note that all popular sites are dynamic websites. And no, you don't need to learn Javascript but you must learn a server-side programming language and a Relational Database Management to be able to build a dynamic website (both considerations are jointly referred to as back-end programming).
PHP is a popular and 'hugely' supported language for your back-end programming. If you choose PHP, then MySQL will be an ideal choice of database system because it integrates well with PHP.
Your choice of language(French, Chinese or Yoruba) doesn't matter in hosting.
Don't get drawn into the war of "the best programming language". There's no such thing because each language has its flaws and advantages which are borne out of its complexities and uniqueness.

Crocz:
*thumbsUp*...agree with you totally!

@Crocz: Thanks

Aida13:
I totally agree with @Lantean that the owl spotted the trapped rat and was zoning in for some free midnight snack. Only to get trapped itself. Soso sad for the owl because it's not going to be spared lol. Half of these superstitions we have, happen to have perfect explanations.

@Aida13: Thanks. Oh! Don't get me wrong, i'm not disputing there're supernatural forces, I know there are. I just don't believe they are guilty of all we credit them. Like in this case.

@ firstEVA: Me lady. On behalf of those who agree it's a baby owl:
The appropriate word is 'chick'. An owl chick doesn't neccessarily mean only one that is completely flightless or with just plumes as feathers but also young, inexperienced, and 'teething' ones as well. Like the poor subject.
'Baby' owls are more obvious for their eyes and head that are oddly large and round in proportion to the entire body. Accounts for probably 35% of their body size. But I stand corrected.

obiak4:
spiritual implications most people that refused to eat okro are involved with charms and diabolism FACT ask a won agba
my 100000 cowries contribution

Very true. I didn't understand why some people avoided okra until I asked my Mom. She said the same.
But me... Aah! Ila alasepo? That 's the bomb! Both Wifey and Mom are the best cooks in the world.

Abi na.. COOKERS? Lol

jbdasilva:
"All i want is your waist" master, Iyanya has revealed he would not date a female celebrity again because of their melo-drama, he has also slammed those who think he shows off on social media..Read excerpts from his Punch interview

What kind of woman do you want to settle down with?

A good woman is a good woman. You can’t just sit and say this is the kind of woman I want. Some people think the best place to get a girl is in the church; meanwhile, you can get the wrong girl in the right place. Sometimes, I am worried about getting the right woman to marry because of my status. I have had one or two women come into my life and act like they are something. The safest thing to do is marry someone you have known before you became a star.

After Yvonne Nelson, would you date a celebrity in the future?

Yvonne Nelson is an amazing person, but I would never ever in my life date or have anything to do with a female star. I am not cut out for that kind of drama.

A lot of people think that fame has altered your personality. Is this true?

People have the right to believe whatever they want to. There is nobody in this world that would attain this level of success and fame, and remain the same. My life has changed and I am not going to tell you otherwise. I am not Iyanya of eight years ago; I am more exposed and have more fans. You can’t compare the pressure that was on me in 2008 to the pressure on me now. For me to even have this level of sanity, I believe it is God’s grace and people should pray and support me instead of saying I have changed. You see me wearing nice suits but if I give a fan my life to live for a week, not everybody will agree to continue after a few days.

Why do you think so?

There is a lot of money but it comes with a lot of pressure. Imagine waking up to people being rude to you on social media. You wake up to curses because you tweeted that God just blessed you with a car, for instance.

But you show off on social media…

Sincerely, I don’t show off. Anybody that thinks I show off is suffering from inferiority complex. The only people that think I show off are those people that think they could be me or people who wish they could be close to me but can’t be. Maybe they like me too much and don’t want to agree they like me that much. These same people spend hours admiring the posts I put up.

What is the reason for putting up some of those pictures on Instagram and Twitter?

That is what social media is for. It is only in Nigeria that people have a problem with you posting pictures. While you are complaining that I am posting too many pictures, a true fan is admiring same and considers me as a mentor. Believe me, a lot of people think they know me, but they don’t.

http://www.talkwithdasilva.com/2015/02/after-yvonne-nelson-i-would-never-ever.html

For the record, I mean no disrespect to Iyanya nor his fans... but correct me if I'm wrong... Is Iyanya now goin to date " MALE CELEBRITIES" Considering female celebrities are bad choices??

Crocz:
Some church guys go be like: that's you step mother attacking you with some demons from hell, you should be afraid cos they want to burn ur glory to ashes, infact you've been damned to die a horrible death.


But guess what, it's just an ageing Owl that's too weak to fly!...pure coincidence it landed on his door step

.

Actually... it's a young owl. A barn owl. But judging from how it got trapped, it wouldn't have mattered if it's a much older owl:
It's certainly indisputable that Showkey has rodent infestation. And a severe case at that cos he put a gum trap OUTDOORS.
I think the trap caught a mouse or rat then the owl spotted it. Most likely devoured it before realising it was trapped too. There's no way an owl will take interest in an ordinary gum trap. Sadly, a gum trap to small animals or birds will feel like a human trying to pry himself of an adhesive teflon. Exhaustive and futile.

Unfortunately, the bird's a gonner. Cos Showkey himself is convinced it's no coincidence. Poor owl.

'Reminds me of an incident last year. An owl like such was found in front of our door step after coming back from mosque one morning. My brother believed.. in his words... "Boda, eye yen ki ise la san. Mo ma pa ni." Translation: "Brother, that bird ain't ordinary. I'm going to kill it.". I just left the spot.
I believe a witch won't take on a vulnerable form of a baby owl whose tail feathers are still short( a crucial element to flight, take off and maneuvers) instead of a full grown one. That can take care of itself.
Well.. I suppose all these fears and superstitions are what make us human.

As the military technology advances, these most expensive military aircraft in the world were created.
For the need of more powerful means of defense, flying military technology is/was developed.
Even creating a highly cost military equipment is not debatable by some people as it’s wasting government’s money, but the show must go on. Here’s the Top 10 most expensive military aircraft ever made in the world.
B-2 Spirit: $2.4 billion
https://www.therichest.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/b2_spirit.jpg
The B-2 bomber was so costly that Congress cut its initial 1987 purchase order from 132 to 21...
(A 2008 crash leaves the current number at 20.) The B-2 is hard to detect via infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual or radar signals. This stealth capability makes it able to attack enemy targets with less fear of retaliation. In use since 1993, the B-2 has been deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan.
F-22 Raptor: $350 million
https://www.therichest.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/f22_raptor.jpg
First conceived during the Cold War as an airframe to vie with Soviet aircraft that was never built, the F-22 is touted by manufacturer Lockheed Martin as the best overall combat plane in the world — not to mention the most expensive. It can shoot down enemy cruise missiles, fly long distances at supersonic speeds and avoid nearly all types of radar detection. But the Senate debate over whether to build seven more — at a taxpayer cost of $1.67 billion — eventually came down to the plane’s job-creating abilities. The axed project would have employed 25,000 Americans.
C17A Globemaster III: $328 million
https://www.therichest.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/c17a_globemaster3.jpg
The Air Force military-transport plane is used to move troops into war zones, perform medical evacuations and conduct airdrop missions. There are 190 C17As in service; the aircraft is propelled by four turbofan engines (of the same type used on the twin-engine Boeing 757) and can drop 102 paratroopers at once. In operation since 1993, it has been used to deliver troops and humanitarian aid to Afghanistan and Iraq.
P-8A Poseidon: $290 million
https://www.therichest.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/p8a_poseidon.jpg
Boeing’s spruced-up military version of its 737 jet will be used by the Navy to conduct anti-submarine warfare and gather intelligence. It can carry torpedoes, missiles, depth charges and other weapons. The P-8A is expected to go into service in 2013.
VH-71 Kestrel: $241 million
https://www.therichest.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/vh71_kestrel.jpg
This high-tech helicopter project, intended to replace the President’s aging chopper fleet, was running more than 50% over budget by the time Barack Obama took office. Soon after his Inauguration, the President announced plans to scrap the helicopters because of cost overruns. On July 22, however, the House Appropriations Committee unanimously approved restoring $485 million to fund the Kestrels.
E-2D Advanced Hawkeye: $232 million
https://www.therichest.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/e2d_hawkeye.jpg
A major step forward for surveillance and reconnaissance, the Advanced Hawkeye’s powerful new radar system will increase the range of territory an aircraft can monitor by 300%. “It can probably watch the pistachios pop in Iran,” an analyst for the think tank Lexington Institute told National Defense in July. Though development of the plane is on track and two test versions have been delivered to the Navy, budget cuts may keep the planes grounded for at least a year longer than planned.

Dude, nice find but grossly inacurrate.
The F-22 in service, number over a hundred. And the unit cost is $150m not $350m. It is the current. bad-ass fighter the USA has now.
Don't mean to be rude, but your source is a loada crap info.

bunmioguns:
I want to ask if it is wrong for your fiancee's parents to ask how much you earn as salary , month

It's not wrong. It's just rude.
Yes... he can ask such a question considering it's you who's asking for the girl's hand in marriage. And he has a right to know if you can take care of his daughter(Even though it's a shallow thought).
But it's rude cos anyone being asked such will feel very uncomfortable right then and after.

toba:
yet the quran says xtian would end up in hell right?

No. The Qur'an didn't say such and if you believe that it does, please, point out the exact chapter and verse.

'Seen 'Continuum' and 'Fallen Skies'.

And i thought i'd seen them all.

adexrocque: including the FARC and IRA .. i don't know when pple will stop being illogical and foolish.

@adexrocque:
The world will never run out of such foolish people...
It's funny how they think they're nothing like terrorist.
News flash BOZOs(all foolish people)..... the level of your intelligence portrays you as such.

bakynes: Even on the train and Buses white pple prefer to stand all through the
journey than sit close to a black person

logica: Are you complaining about that or have a problem with that? I will be glad if white people rather stand than sit next to me abeg; so I can sit comfy.

@logica:
Huh... you're an amateur. I would put a pillow(or use a backpack as one) on the vacant seats, lie, and snore with my mouth wide open till I get to my stop.
That's if the busy driver doesn't bother me cos some passengers would be standing. But.....
No be my fault na

sexzskil: Continue...No problem!

I'm watching you

My business is NOT you being you... but you soiling Islam with your unrestrained attitude cos you belive no one sees you and that you run your mouth as you please cos you feel there's nothing anyone can do about it is, certainly, irresponsible and immature.

GROW UP, BOY

sexzskil: Why are up with my friend's brother's pic. I give you 10 hrs to take the picture down

Or else what? Quit making lame threats.
And if that's true.... then he should tell his brother he's been keeping bad company, being friends with someone who throws caution to wind about sexual matters(albeit your signature) and other sensitive matters.

In relation to :
https://www.nairaland.com/1879370/top-seven-reasons-why-hitler#1879370.21

Muslim or not. Your thread is grossly inappropriate.
Forget about the fact that it was Jews that were persecuted by the Gestapo, the fact that a particular set of people were targeted for annihilation is horrific. That is Genocide.

Why would you celebrate that and compare him to Jesus. What is the matter with you?
Worse..., Nairalanders believe you gotta be a Muslim to have posted that crap. Like come'on anyone slowpoke who ain't Christian could have. Atheist, Pagan.... even an unenlightened Muslim. But i lean on the latter that, that's what you are.
Dude... here's my take on you:
You got no job. You are a "working Yahoo boy" who poses as a man or woman... as situation permits. You are much, in intelligence, like those Boko Haram pundits condemning civilisation and anything Christian because you're so carried away with hiding behind a mask(internet anonymity and/or clothes) as well as being very gullible with all the extremely illogical sermons delivered on Friday Jumat by Imams with like intelligence.
Do humanity a favour, quit being a fool and study the Holy Quran and Hadith by yourself VERY WELL. Because you do not have any understanding of the rationale behind the Holy Prophets actions nor do you have his spiritual guidance.

But just in case you wanna continue down your senseless path, I want the world to know your TRUE face.
