Saka01: Free to ask any question about fuoye admission.... I'm ready to answer

how's d hostel like and the school in general..

toby2: Na wa o, nobody else commented even after two months. Well i started learnin AL wen i stumbled on this. I didn't understand it well yet but i'll keep readin.

are you jst starting programming

olojooluwatobi: Pls wen is d Admission list comin out oooooooooo??

maybe first week of sept.

If u guys can see thing the other way, you will notice Nigeria isn't as bad as u think. Look at wat we have achieve in just 53 years since we left our colonial masters, can u tell me how many African countries have done dat. That's why i sometimes don't argue with Ghanians and sme african countries wen they say they are better because i knw that what we have acheived @ this time even if we fail to exist as a country 4 d next 20 years i knw a lot of African countries won't meet up wit us..
What i knw for sure is dat amidst the corruption, lack of electricity,bad roads my country isn't the worst on this planet.
I remember one of the first word i learned wen growing up"Nigeria go better, i still strongly believe in that.
Even amidst this challanges we 're still developing at a fast rate. Why do you think china always make long term investment in Nigeria even though US and europe keep saying we are a unstable nation? Go figure that out...even the Us and canada are beginning see things from different angle just like d chinese

Mine was when my little cousin told his brother that he keep his money with me so as to help him save it, the brother immediately scream" So you keep your money with Uncle Josh, that's like you asking a dog to keep a bone for you

Lawalemi: See what Sanya caused

who be SANYA again?

This is the problem africa is still having, even if we first the europeans to produce cars and planes or we adopted and made advanced tech. From them during the precolonial era how has it helped us in this present time? THINK ABOUT THE PRESENT AND FURURE NOT THE PAST.. It's funny how we blame the europeans for halting development in Africa during the precolonial era

Just lock both of you in a room and threating him that you have EBOLA and unless he writes u a check he is not leaving.

I bin tink say e wan go south africa...upon all d shakara

CAMNEWTON4PRES: I guess Cameroon and France also staged the chibok kidnapping ?
Humm

You didn't tell yourself that maybe the BH were attracted by the convoy of luxury cars in a poor area and that they didn't even know the identity of who they were attacking?

And the money was given in what currency?

16 people die when resucing only 2 people, do you know hw many french,british and isreali contractors have been rescued by our forces without any casualty.

You guys are very funny for saying cameroonian army is more competent than their Nigerian counterpart. Tell me how many times you have heard news saying more than 4 Nigerian soldiers died in a gunbattle with boko haram, but 16 cameroonain soldiers died just to rescue a PM wife.
Can you compare the resuce mission of over 200 girls with that of only 2 people? I am very sure my cameroonian brothers will be feeling like they have won a lottery nw..

anago9010: good riddance to mad nonsense, so peeps still watch that crap called nollywood. abeg I get loads of series to catch up with, CNN and all Jazeera no go strike neither did Sony max or discovery world don't close shop.

so na 4 CNN and aljazeera u dey watch your own movie series

I can't c d lady head clearly..or did they used the head of a parrot for the lady

davidsmith8900: Personally I think that NairaLand is way bigger than Facebook + Topix. Or how do u feel? NairaLand = CraigsList + Google + Facebook + Twitter. By now, NairaLand should be a billion dollar startup. I just feel as if certain things need to be implemented in the startup as well as the management needs to be more competitive.

Hope you knw wat a BILLION DOLLER is.....or you meant a billion naira..
Also explain 2 me how NairaLand= google + Facebook+ twitter+ craiglist

tunnyl: Dude he meant, a forum site just like nairaland.

ok bro

It's funny how people compare nairaland with facebook...it's just like you comparing warriorsforum with linkedin.
You can't compare nairaland and facebook, instead compare it with a site like Topix

JideTheBlogger: I can't see where he said so....

The tittle of dis thread

Lol!!! Who told you Nairaland is a wordpress site?

Isn't HIV better than this one..

GoodBoi1: Reconsidering your post again, you should start with assembly, @asalimpo is right, but materials out there might assume you already know how to program

they are alot of materials for beginners and courses at sites like vtc,infiniteskills and udacity.

asalimpo: I beg to differ. Ppl who strt with d easier route ar often too pampered and spoiled to go for d harder option. So i'll say go for assembly. Master it till it becomes natural,then u may try c. Then u'll know y c does thngs d way it does, and how to bypass it if you dnt like somof its methods.

thanks for your contribution

dhtml: You are correct bro.



Nay, i can program in almost all those languages, but believe me, i shall never add them to my portfolio 'cause it will only do more harm than good.


Those things are only taught in our outdated school curriculum, in the new world programming, you should be speaking python, C#, Java and the other OOP languages.
Programming should start off with new generation languages like java or C (not qbasic, fortran and all those nonsense and concobility).

And yet even newer languages, ever heard of coffeescript, node.js for example? Now, I cannot remember the last time i saw an advert saying: Qbasic programmer wanted, apply within.

Dont get me wrong people, I am not trying to diss anyone really, I am just saying that let us talk of programming languages that can keep a roof over your head.

Companies pay much for basic, fortran and assembly programmers because nobody is willing to learn those language again...

GoodBoi1: Well I've done some hardware programming using 8051 assembly in school, it was for a short duration and the concepts learnt in C helped me to understand the lessons. Programming with assembly is working directly with the memory, so if you understand the concept of arrays, pointers, memory allocation in C language you will know "whys" in assembly. Using C for hardware programming is better because of the abstraction, for instance a delay function for 8051 assembly in C is just one line of code but in assembly you'll do the calculation and memory allocation yourself, more lines of code . Assembly is better used when performance is required. I'll advise that before you learn any assembly version , first learn ANSI C (pure c language)

thanks

Javanian: why?

dhtml answer?

Bluemagnificient and gudbio1 thanks for ur contribution...
@gudbio1..i have seen lots of comment online frm programmers wishing they have learnt assembly before C, so of them say it's difficult because they get used to C syntax with statement like 'if' , 'else', etc. What's ur take on dis?

beewye: thank God den don start the match,make i enjoy am wella,i think brazil will this game

Wetin u smoke?

beewye: brazil must win ooooooooooo cos i don bet on u oooooo

shey u jst wake up frm sleep ne?

Which of the language is good for a complete beginner who hasn't programmed before but willing to learn programming from ground up. I know the pros and cons. Of assembly like it been difficult and all that, and i also know the pros and cons of C. But which language will you recommend for someone who is willing to sacrifice the time and money to learn programming. I plan on learning the basis of computer, learning everything possible and interact closely with the system. I even plan on making an OS using linux kernel from the scratch in the near future.
I do not plan to learn programming just to start creating software in the next six months or 1 year but plan on learning stuff and everything possible for at least the next 4 or 5 years(i know programming is a continous process, you never stop learning).

Assembly, but dat depends on what u want 2 do
