android dev..i asked based on i just came across lifecycle, coroutine's and data binding. Is complicated unlike how i used to build apps b4

Realoaac:
Thank you very much.
Actually that the big plan.
We have a responders app to get incidents directly, and a growing database of agencies worldwide.
So eventually incidents can go from into Sety and be dispatched to the right responder based on your location and you can see the responses in real time.
You know we don't have a sound danger dispatch in Nigeria like 911 abroad. It's a huge problem we want to ease.

admin500:
thanks big buddy, but are u a ui designer?

Jezking:
OK, everything you said is true to some extent. I'm not disputing any bit of it but here is something I think y'all hear.

I'm a self taught developer. True life story

I always wanted to code, so badly more than anything in the world but I was already doing graphic designs and had woes with the person who was teaching me graphics. So I decided to learn Web design on my own. I decided I was going to do it no matter what.

I decided to go for night class for the next 90days so I always have light. Also, Airtel night plan was #25 for 500MB and you could do it as many times as possible.

To cut the long story short I was like the best designer at my school after 90days. I now write React.js (that was acquired much later). There were nights with no light in school, also nights when Airtel network jonzed, but I never stopped.


In short just put your mind to it and be ready for anything and trust me even when you learn web development finish, get another skill as back up because this is Nigeria and we developers don't really get appreciated here!

In order news here is something I did in boredom MEMORY GAME

SegFault:
And I forgot to mention one thing, if you want to become a programmer you have to be pessimistic (theres no such thing as realism suck it up bro), if you are learning to make money, I pity you the most. Think of it as a hobby lest it will end in tears, some sort of industrial revolution is happening in Nigeria and jobs like Programming, graphics design, photography are becoming more competitive because more and more people are going into these fields and it's about to become a tough battle, if you are entering into the field newly, just expect nothing, because you will be disappointed not to mention the prospects of something stupid like a spoilt laptop, bankruptcy in the family and other disasters that could occur that will pull you down to the ground and yes, I just remembered Africans especially Nigerians find it hard to get clients, unfortunately westerners appreciate tech more than we Africans face facts and with the recent rise in fraudulent crimes from this part of the country and thanks to the media, an average foreigner looks down on us as fraudsters, PayPal has closed its docks to us (you can only send but not receive cash) and PayPal is a platform for payment used by many freelance websites, I heard there's a way through but do that research yourself, fact is that unfortunately hostility towards Nigerians has grown and that will affect we programmers terribly.

Real truth from a fellow programmer, if you love writing fiction, just go and write, there are not much interesting contemporary reads out there so just write good books, writing has its negative sides like finding an editor and a publisher but its gain is sweet man, you can also write articles and all, less brain work for more money, that is so on point. If you can paint or draw just try your luck at it, you might produce a thousand dollar worth painting or even more . If you love business then go at it, because if you think programming must/will (noticed I used must/will, by saying this I am assuming you are one of those foolish optimists that deny life is empty and full of suffering and just by "thinking positively" good things will happen) fetch you with a stable source of living, face reality man. It might not happen (a 70% chance yes).

devbits:

Good evening everyone. Please is there anyone yet to get his/her unilever portal date updated. I mean the lower part that shows updated: (the date you took your HireVue digital interview) changed to a recent date?

fhranchez:
Dear programmers, How do you memorize your syntax and make sure it sticks even when working on complex projects.


Coding is really hard without mastering the basics

azeez1973:
that looks great
What field are you into?

codeigniter:
I see a lot of post about startup here, they go offline and the thread dies and nothing is being done and it makes me wonder if people here really has what it takes to start a company.

I am interested as long as the idea is solid, and u guys are serious

Change the http proxy settings to auto detect proxy. Do not set it yourself.

Connect your system to phone hotspot whenever you want to connect to internet.
