I Want To Learn This by Millytipzy: 4:47pm On May 06, 2021
Good afternoon house

Life has been so hard, no job, half education, no skill.

Am just 26years old, and am ain't getting any younger. Though when I was younger, I was able to learn graphics and website design. Though I mastered the graphics, but due to payment default I wasn't able to learn the website design, though I gained little knowledge about html and css which am sure I don't know again unless I learn again.

Now, I really wanna learn programming but I know less about it.

My questions are:
How many months is it gonna take me to master it, trust me am a very fast learner.
Secondly, How lucrative is it? Can it save me from this present penury if I eventually master it.
And finally, I don't have the funds to learn, but I feel someone can help me here(train me).

I will gladly open a thread for a follow up so Yall can know my progress while it.

Pls gurus, I need your submissions and help.

Pls mods help me move this to Frontpage
Lalasticlala pls help my life

Go to youtube and search for the language you want to learn and learn it ... I learnt c# for game design purposes I have been on it for about 1year and a half it's Abit cumbersome becasues there are many things to learn with game design but let me give you one programmer secret,

Programmers are the greatest googlers they learn the syntax and then when they need a function to be integrated they google it making it easier to get the job done. Go to youtube and search for girrafe academy and binge watch the hell out of which ever language you want to learn . And practice along ... In no time you will be having an evening chat with your computer like you do with your friends .

Op if you are very serious you can get employable in six months. You can't master programming ever so get that one out of your mind. The fastest way to earning money is to master a platform immediately after you are done learning languages. Platforms like WordPress, Shopify, Magento, servicenow, salesforce et al. If you remain in the normal web development it's not going to be easy at all and even if you get a job. The pay is crap at least with regards to Nigeria.

By normal web development I mean just normal frontend or backend web development. Frontend with things like react alone or backend with things like node or laravel. Those things aren't easy for newbies to enter. There's really few people out there building from scratch than people building with platforms

A newbie can still get a good job with only PHP/laravel sef. One should just be good at any stack he chooses. That's what sells

That's one thing tho.

About Laravel, it's funny but Laravel developers are actually scare especially in Nigeria. Take this section for example, how many Laravel developers are here? Even on twitter, it's all Javascript and python.

I see Laravel as a platform in itself. They have an official job site lara-jobs that is more active than WordPress official job site. The documentation is one of the best around.

If anyone wants to learn Laravel, they should go ahead. cheesy It has a steep learning curve especially for absolute beginners though.

There's nothing wrong with YouTube courses. There are some YouTube courses better than the one on udemy and co.

If you have money, order away but if you don't use the YouTube alternative. Last time I checked, most of these courses were curated from open source projects.

Which of these platforms is the best right now or the easiest to get started with?
And besides what's the roadmap like.

WordPress or Shopify are the easiest. I advice Shopify because it's really hot right now with agencies abroad and not a lot of Devs. As for things like Magento, Magento is very complex, has a very long learning curve and you need to get certified in Magento to even have a shot at jobs. With Shopify, you can get a job provided you have a good portfolio of projects to show in Shopify. WordPress too the same thing.

How long it takes depends on you honestly to be a Shopify Dev you need HTML, CSS, JavaScript, react and Ruby. Then you can then learn liquid which is Shopifys version of Ruby. For themes, Shopify themes are easy. The apps are kinda hard it's full stack knowledge and then you need graphql. It's best to start as a theme developer then move over to Shopify apps.
