Hello there, my fellow programmers and aspiring , now let me ask you,

Why did you choose to become a programmer??


For me, i picked interest after watching the TV series Kyle XY and I've enjoyed the journey so far...

I caught my interest in programming after watching a TV show named Game shakers, I was inspired by the way games were made and apps and websites, and I then joined the world of programming

1. Visit learnpython dot org and start with the basics--- start with HTML, CSS & bootstrap then move to Python and Ruby. You can also checkout freecodecamp dot org.

2. Use Youtube tutorials for visuals; Search for "learn python/HTML/CSS full course for beginners" any of the languages you want to learn...You can also check out & subscribe to Freecodecamp youtube channel

3. Sign up on meetup dot com...And select your city of residence. You will join over 5,000 Nigerians who are learning how to code with different bootcamps and learning events organised throughout the year.

4. Immerse yourself in this daily for 8 months...Then apply for Andela's learner or volunteer programs next year April/May

5. If you don't get the opportunity to join Andela, there will be other doors that will open for you (One of the pros of been a programmer)

6. Give yourself this time next year, you will be a self taught programming guru (You need atleast 11 months of intense self learning to be ready to take on very tasking jobs)

7. You will be spoilt for choice of jobs, no matter how little for a start (freelance, remote, contract or salary)...That's a guarantee

Wow lots of aspirer programmers and experience ones... I "hello world" you all.

Following the trend from the start till now, have been reading some comments on *YouTube* video as a form of learning for beginners. Nope, this is not right. Don't learn from YouTube, you will hardly see the mistake, which is part of the code learning, sometimes called BUGS.

As a beginner in programming, learn by theory. I repeat it, learn by theory. Read that book until you fall and rise from that mistake, and later you'll understand the "why's" and "how's" of the code.

To all my boss here, Am a software developer, front end precisely. ******No details*****

You love web right, start from here......

1. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/ (start from HTML, CSS , JavaScript...... At this point you can choose your part yourself)

2. **Google search w3school site( cool for everyone and there explanations are superb)

3. Open a github account and Try to understand how github work for a start. Not hard at all but leave it aside if you don't get it easily. That will be later.

4. Get yourself a codepen account. (If you don't know what to do with, leave it aside, later on you will).

5. Get yourself a LinkedIn account if you can. Start building your portfolio from the start. Don't leave it aside. Get use to the network. It's not a social network like fb, instag, its a professional platform.

6. After few training, register with codewar.... Learn by coding. You must code. Yes you must for a better understanding.

7. Freecodecamp is nice. Check it. It may work for you.

Yap... I will recommend these books...
1. Jon duckett HTML and CSS
2. Jon duckett JavaScript and jquery.
3. Eloquent JavaScript (new edition)

Pls afford a premium lesson, either online or offline. There's a greater merit in having a strong tutor.

Also join platform and community that talk about what you do. Either on fb or elsewhere. Try to get to those better than you.

You can find some free books on pdfdrive site (I wish to have such an online library too)

What else friends... Pls feel free to work with templates. Download lots of free templates and check there codes. With that you will learn more.

This should be the first, I don't why I place it here... Algorithm, data structure (some said it's a compt. Science school package. Whatever for non compt. Scie., get books online and understand the little you can at least for a start).

To end the whole talk... Once you embark on this journey, you won't stop learning ooooo. Maybe until you have something to rest on (not deaths but rich enjoyment i.e money$$$). Don't worry, there's too much money in the industry....

If you can trust your ability apply for Andela code competition or internship.

Also apply for site like codewar monthly competition.

Again, I greet all my Seniors here.

Rich dad with no common sense.
That you're not making money does not imply others don't.
Create a product that can solve real life problems and watch the returns
