Thanks boss. have added u on yim, kindly accept my humble request.

i have received the link but its not working. it brings error. thanks anyway, maybe another link

or try finding solution to iphone4 untethered unlock. lol

Gsmxpert:
the gsm programming is mostly made up of pre programmed arrays and controls, instructed to perform a certain task whenever an activity is detected.

you are specifying the activaties to be detected, and the actions to be performed. algorithms from chips are the most challenging. but u will get over it.

when i retire from rim will surely make it rampant in nigeria. planning to build an unlocking box soon.

I really do appreciate your replies. i will try download d book wen nepa bring light. It will b cool if u can make an unlocking box. But d bb phones is been unlock by code, y not do that for a start and if possible try find solution to bb used counter.

Gsmxpert:
dont let anybody deceive you, with or without resources you can be a programmer if you aspire, i started with no one and nothing, mine is the most challenging, am a mobile phone programmer, i have to make softwares and get them to communicate with phones, which means i have to know the type of algorithm coded in phone chips by removing and reading via pony prog, i started making faulty programmes after 2 weeks of reading books, surely VB is best for a newbie, check out gsmforum now and see my works. i decrypt even blackberry crypto algorithm

i like your post. I am into mobile repair at the moment maybe i can start with the VB, probably it will help in my field at the moment. Can you code unlocking software for mobile phones? What are the things i will be needing to get started. I do have a Laptop and PC and Internet connection. What is next in my quest to be a Programmer starting with VB.

Hi, I'm here to tell you tat you already have all it takes to become a programmer-namely zeal.

Let me put it into perspective:

When I started learning programming, I had no computer of my own. Only one family I knew had a computer and I had to travel almost 50 kilometers to get there. I had no generator,and neither did they. Power was non-existent.

I had no internet access. I had no means of communicating with the world overseas, not even a telephone. What I had, were books, mostly gotten from people who didnt care about them, and a pen with which to write down my programs so I could type them in and test them whenever I got access to a computer.

Obviously, times have changed now and you definitely have better access to technology than I did then. Afterall, you posted on Nairaland. What this means is that all you need now is for the desire to be genuine, and you WILL excel.

Programming is not like graphic design and so forth where you need 1 million dollar equipment and powerful software to be effective. Programming is universal to all computing machines, and it is what creates the powerful software so of course NO SOFTWARE IS NECCESARY except maybe notepad.


IN SHORT:

* Get zeal
* Get books (or reading material, start with wikipedia, since you have time/internet to spend on nairaland)
* Get pen and paper

And start writing your code.

Whenever you have a chance to use a computer, you need to following:

* ANY computer, even the oldest, slowest, most useless 386 is good enough. In fact, for a programmer, the slower the better. Fast PCs are not for learning to code.

* On that computer, you need only 2 things: A text editor (notepad already exists,and you can use notepad++ if you have internet) and a compiler (every language has a free compiler you can download. Wikipedia will give you links to free compilers for any language and instructions on how to use them)


Let me warn you of something: If you are afraid of the command line or dont want to go through the 'hassle' of configuring something with notepad files and command line instructions, then I'm sorry but you are not the kind of programmer we want in Nigeria.

There are too many PHP cut-and-paste monkeys in Nigeria masquerading as 'programmers'. I met many TRUE PHP gurus at the recent garage48.org competition and I hope you want to become one of them, or perhaps learn another language like C-sharp or Java

Good luck! Call me when you make your first million ;-)

i do love ya post.

Dual Core:
In all you do, always remember there are just two types of programmers: the 1s and the 0s. Be that 1!

Oga i be day expect ya comment. How biz na. Can someone please list the different types of programming language and their application. Eg C++ for system. not 2 sure oo cuz  i dont know anything about programming but what to study computer science.

pheesayor:
As a computer science student, I'd always wanted to be a versatile programmer but the only languages we were only taught were VB (100l), Cobol, fortran(200l), C++ and Assembly language (300l). Out of them all, I knew only VB and C++ and thats because there was someone taking us tuorials so all we did was know it- pass- and forget it. The lecturers were something else.
Now I need to code my final year project in C# and sql and I bet you I don't know how to go about it    .
School is LASU AT FESTAC

[quote author=Kay-baba link=topic=577828.msg8278716#msg8278716 date=1304843011]@dragnet, how much will it cost me to repair or change the flex of my n85
cos now i want to re install the firmware of my phone may be it will stop resatarting[/quote]Your case is 70-30 hardware or software. most of the time its software but it may also be hardware. Backup your files to the memory card so that you wont lose your data. i suggest you flash it first, cuz flashing may entail little risk and if that is the cause it will be rectified. but if it is software and you do hardware on the process of troubleshooting the engineer may have tamper with what is not on the fone, making software not work even after flashing it. Hope u get d drift.

iffy43k:
ok, the whole right side of the phone is not responding to touch, when you touch the right side, it is the left side that will respond,this make numbers like 3,6,9 unusable.also, this has made the phone unable to compose sms or even type anything on it. this side sometimes work normally once or twice in a month.
