Thanks, nice. But in respect to developing app and web design what's your take between JavaScript and Python?

Web design is different from development
Tools used in web design include Photoshop, Sketch etc

Web development is divided into front-end and back-end
Front-end is the use of HTML, CSS and JavaScript
Back-end languages include Python, Java, Go, JavaScript (node), Php etc

As for developing apps, it depend on what platform you want to develop for
Web? JavaScript
Mobile? Java(android) , Swift(iOS), Kotlin(android) etc
Desktop? C++, C#, Python etc

Do read more on the subject

Two lines

// JavaScript with some ES6 and recursion trick 

const list = ['a','b',3,NaN,undefined, 'i'],
    reverse = ([first, ...rest]) =>
        rest.length > 0 ?
            [...reverse(rest), first]
        :
            [first]
;

console.log(reverse(list))

// One line with an IIFE thrown in the mix

console.log((function reverse ([first, ...rest]) {
    return (
        rest.length > 0 ?
            [...reverse(rest), first]
        :
            [first]) }
    )
(['a','b',3,NaN,undefined, 'i'])
);

what could be wrong with a laptop that powers on but display refuse to work. It powers on normally but screen refuse to display (like it's dead) but the screen is not damaged

"major websites" (most websites really) aren't built by a single person

When I began self study on Java, someone encouraged me here to start with C. I wen on with my Java and I'm enjoying the learning. However, I just started my Msc and C is among those language we must know. I did C during my undergraduate days but can't remember a thing on it. I've downloaded "C How to Program" by Paul Deitel. Please, how do I get a compiler for C? Can I compile C on cmd like Java? If yes, how? If no, what should I do? Gracia!

Yes if on linux GCC is installed by default just $ cc [some flags] *infile* [some flags] *outfile* you then run with $ ./outfile . You could also look into clang . I'm not sure for other OS

asalimpo:
popular opinion, but b.s. I dont use google and i'm doing fine.

he didnt call people that don't use google bad programmer, he said people who frown at using google. As for the matter of you not using google, I believe you have another source for quick reference (might be the documentation or even the source code) Trying to know everything offhand, I believe is a sign of a bad programmer

johngorithm:
what do you have in mind if I may ask....?

nothing really, I was just curious

johngorithm:
Because it's syntax structure is clearer and basically, the most widely used python version in the world.

can you back this up with examples (clearer syntax) and facts (wider usage)

Why py2.7? Don't give a support answer

Of course nairaland is fast, it's just a static site with very little interaction built with a table layout **shudders** and lest i forget with html4

my people my people forefront of religion, superstition and corruption. Bunch of hypocrites!

We still have a hundred years of being a developing nation

I'll comment later.. busy now

From the logo.png, it looks like index starts from 1(not 0). Why?

Python for quick and light programming.

Javascript [ frontend $ backend ] for web applications

Java for heavyweight projects

C / C++ for core and system stuffs

I used to love PHP then. But I said bye bye to that good friend of mine.

feeling you

Ok But You're Saying Java Is Harder To Learn Than Javascript Which At The Long Run Becomes Hard To Master. And I'm Saying Javascript Is Harder To Learn At The Begining But Easy To Master At The Long Run. To Say You've Mastered Java Would Mean To Know Anonymous Classes, Inner Classes, Threading, Generics, Collection Classes, Annotations, Lambda Expression, Regexp Etc This Topics Are No Joke For A Beginner To Master, Compared To Javascript!!

I wouldn't know bro, I don't code Java. Maybe

worisj:
3) Scoping : In Java Variables Are Said To Be In Scope When The{ } Is Encountered. Not The Same For Javascript, Variables Are In Scope When In Functions And To Make A Variable Visible To Only A Function An IIFE(immediately Invoked Function Expression) Has To Be Invoked That Has Its Own Special Syntax.

{
let a = 2
console.log(a) // 2
}
console.log(a) // error

and the reasons you mentioned above are what I meant by mastering JS.

See Olumyco 's post above

worisj:
Have You Done Java Before?

I just printed hello world! is all i've ever done with it

dhtml18:
Which one is more difficult to learn and master? JAVA or JAVAScript?

JavaScript is super easier to learn but harder to master

**JS**
$(function (){
Console.log("HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU !!!";
})

(birthday = () => console.log("happy birthday!" )();

chido4real:
Actually, if you use the --mangle option with uglify, the code won't be exactly the same way it was even after beautification. Only hardcore pros would still be able to understand the code at that point.

The thought of going through all these to hide JS client side means something is wrong. Like someone said, what ever needs to be hidden has to be done server side. People are making open source projects, someone wants to hide client side JavaScript

why would you need to hide it? I don't think there is any viable reason

Nascimento:
First of all, no-one-in-all language.

JavaScript is proving to be an all in all language for web development. I agree with you though

Just passing by

Ebuka2016:
is it possible for one person to be both a front end designer and a back end developer? Dats what i want to do. I want to learn both

It's very possible, thats what people go into these days: full stack development. I would recommend freecodecamp.com and w3schools.com. Check them out. For books, check out "head first" books. They've written books for many languages (if you are new to programming you might want to start with head first programming, it introduces programming using python). But I've found out that online resources are the best

Ebuka2016:
ok....i neva considered removing it for one sec

the way you said thanks scared me

BTW frontend or backend

Don't remove JavaScript o

No credible source.
