On Becoming A Programmer by iCode2: 10:56pm On Aug 23, 2019
Hi guys, I've been keen on learning Web Development for a while now and I just begun. I'm treading the path of self tutoring which I think is quite interesting. I've started with html. When I'm done with this, I'll move to CSS, then bootstrap, then javascript, PHP and the rest. I also plan to delve into app development later on but let's take it one step at a time.

I think starting this thread will help me tighten my seat belt and I could also make use of one or two words from experienced developers here. Who says one must have physical meeting with a mentor? Offline or online, meeting na meeting. grin

I learnt a few things today. Virtually the whole outline though. I'm yet to get my head around HTML Geolocation, drag/drop, local storage, app cache, Web workers & sse

Screenshots of some things I did today. Will do a lot of practice tomorrow.
Ps: I'm using a phone pending when I get a new battery for my laptop.

I've been occupied with some things offline but I still squeezed out some time to try my hands on one or two things (screenshot below). Tomorrow, I'm going to design layout of a webpage with most html elements.

Any suggestions on good CSS video tutorials/ebook?

Not same with PHP though both are used in server-side

ASP.NET is a web application framework developed and marketed by Microsoft to allow programmers to build dynamic web sites. It allows you to use a full featured programming language such as C# or VB.NET to build web applications easily


The PHP Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) is a programming language that allows web developers to create dynamic content that interacts with databases. PHP is basically used for developing web based software applications.

From experience in Nigerian job market I would recommend C# ASP.NET

Thanks for taking out time to explain. I always thought laravel was more popular in the Nigeria job market.

We offer it remotely using Skype for calls and screen sharing and in some case we have to code with the student we use teamviewer app to access the student laptop to help.
