i'm interested in phone programming because i hear tht you can make some money from it but i hav some questions that i cant get answers to.

1) is it hard to learn,do i need maths?

2) can i teach myself nd become good? If so how long will it take (from noob programming knowledge to hosting app on store)?
Or am i better off going to a computer school

3) can i make money from it? By putting apps on the playstore, if so can i earn a full time living on it or is the market already saturated?

4) which is more lucrative,android or webdesigning?

5) if i have to go to school which would you recommend in abuja that is pocket friendly?

6) How do i pay for a developer account from nigeria? Or do i need to hav a usd account with my bank?
7) if i can make money,how do i withdraw the money,do i need a dom account ?

Questions you need to answer first...

1. Do you have an external usb storage device of minimum size of 16gb, a laptop with at least 2 - 3gb of RAM that has a functional battery with back up power and a camera?
2. Do you have data access in the realm of gigabytes and are not afraid to do video streams once in a while?
3. Do you have zero knowledge of programming?
4. Do you think you are ready to start learning 2 programming languages, first thing tomorrow morning?
5. Are you willing to aggresively donate a minimum of 3hrs a day coding?

If the answer to these questions are yes....

Say "Hi android" to me on this number 0 8 0 9 8 4 8 7 3 4 4 and state the exact city you are in.......Then we will take it from there......

I sense that you r talking about skyping. I simply cant do so cuz of money. No money for data on that scale and electricity. I use nepa and there's usually no light during d daytime.
I hav a laptop though with camera.
Thanks for offering to help.

False.....I was talking about Android studio, gradle -for visual programing/testing - and consistent update necessary when a new version of andriod OS is released...

Happy Trails......
