What Attracted You To Learn how to code? by Obasempiree(m): 5:40pm On Feb 13, 2022 |
Good day guys, as a web developer myself i would say i did not really love coding at all till about 3 years ago. I studied accounting and finance in school but after my Nysc, I volunteered to be part of my friends start up entertainment website as a web administrator on the back end to reply messages from support, approve comments and make modifications. I actually started to develop interest because prior before then i never knew how a website worked from back end, i was just amazed lol and developed interest from there. One year later in 2020 i made a decision to teach myself how to code starting from html, css and then proceeded to JavaScript and php though i only work with JavaScript for now as i was advised to master one programming language before moving to another. It has been fun, challenging and cool since then, i have done a couple of projects for clients also. So guys what really attracted you to coding/ programming? 19 Likes |

I really need to learn this coding and get some certification before I travel abroad. Is it advisible to learn it here and get certified (will it be valued abroad) or should I wait and learn it over there and get certified?. And to think I studied computer science in school 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Chloraseptic:Start learning as fast as possible u can even start today if you have a laptop, it requires commitment and dedication but atleast bit by bit so that even if you want to get recertification abroad it won't be so difficult. The most important thing in coding/programming while learning is building that's what makes you a programmer not even the certification. 6 Likes |

For me it was playstation, someone stole mine and I was informed about emulators , I was in secondary school then, I was curious about it so I started learning C++ and MFC, nothing entered my head but it taught me alot about Programming and since then I have been coding, and during that period Programming wasn't a popular thing, I just wanted to see if I could build a plugin for emulators then it was ePSXe and this was the site then pbernertDOTcom/html/gpu.htm 17 Likes 3 Shares |

For me I discovered its among the few careers were hard work and dedication still pay in the modern world. Secondly your programming level/skill can be easily seen and rated, unlike other fields were every one go dey claim say de sabi, bu in reality na d opposite. Their is no room for argument. Thirdly there is no hiding in this field, if u no sabi you will be exposed,etc. You cant hide behind any body. Its not like other fields were some will go to club, drink and Bleep and still be better than the hard working ones. You you get? Its 100% garbage in garbage out. One of the most honest professions. Recruitment are 100% based on your proven abilities, not like other fields. No serious company go employ who no sabi, even if they do they will easily notice and fire d person In summery i became a programmer because hard work pays here. As a hard worker I believe I a in the right place. 45 Likes 4 Shares |

I was in accounting before and one day a guy sitting next to me at work who was a developer wrote a code in my presence to help me automate a task I was doing which was very laborious and repetitive, this was when I said to myself coding is for me. Though the journey was not easy as a self-taught I had to take a three year degree course overseas and that was how I was able to get a good understanding of coding and now I develop complex ASP.NET / .Net Core and RESTful API applications. Though I learnt Java at uni and my programming lecturer did not like to hear C# and ASP.Net ![]() 17 Likes |

Chloraseptic: Wrong. I'm sure I graduated from a Nigerian University before you did. Studied Computer Science as well. The language used may be old but the underlying concepts are still very relevant Edit(15/02/22): it's like Tech threads don dey hot FP regularly now o. Make i start to behave myself. I got into programming because of game o. "Where in the World Is Carmen" specifically. Wanted to write my own Carmen since my friend whose dad worked in NNPC had a computer and nor let us drink water. Everyday Carmen, Carmen story 9 Likes |
