Do We Really Have Great Web Developers In Nigeria? by sdavirus(op): 3:15pm On May 06, 2016
I've noticed for sometime, that many people that call themselves web developers are simply people that use all these CMS shit, and many don't even know a thing or two about CSS, talkless of more complex stuff.
I feel that maybe we have, but they are few? And they are also to busy working on real projects.

I was wondering if there is really anyone here that is really good with Javascript, PHP (could work with CMS templates, since they go together), ruby and/or python?? (depending on the route)

I have a project that I will want to work on pretty soon, nothing super, but at least, the cats at MiT think it can work, and a couple of good reviews from execs from Europe and the US

If there is anyone, would be nice to hear your voice.... Just maybe we can go to war, someday.

Regards,


Cross



P.S: I'm not a web dev.

simple answer: YES we have great developers in Nigeria.

Hmm, I'm wondering how you'll be able to identify them since you are not a web-developer yourself. Besides since you think a lot of "CMSs are poo", you might not realize that great web-developers are the ones who can conceptualize a CMS and realize it with bunch of scripts - regardless of the project.

what project do you have in mind. Perhaps, I could add my own 2-cents.

Hello HK,
Thanks for your reply.
About CMS, I said that because everyone can get basic sites running, with Joomla, Wordpress, etc.....But when it comes to modifications, they can't do squat. I actually fancy the idea of using a CMS for an MVP, before going all in. (I'm open to suggestions).

I'm not a web dev, but I have a little idea about what and how I think it should be done, I also have 2 web devs, who act as advisers, and maybe you could be the third. lol

Anyway, the project is in line with classifieds. There's just a little twist to it.

I think you are cool.

Regards

Nice, you are welcome.

Perhaps, you could shoot me an intro about the little twist to your classifieds project by email (details in my signature). I could indeed be an adviser. Maybe I can add more than 2-cents from the technical perspective.

Hi,
I've finally been able to view the site. Nice job, but I think it could be better. I've sent you a friend request on facebook though.
