So i assume that you are interested in learning how to program - that's why you are here.
After watching this computer programming training video, you won't believe the mistake you would have made. I won't tell you; just watch.
Anyways, i hope i will get a big thank you for pointing you in the right direction. Enjoy it.

A deeper look at selection control structure as promised.
In this video you will learn 3 different variations of selection control structure:
1) single IF statement
2) IF ELSE statement
3) IF ELSEIF ELSE statement

I believe by now I have introduced myself. Let's say if I had first come out here to say I want to teach people here on nairaland how to learn programming the right way for free, a lot of us would have been skeptical.

My name is Ebiti Edide, a software developer with about 17 years experience. Started coding with Visual basic 6.0 back then in the university, moved on to C++, JAVA and now concentrate on PHP because of my interest on the internet. Also a core RDBMS person trained as both Oracle application developer and DBA.

Ok, enough of my CV for now; I have always wanted to do this here on nairaland but had not found time in the past.

Ok so here is the deal. I want us to make this as workable as possible. I am willing to continue posting videos on this beginners series as promised. But I want you guys to respond by way of expression of interest. I noticed the post has about 300 views in about a week and I appreciate you guys for that, but no one has said anything up until now. I want it to be like an interactive classroom.

So my question is: would you guys like me to continue? You need to leave your comment in the comments section just like any other nairaland post. This is the first obligation on your part. If your answer is "yes continue", then I will tell you what next to do to complete "your expression of interest".

Please this series of training is for beginners and should be completed with about 14 videos.

We will be working with PHP, JAVA, MySQL. and will touch concepts like structured programming, object oriented programming, relational database management system etc.

Please the class is free, no need to ask further questions about that. Your own part is just expression of interest.

I am waiting for response.

Am interested but I have no knowledge on programming

But have you played the videos. Are there not easy or simple enough to learn from if interested? I need feed back please.

How to use do while loop in programming? You use do while loop in programming for repetition of code execution in a block of code.
In today’s class, I will show how to use do while loop and for loop construct for repetition.
The do while loop is written does in pseudocode:
DOWHILE condition p is true
Statement(s) to be repeated here
ENDDO
Explanation:
1. The logical condition p is tested on every pass
2. If condition p is found to be true, then control goes into the loop and execute statement(s) once.
3. Control then returns to test condition p
4. If condition p is found to be false, control passes to the next statement after ENDDO; otherwise control goes into the loop again to execute statement(s) written there. This continues until condition p is false.
A statement written inside the do while loop must alter the condition p to become false, otherwise the loop becomes an endless loop.
Three things are necessary to the setting up of a do while loop
1. The initialization of the condition to be tested to an initial value. The condition is initialize just before the condition testing.
2. The testing of the condition is at the beginning of the loop
3. The only way to terminate the loop is to render the do while loop condition to false
You must write a statement within the statement do while loop block which will eventually change the condition so that the condition becomes false. Failure to do so will definitely result in an endless loop.
In our example for today, we consider the problem statement:
Every day a weather station receives 15 temperatures expressed in degrees Fahrenheit. A program is required to accept each Fahrenheit temperature, convert it to Celsius and display the converted temperature to the screen.
In this example as show in the video, you need to know how to use do while loop in programming or for loop to be able to solve the problem.
This is the solution algorithm in pseudocode as shown in the video also:
INITIALIZE temperature_count to zero
DOWHILE temperature_count < 15
GET Temp_Fahrenheit
COMPUTE Temp_Centigrade
DISPLAY Temp_C
ADD 1 to temperature_count
ENDDO
The above pseudocode is coded into PHP and the application is test ran to see how to use do while loop in programming. The program is thereafter implemented using a for loop.
Head to the video to see in detail how to use do while loop in programming.
Enjoy the video.

Desk checking example shown here in this video for algorithm in an excel table should be the beginners pattern for coding any algorithm. Desk checking ought to be the one of the most important step in the development of a program. Its main purpose of desk checking the solution algorithm is to identify logic errors early and to correct them before writing or coding your computer program in your chosen language.
Many awful things can happen to your computer program if it contains bugs. A logic error can lead to countless amount of time debugging a code that should have been desk checked for correctness. A logic error may even lead to security breach in your application and hackers will have a field day stealing data from it.
The desk checking example shown here for algorithm in a table format is a programmers’ priceless jewel, especially for beginners.
Before coding, get yourself some test data and walk through your own code the same way a computer would; walk through each step in the solution algorithm to check that the instructions described in the algorithm will actually do what they are supposed to do.
As you walk through the logic of the algorithm, make sure to keep track of all major variables in a table format. I recommend the use of an excel table as shown in the video.
In summary, a solution algorithm after it has been constructed must be tested for correctness. Most logic errors occur during the development of the algorithm; if not detected, these errors would pass to the program and cause bugs that can lead to chaos in the system developed. It is much easier to detect errors in flowchart diagrams, uml diagrams or in pseudocode that to detect them in a programming language. Listen, it is often too difficult to step back and analyse the program as a whole after logic errors are discovered. As a result, many frustrating hours is then wasted during code testing; something that should have been avoided with some minutes of desk checking algorithms.
I hope that the desk checking example shown here helps someone realize his or her mistakes. If you have further questions to ask regarding desk checking examples, desk checking algorithm, let me know in the comments section.

In this video i show how to install xampp for windows and walk you through the installation and the setting up of the username and password for mysql and the apache root user on your localhost.
After installing xampp, you are now ready to code in PHP, just make sure to this post to know exactly when the next lesson drops.
We are not stopping in how to install xampp for windows but in another 3 separate videos to come, we will show you how to install JDK for JAVA, Netbeans for coding PHP. We will also show you how to configure x-debug in Netbeans for debugging our PHP application.
XAMMP server is free and you should search Google to download it.
We hope that now that you know how to install xampp for windows, you will quickly get your system ready for the classes to come.
Happy coding.

Sir, from the video, I really don't understand the one-dimensional array. Can you do a video on it?

iedide:

But have you played the videos. Are there not easy or simple enough to learn from if interested? I need feed back please.

We will get to array soon

I just stumbled on this trend am really interested I started learning python once bt I got confuse and dropped it

That's my point exactly. Don't start out learning programming with a programming language. Learn programming itself first. What you will notice is that after a while learning the basic concepts we are teaching here, you will no longer be intimidated by not just python; but Infact any other language you might want to learn
