If you are a total newbie, the best way to learn programming or software development is not to pick a language (Java, PHP, etc) and start trying them out. From the experience of many, that is the route to frustration. This is a better way. Start by learning (i) How to do Requirements Gathering (ii) How to do Analysis and Design. When you learn these well, you can proceed to learn Implementation. Implementation is where you learn to write code. Select one particular language (Java, PHP) to start with. Take it from there. More from me on this subject. Stay tuned!

I had issues with my hard disk. Had to buy a new one. I'm trying to install python on the system now but it's not just working. I get a message saying Windows service pack 1 needs to be installed. I've downloaded several from the net very large files up to 1gb but none of them installed as they were not compatible. One didn't even run sef.

Guys, pls what's the way out?

Is there any package that offers these as a build up to the actually code writing?

Firstly, 1gb is not a big file.
Yeah. Depending on OS that came with your system. If it windows 8, get a new windows 8 disk , #200 at any computer accessory shop. And re install i.e format your system. But if you can't pay around 1500 to engineers to that for you.

If you have important document on your disk, simply load the new windows on the disk I.e do not format the harddisk during the process of re installing the windows8.

Beep me if you're not clear.

It's Windows 7. Is Windows 8 better?

If I get you right, I should just get a new Windows disk and install. I recently changed the hard disk so I don't have important files on it for now.

Funny enough some people know all these


Funny enough, we are actually looking for those that are interested.

And all the calls and mails we get, are actually those willing to learn all these.

Thank you

Had same problem. I downloaded a lower version of python and voila. I don't mind since I am still leaning. That could help

I would say learn C# and then master asp.net core MVC framework and you'll be good to go.

Topics you must be good at

Basics of C# e.g Arrays loops and conditional statements
Object Oriented Programming.
Data structures and algorithms.
Big O (Space and time complexity).

Finally you might want to touch system design.

I advice you to learn c# because I have lived in Canada but now in the United States, Almost all organizations make use of Asp.Net C# these days, there are lots and lots of job openings. Both in the US and Canada. With C# you can build literally anything very easily.

The western world is slowly moving away from PhP and more towards JavaScript.

Consider learning the following technologies to avoid being left behind

Nodejs
Express
Angular and or React
And MongoDB.

You can build out anything with a combination of the following technologies:

Mean = MongoDB + express.js + (angularjs) + nodejs
Mern = MongoDB + express.js + (ReactjS )+ nodejs

Have a great day.

Hello Friends, please I have a question I need to clear, can I develop a normal app like Instagram or Facebook using PYTHON AND DJANGO alone Of course it would not be as complex as the above two, but I just want to make a prototype online application.
Is this possible?
