I've read a couple of articles that recommend programmers should also be fast typists. I am ponderously slow at 35wpm - no code. What's yours?

Here's a funny video that **explains** the history of Christianity:

These are not free e-books; they're pirated copies. Visit www.dzone.com for refcards or look up "free legal php/mysql ebooks".

Ekennovative: As I said earlier, this article is not for everyone but for those who wants to change for the better.

The fact is that if you really want to grow in life, then you must abandon all forms of cheating-be it casual, secret or open.

It was also a very difficult decision knowing that I can download whatever I want free of charge.

But it's this kind of decision that will take me far in life(and it can take you too). Free browsing cheats are very enticing but it's one of the weapons of satan(whether you believe it or not).

Avoid little little sins like this and lots of your life's question will be answered. E.g why doesn't God answer my prayers? God wants purity and anything can easily dent it.

Be different!

I'm inspired by your courage. Thank you so much. I've been off cheats and pirated material for about six months now and I know how hard it is to stay that way.

off topic: I wish nairaland wouldn't refresh everytime I click "Like".

1 more step towards ridding Lagos of chaos. Thank you, Fashola.

fubbyy: why did you regret not being posted to a secondary school? Explain please because am entering camp on 26th of this month and I've been planning on how to influence my ppa not to be in secondary school and you are regretting not being there Lol..

MOderator I think this post is a front page material for we aspiring corpers

It's personal: I like to teach. I don't get to teach at the university I was posted to.

I regret joining a dormant CDS group. I also regret not being posted to a secondary school, too.

Ondo: N5000k. It depends on your PPA, though. At Adekunle Ajasin University, it's N8000k.

I will certainly leave for the same reasons you gave. I am a Batch C corper, though.

webdezzi: I still wonder why the powerful Actionscript is not listed.

Python.
Python is a Rapid Application Development(RAD) language which lets you write complex software with less codes.
It is made juicier with the arrays of available modules that makes your programming life fun, easy and exciting.
As a developer, if you pick up python and dedicate say 2 weeks to learning it, You wont go back.

Python is not only addictive but also clean and organized. You can read through source codes written in python and you know what they do right a way.
the syntax design is near perfect as it lets you code without thinking of ending every line with semi-colons, no dollar signs, no var, Dim or the likes.
Python developers here can add theirs.

I second this [color=#990000][/color]. Python's syntax is so clean that other languages are copying it. Think CoffeeScript and many of EcmaScript 5 and 6's features.
