CCNA training in india is only one week because of the sophistication of their educational system, as they a familier with a lot of networking concept at secondary school level. But is Nigeria 4 months is okay for CCNA training. I did mine in a registered university cisco academy and spent 9 months , the curriculum is very challenging. but pracitce is the in thing , get a used cisco router 9- 15 k in computer village or a simulator and keep breaking your head on the command line.

ProgrammingRe: Difference Between A Programmer And A Web Developer? by onlysose(m): 1:22pm On Jun 01, 2010
Most web developers including those that use GUI like dreamweaver, HTML pro have HTML basic, as such they are programmers. HTML is a high level progamming language. They also play around with scripting Languages most especially client side scripting languages. If you go through the undergraduate curriculum for software engineering you will find out that a software engineer is a programmer that iss some how an achitect, cos programming is one aspect of software development

Below is a caption of of a publication I will want you to go through.

Now, to the ultimate IT skill, programming. It is a very old IT skill. In fact, it makes everything happen. The first programmer in the world is a lady called Ada Byron, her work is the first intended algorithm to be processed by a machine. She foresaw the ability of computers to go beyond mere calculation or number crunching. Everything you see is some sort of codes, I mean programs, and I mean software. If the internet is a car, then software is its engine. The business world has plenty to lose if software fails. When software fails, millions of dollars are lost and sometimes people are killed. It is like this; functions makes up commands, and commands makes up programs and programs finally makes up software. Therefore, if you have a degree in software engineering, you should be conversant with some programming skills like Java, C/C++, HTML, Perl etc.
Programming can be very difficult, but also very rewarding. It is the highest paying and time consuming IT skill. I will never forget how happy I was when I compiled and ran my first COBOL program in Zaria in 1996. I started programming in Dbase and now I am into C/C++ to enhance my security skills. Now, how you go about your programming career is the big issue you will have to deal with.

The major goal of any programming language is to bridge the gap between the programmer's brain and the computer. Most of the popular languages you've probably heard of, like C, C++, C#, and Java, are considered high-level languages, which means that they're closer to human language than machine language. What I mean is that you write source codes that looks like English, then you run it into a program that outputs 0s and 1s that the CPU understands. It is important to note that you can program in high level, middle level or lower level language. The High Level Language is a machine-independent, sophisticated programming language that uses familiar English (or any human language) like syntax. The lower level language as I said is a machine readable language, while the middle level language can only call functions and it shares both attributes of the higher and the lower level language. Compilers translate High Level Language to machine readable language. Also, you can program with either object oriented or non-object oriented program. What is an Object Oriented Program? Programs are usually made up of objects. In a non object oriented program like FORTRAN which is still in use today, the programs are executed in a highly procedural manner( step by step) i.e from A to B to C to D and so on. In an Object Oriented Program the objects can interact irrespective of hierarchy, one can get from A to D without passing through B and D. The business world is object oriented. In Nigerian institutes of higher learning, students of computer science begin with BASIC and FORTRAN. In the UK, students are introduced to Pascal in their first year. All these languages teach you the basics of programming that helps you understand how to think while programming in any language. However, with line numbers, GOTO commands, etc, in these languages, it does not encourage structured, modular programming like Perl, Python, and C.

Nowadays there are so many different choices in programming and some are more suited to certain applications than others are. If you are doing mainly web stuff, PHP, Perl, ASP, are some good tools for you. Perl, php and python mentioned above are scripting languages and they can do the work of each other. Scripting languages are called interpreted languages because they don’t need to be converted to 1s and 0s. Perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language) is a general purpose programming Language derived from C basically for text manipulation. It was created by a linguist called Larry Wall who got the name Perl from the Gospel of Mathew in the new testament in The Parable of Pearl. Scripting languages enable fast development, though there is usually a performance penalty. Even within scripting languages we have server side scripting languages like php, Perl and client side scripting languages like JavaScript.



When venturing into programming, I always recommend C. It is about the best language to learn how to program. In addition, it is incredibly powerful (the fact that almost all exploits and low-level handling is written in C is a proof). Besides, you need to learn the issues that come along with writing in a language like C. Perl and Python are great, but I think they are too high level. They take away many of the important decisions. You do not need to think about data-types too much. Therefore, Python will provide a quick learning curve with real results for less time invested.

Python also has an ordered way of doing things, so it will teach discipline.
Python can be scaled for larger projects and has good community support. This means, it will be a language that is versatile. Despite that, C is the choice because it appears fundamental to many other languages and it is a lot more "pure" i.e. in handling memory better. However, this is at the cost of the speed of development. Start with C and every other thing is easy.

The argument of which programming language to start with or stick to is a never-ending one; be it C, C++, java or Python. Python seems easy, powerful and well documented. Python, PERL and PHP as I said earlier are the kind of languages that you can stick with and play forever, making all kinds of useful apps and interfaces. The great thing is you see fast results. Just as soon as you read a couple of pages describing the basic syntax, rules and constructs, you are ready to go (by referring to the function list for whatever you need of course). Mistakes often do not bring punishment and you need not to be concerned with some of the behind-the-scenes stuffs, like the memory allocations etc. Of course, let us not forget that some real developers bother with these to allow us to work without them. That is the difference between C and scripting languages. With C, you get to see things the way they actually work on your computer -better even, make them work yourself, while in Python for instance you only mess with things that appear more directly functional and practical. Depending on one's interests and needs, he might find the extra control of C exciting.

If someone gets seriously involved with a powerful high-level language that provides the wanted results with small effort, it is easy to get used to it. However, I still stick to my recommendation - start directly with C, because other languages may spoil you enough to stay away from C later on. Moreover, if you are a very ambitious person, then start with C/C++. However, if you are the mere play code type, start with Perl. Perl is fun, and for someone just starting to get their feet in programming, you are less likely to get discouraged when some odd error keeps your first few programs from working. In addition, it is hard not to stay interested when you go on CPAN and see a module that is easy and fun and allows you to connect and use IRC. Even a beginner can boast of some skill, and then you start learning because it is fun. Then, later you can move to C/C++.


Programming is like a chameleon that changes color in different environments. Structured programming like C does not allow any bad habits and you have to learn how to structure your programming properly. When you use a language that forces you to structure your programs properly, once you have mastered it, it really does not matter what language you wish to use after that, your programs will always be structured correctly and thus much easier to write and design even large complex applications. You also have to bear in mind what you are going to be creating applications for we are in the .NET arena and Object Oriented so take your VB, C# (C sharp), C++, j# etc very serious. I like the flexibility of VB and C sharp as they all run on .NET platform. VB is very easy to learn, it is an event driven language. You can build an application in few minutes with VB. What could take you a week to do in C++ could take you few hours to do with VB. There are lots of forms embedded that you could just drag and past. And then you can place scripts like python, Perl, php or JavaScript under the forms so that when you click on the forms the scripts will run.

The .NET platform is a collection of technologies that allow Microsoft applications and programs to work together. With the exception of Windows 95 the .NET framework runs on all Win32 operating systems. The .NET platform is totally standardized in the sense that you can write an XML application in Java and my C# can read the XML generated. Before the .NET era the VB programmers where greatly hindered compared to C++ programmers. The languages involved in the .NET platform are: VB .NET, C#.NET, J#, ASP.NET, and even Cobol.NET, Pascal.NET etc. All these Languages have the same access to the .NET class library i.e. mostly what VB can do C# can also do. ASP.NET is a mixture of C#, HTML and server control syntax for ASP. Visit msdn.microsoft.com/Netframework for more information.



Here are programming tracks using Microsoft platforms, you can Google the codes.

WEB developer
070 536 + 070 528 + 070 547 = Microsoft Certified Professional Developer

Windows Developer
070 532 + 070 526 + 070 548 = Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (Win Apps)

Enterprise Application Developer
070 529 + 070 536 + 070 526 + 070 528 + 070 549 = MCPD




Java was introduced in 1995, and .NET is Microsoft's response to the Java phenomenon. Microsoft has jumped headlong into the mobile code fray with their .NET framework, as .NET architecture has much in common with Java. One major difference is a smaller emphasis on multiplatform support. However, Java introduced the world to mobile code and modern network-centric software design. Java is also another good object oriented programming that is platform independent. Java is an extremely powerful full -featured object oriented language which is platform independent i.e It can be written in Windows and run Unix. Just about any business application can be written in Java which includes: database applications, games applications, web based applications, mobile applications, server-side applications etc, but, I am afraid to say this –Java is very difficult to learn. Java is free and can be downloaded from:

http://java.sun .com
http://www.java.com

The various flavors of Java technology are:

J2SE- Corel Desktop
J2EE- Enterprise/Server
J2ME- Mobil/Wireless
Java Card
Java Web Service


Also, Java language is written tightly to avoid malicious intent, because when you have a java applet executed in an environment there is going to be what we call a sandbox environment created, that is that applet is going to be restricted to the resources within a certain limitation of that environment, unlike some other programming languages that will allow control over a whole device once it is being executed in a particular environment. C and C++ have out-of-date memory management capability and technically speaking, C and C++ are "unsafe" languages because the seething sea of bits can be referenced, manipulated, cast, and moved around by the programmer with impunity. More advanced languages, including Java and C#, are "type safe" and are for this reason much preferred from a security perspective.

Another important aspect of programming is called music programming. When computers became prominent part of our lives, people try to make music with computers using assembly languages, later on programmers started using FORTRAN which is much more portable to create music. These days people use ChucK ( watch the spelling) programming language to create music instead of assembly language. ChucK is a concurrent, strongly timed audio programming language for real-time synthesis, composition, and performance, which runs on Mac OS X, Linux, and Microsoft Windows. It is designed to favor readability and flexibility for the programmer over other considerations such as raw performance. Assembly language is a low-level programming language used mostly in the early 1950s. It can be used to write viruses or device drivers. Do you remember Atari games, Sega and Super Nintendo? Assembly language was used to create their games.



We cannot just pick which is good or best programming language. Every programming language got its own importance and benefits, so it depends upon the requirement and its usability, functionality and robustness. You can stick to one or two for dynamism and you are in business. These days, you can make as high as $500,000 for a custom built software for a financial institution excluding training and cost of maintenance which is usually charged per person-hour.

Sahih Bukhari told us that Aisha narrated the hadidth herself and hadith is the sunnah of the holy prophet
which we are suppose to copy. The prophet- PBUH has permitted things like contract marriage in the past during warfare but latter disbanded it . The prophet was very clear about things he did and told us not to do. This point you raised has given you away because no one has contested this hadith and its teachings.
now I am convince you have a very poor education in islam.



As regards to common sense

what ever we do as muslims we first look at the holy koran and the koran has taken care of every thing
You cant produce a chapter like the holy koran. THere is nothing that is not explained in the holy Koran- I know
this staement will be too complex for you to comprehend.




when Allah gives orders we follow irrespective of how it looks like.The Prophet gave us choices because people are different. when you break your fasting intentionally you have the option of feeding 60 needies or fasting for 60 days repayment.

And those ladies that were taken under trees at midnight by pastors from Redeem and Christ Embassy for special prayers. The pastors lay their hands on their foreheads, their necks, their chests and rock their breasts throughout the night. Surely the pastors told them, you have been delivered and no one can take the anointing from you. I saw this, and the earth is my witness.

You use common sense alot. Personally I  dont  like yerima, he is a politician, a 419er, etc but the issue here  is  not  yerima, it is  Islam. I dont  know your background but  Islam permitted child marriage. child  marriage is  not an  obligation. child marrriage is becoming old  fashion these days  because it is  all about  choices. I  believe child  marriage has a  space in our practice as muslims that  is  why  Allah in his  almighty wisdom  permitted it . Adult marriage is  also allowed  in Islam. The way  we  worship  as  muslim is that if  today their is an islamic law that say muslims dont  take shortcuts  while  working along  your  streets,  we  submit. we dont go into  what is common sense about   taking  shortcuts. As humans we  would want  to  ask  a  lot  of questions  about the  nature God, why  we have to  worship him, how comes  about God. then  use  common  sense here. In  the  bible  the  holy spirit doesnt  forgive  blasphemy then use  your  common  sense Its  all  about  faith. common sense is  an  easy exit  out  of religion. I try as  much  as possible  to  dodge  laws that  I  am  not  comfortable  with in a situation   where  I  am  faced  with  choices. some  other  people could  choose not to dodge those  laws.

I am not arguing against myself. There most be few deviants, that doesnt mean the law should not hold and that is is human nature. It is also important that you know that I am not the reasoning why your brothers are suffering here at home, they are suffering because the pastors and the reverend fathers are taking 80% of their income in the name of tithe, offering, seed and levy.

You  have a small brain, there is  nothing like  common sense in the world. Read  the Holy Koran and  you will find out that  the wisdom  in it  has exceeded common sense. All tribes  in the world are in conflict as regards  to  what is common sense.  Do you attend churches that speak in tongue? so dont feed us  any crap  about common sense . Check  this out .Every Sunday morning I  wake up to see this priest in one of these white garmen  churches walk bear  footed with his children( probably 9-10years old) who are also  bear footed in front  of  my  house. What  always comes to my mind is that if  this  guy is  strong enough to stand  the dangers of working bear footed, how about the kids that were dragged into  this.  Now we are in the path  between the two  opposite extremes: common sense or  faith. I  hope child right has covered  this  too.

The problem here is    that people are responding to the wrong  argument.

what argument ?

At what level of maturity should a man involved  in child  marriage  start sleeping  with his spouse? In pracitce, mostly these girls  grow up to maturity level before their  partners  start sleeping with  them,  though  I  cannot  say this for  every family.

Islam is sweet

Islam has remained the most protected religion of all times because of the constancy of the holy Koran.

In islam we dont use common sense, we use the Koran.

More than one thousands years ago the koran and the holy prophet gave us detail account of the anotomy of the birth of a child from conception to delivery that science is just discovering.This prophet thought us the structure of the marine life,stars,galaxies and the universe at large that science is just discovering. And yet this Prophet allow child marriage. The real meaning of faith is belief without evidence. If you choose to be a nun or a gay priest it looks
some how but that is up to you. If yerima chooses to marry a 13 years old then it is up to him. it is a choice in Islam.
For centuries this has been practiced in Hausa land and I dont know why it is an issue now. I served in the eastern part Nigeria and I see JSS one students bethrothed to men that are paying their school fees, were these students consulted before this arrangement. Somethings just look inside out at face at face value.

Westernisation has a lot of influence on the mordern christians

It is the western countries that are pushing forward child right in African countries.
compare their children with ours. that is what child right did to them.

It is the western countries that are pushing gay right and gay marriage in Africa.Go Malawi
