Programming / Re: My Google Developer Account Got Terminated by Millerules(m): 11:18am On Feb 12 |
No termination is wrongful. It’s clearly stated by google that your account will be terminated after recurrent app suspension or rejection. Go through the reasons stated when the app was suspended and read carefully. If possible google search it has someone else must have had such issues before. Whoever uploads your app even by changing the name will eventually get terminated. Stop saying it’s a wrongful termination. What’s the app about anyways? |

Programming / Re: I Want To Start A Tech Career On AWS Cloud Computing by Millerules(m): 12:29pm On Jan 13 |
Hi, like someone above mentioned buy the Udemy Courses by Stephane for AWS. If you’re not in a hurry, wait till mid of the year and enroll for Stanbic IBTC Disep Program. It’s a scholarship and they’ll pay fully for your certifications for AWS/AZURE. It’s expensive, but if you have the resources and the you can get the Udemy courses by Stephane then you’re good to go. Best Wishes. |
Programming / Re: Native Mobile Development Dieing Or What! by Millerules(m): 11:33pm On Dec 06, 2023 |
A lot is evolving around mobile development. Most programming languages are evolving to make the idea-to-market more easier and faster. But I can tell you for free native mobile development is not dieing but rather evolving. Talk about Apple, with Swift(plus Swift UI) you can build an app that runs on all Apple Devices regardless of screen sizes. Android with Kotlin and Compose UI has also made native Android development faster and easier. Major issue about cross platform development has always been the hardware differences, not the business logic which is usually the same across all platforms. And with these core native languages moving towards declarative UIs, there’s no limit to what is achievable. People have usually bent towards Flutter and React Native for cross platform mobile development, but if you are following the trend you will know the time is coming where “the sweet and easy” swift and kotlin would surpass them. If you’re learning mobile dev in 2024, just stick with SwiftUI and ComposeUI and you are good. …My Opinion. 4 Likes |
Programming / Re: JS AND Cpp Boys Will Be Upset By This by Millerules(m): 10:08pm On Nov 14, 2023 |
InteliJ: It’s funny you quoting me and at the same time, your comment shows you have seen couple of my comments on here. I’m not here to give inspiration to anyone. Neither am I here to ginger anyone. Lots of ideas to build upon and from of the previous post on here we were pointing at some very few niches typical Nigerians would voluntarily pay for e.g betting, porn etc. I’m not here to market what I have worked on. This is not the right platform. I can’t be pointing them out, I don’t work for any organization neither. I am a self employed tech-prenuer. I didn’t learn tech out of passion or whatever folks call it lately, i learnt it for the money and to provide solutions people would voluntarily pay to use. If I want advertise I have the right platforms to pay for that and the targeted audience (not Nigerians) In short my bro, find a problem and provide aa solution and make money soft. Forget abt the tech jargons here and there. No tech company is out there to boast about their backend but the product they’ve got to offer. It’s simple, think like a businessman than a tech enthusiast. Peace my bro. N.B: you can be broke and build a product that would pay you millions, and I am talking from experience. Only if you know how much people make from Ads targeting US/UK/Canada and co. |
Programming / Re: JS AND Cpp Boys Will Be Upset By This by Millerules(m): 9:32am On Nov 08, 2023 |
Una go just dey worry about techs lol. Build products!! Think like a business man. Build something people will pay you to use. Even if it’s to build and put ads on it. If you want to work for big tech companies fine, but not everyone gets such opportunities. A junior mobile developer with couple of meaningful and bug-free apps earn close if not even more than a bank manager just from Adverts. Lol Poverty no dey tire una? 8 Likes 1 Share |
Programming / Re: Are Nigerians Too Poor To Pay For Software Subscriptions Or Just Too Stingy ? by Millerules(m): 2:15pm On Oct 20, 2023 |
Paystack: What fintechs charge avearge Nigerians by subscriptions? I don't believe there is any. Except if you as using their SDKs, APIs and Payment links and they even charge by every transactions. And how many average Nigerians pay for social media apps? Except you are an influencer or using the platform for business. I understand why OP must feel bad about this issue he/she raised. No every developer has to work for an organization. There are many solo Developers making thousands of dollars from their apps in top countries like US or UK. The few here in Nigeria has to make an app targeting these countries to make such amount from here. In-App subscriptions aside, you would make much more if your app is targeting a US/UK/Canada market with a free app showing Adverts and with just 1000 users than same app targeting Nigeria/African Countries/India with 10,000 users. Why? User in those countries has more tendency to click and Ad and buy. It's simple, people would rather hold that cash than let go even if the app is useful to them here in Nigeria. They would rather hit your review section with bad comments asking why they have to pay for it and not free for use. The purchasing power is next to nothing. If it's not Betting, Porn and any other thing they cannot be proud to say in public that they paid for, forget it. PS: We are talking about average Nigerians. Not folks using Paystack, Flutterwave etc. for one business or the other. Let's all rest abeg, just simply think like a business man out to make money than like a Developer, if you wan chop with your skills. |

YoungCabal: Bro you don’t have to be angry, but your observation is valid. I have an app I made freemium for about a year. Few months ago I removed the Watch Ads to Use option and made it strictly subscriptions as Google took the app down from their store for some reasons. The number of emails I get from Nigerians and Indians on a daily asking stupid questions complaining why is the app no longer free is just too much. I no kuku send. Best market is US by far. Those folks don’t mind and they will always take time to give honest reviews on your app. Only time most Nigerians take time to post a review na to complain. 5 Likes 1 Share |

gistray: If the app is not on PlayStore and downloaded from the web the app can still call the AdvertisingClient to get the ID since it has been programmed so. I’m really not sure if it’s PlayStore alone I was only guessing it could be tied to PlayStore user instance. However, I have seen some cases where the client returns a generic ID something like 000000. Be sure to test for your requirements. |
Programming / Re: N5000 For Correct Answer: How Does Palmpay Do This? by Millerules(m): 10:22am On Sep 03, 2023 |
gistray: Hi. Have you tried resetting the AdvertisingID? I have used it once for an app to limit content. Clearing app data or reinstalling wouldn’t work until you do a hard reset of the device or reset the ads id. Even Google uses the ads id for ads tracking thats how they serve targeted ads. It’s wrong though according to Android best practices if you are not using it for Ads related purposes. I have shared a link. Try all the possible ways highlighted there it definitely should be one of those. Updated: I’m no sure even resetting the device would work as I believe it’s tied to your PlayStore account. So signing in same Google Play Store account should restore the previous AdvertisingID. I have not tested that before, you should. PS: Don’t use this for illegal purposes oo.

Programming / Re: !webdev by Millerules(m): 11:48am On Jun 26, 2023 |
airsaylongcome: I get your point and really didnt't take the "drive" part of your comment as an insult. I was only trying to make a point out, and like I said it's a starting point have a cloud certification, and I may not be the HR who hired the Ghanaian, but I am sure he had more to bring to the table than just the certification. I work on my own, not everyone gets to work for an organization. Anything I need to run for my business or for a client, I self-learn. It's simply in the context of the discussion I had to point out it goes way beyond just the certification, drive yea maybe, but also what you have been able to gather from months to years of working with other stacks. The OP was saying why don't people consider other tech fields aside from programming, especially non-programming ones e.g DevOps, there was an argument about how entry-level friendly it may be, and I still insist on the fact that DevOps is not entry-level friendly. You may say you can take up DevOps in six months or less, would you say the same for someone who has never written a line of code before? Or someone who just started out learning HTML+CSS? It's possible yes, but if I have to employ such persons I would decline. Even AWS recommends taking each certification exams after a year of hands-on and familiarizing with the tools, still does not mean people go by that. I had 3 AWS certifications in 2 months highest of them was the Cloud Dev Associate. Not like it's what I wanted at the time, yet the knowledge has been very helpful lately. In summary I am saying DevOps is not what you can jump on because they say it's non-programming which practically it is. I had severally time self-learning DevOps and I can say for a fact it is not entry-level friendly, but very possible with a year plus of learning. Didnt learn to get employed full-time, but as knowledge I can apply in my day-to-day. |
Programming / Re: !webdev by Millerules(m): 10:55am On Jun 26, 2023 |
airsaylongcome: I don't know if you know but Cloud Computing is totally different from DevOps. AWS Cloud Developer Associate certification can give you a heads up as per being comfortable with cloud tools but bro DevOps goes beyond. There are other AWS Certifications that are more DevOps focus but it's a ladder you need to climb gradually, and mind you AWS certifications are tough ask anyone in you circle who has written one. AWS Cloud Practitioner na child's play. About the drive, thanks bro I am comfortable where I am atm. I was only considering DevOps (Lol!). I'm a full-time Mobile Dev and I delve into new stuffs every now and then, it was a scholarship and I couldn't say no. But yet, all my resources are now hosted on AWS, thats where the knowledge came handy, and AWS or is not what you can just jump on even with a practitioner certification. So back to the discussion, I only quoted you to point out DevOps go way beyond Cloud computing certifications, though it's a good starting point doesn't mean it's easy going forward. You can't even make a Docker container if you don't know how Front-end and Backend work LoL! say less automating testing and building to deploy. I delved in a bit but really I am comfortable where I am atm, drive or no drive. |
Programming / Re: !webdev by Millerules(m): 7:35am On Jun 26, 2023 |
niel63: I agree with you. There’s a lot to cover to get the “entry roles” you see around for DevOps and they are not that easy to grasp for entry level devs. airsaylongcome you mentioned going through AWS cloud computing courses but sincerely that still wouldn’t make it easier for anyone getting into DevOps. I got the AWS Cloud Developer Associate sometime last year and afterwards I was considering switching to DevOps, bro it was just a scratch on the surface for DevOps even though experience with cloud tools is usually a requirement. There’s a lot to cover and grasp and you have to be hands-on forget the non-programming thing. To actually get a lot done you need to be on CLI and Text Editors. You need a lot of Linux, be comfortable with Python, YAML and so on. 2 Likes |

Programming / Re: Is Android App Development With Java Now Outdated? by Millerules(m): 5:26pm On Jun 14, 2023 |
Compose has stable versions already. It's new and it's improving. Kotlin works pretty fine with Android views. I haven't migrated fully to compose as well, but if I was to be learning Android Development in 2023 it definitely would be with Kotlin. I learnt Java first about 6yrs ago. I would advise OP if it's Android you have in mind, go Kotlin. Compose is still coming big that would even make Kotlin fully SwiftUI compatible if you decide to take iOS Development in future. If you however have this nice and cool idea and need to hit the market ASAP, you can consider React Native or Flutter (both are multiplatform atm, even Kotlin is but I would advice learning SwiftUI as a Kotlin Android Dev for multiplatform development) One cent! qtguru: |

Programming / Re: Am I Too Old To Be Learning Fullstack Development by Millerules(m): 8:05am On May 13, 2023 |
You're not to old. Programming is for everyone but sadly, not everyone can be a programmer. You can be sound academically and be a shitty coder if you cannot be logical in the way you think. But it's not the end, and I'm not trying to discourage you. Start from the very basics, html is a good start and then you move up from there. But then age is not on your side. If you have the determination, you will get there some day. Or simply change your track. Programming is not the only paying IT skills anymore. |

Programming / Re: How Did You Succeed As A Developer/programmer? by Millerules(m): 11:43am On Jan 25, 2023 |
Leaving passion aside and making money the primary motivation. Think business, not the tech. For starters, when choosing what to build for portfolio projects, choose something marketable and useful for other users. Something they would want to pay for to use (premium or freemium) and target the US market. Sincerely some $100/$200 monthly from couple of apps will keep you motivated while you prepare the big guns. 1 Like 1 Share |

It's your choice to make nobody can practically help you with that. I'll advice you start with Software Development (if you're good at it, you're good). You can then focus on deploying Software solutions in the cloud (i.e Cloud Computing) and try getting DevOps knowledge alongside. 1 Like |

ERCROSS: Salary can’t be the only judging criteria. If you’ve tried Web (including Backend) and Mobile (Native IOS and Android) you’ll easily find Mobile Dev has a very steep learning curve why most folks dump it along the way and settle for web. But since you mentioned salary, that of a Full stack Mobile Dev is still more than a Full stack Web Dev. 1 Like |
