developers in the house what is your view on this

If you love poverty python and then pick it's framework like Django. If you love money PHP. Use your tongue to count your teeth.

Bro.
Everyone who still tell u to learn python.
1. It is easy to learn.
2. It can be used to do all programming jobs like AI, Back-end web and app design, data analysis, software development, app development, machine learning.
Anything is better with python.
Kudos to all Python programmers.

Make of it what you may. Python django is terrible for junior developers. People should learn what will give them money. Nigeria is already the worlds poverty capital. Absolutely nothing wrong with a junior developer making above 500k a month.

But u can't do all, backend development is wide enough, choose one according to ur goals, none is bad. I used to have dis learn it all mentality I have tried that, but nothing they enter aza, now it is time to specialize

Every language is terrible for a junior developer . . .
There is no language that will pay a junior up to 500k in Nigeria, Heck even seniors in Nigeria have not made such
. . except, it's a remote job, and then you convert the proceeds into the local currency,.. the power of geographical arbitrage
But that same logic holds sway for any other language, it doesn't have to be pro-PHP or anti-python

An entry level data scientist in a 'reputable firm' will earn almost that. emphasis on 'reputable'
And what has stopped you so far from being a SAP ABAP developer?
The earlier you wake up and smell the coffee, the better....
Been there, done that and I speak from experience
Please stop pushing people towards future suicidal tendencies by allowing them 'chase pipe dreams'
If it were this easy, almost everybody would be pursuing the billion naira mark, as it were.

Wake up me. I am already making bread with my stack. Thank God I stayed away from the popular shit.
Re: Python Or Php Which One Should I Learn First by cixak95211: 1:06pm On Dec 23, 2020
You are making bread and who is not?
Trust me, I can smell "BS" from miles away. I have too much experience in these waters.
My point is , lets keep it real here and focus on firsthand facts based on the job market.
And not drive some people on a wild goose chase, with stuffs like, i know somebody who does, i have a friend who does, etc

How many live do you have?
PHP is just as similar as python.
Here is how it works

Every good programmer has one Language they speak deeply. Then all other Languages are majorly based on event or conditions.

You really just need one bro. The concept of coding is more broad and deeper than choice of language. If you can pick FORTRAN sef, no problem, only now it has limited modern library and doesn’t support some new concept. If not, nothing is stopping it from being a nice language.

So bro concentrate on coding and programming itself and see language as just a means to it.

“Programming language” are to programming as spoken languages are to communication.

What sort of question is this?
Who would employ a JavaScript dev also who dont add value.

If you haven’t worked as a coder before then you just just dey yarn your opinion and it will be just your opinions.

Employers are looking for skilled coders and not people who know this language and that.

It will take me less than a month to jump into python. But that is because I understand the concept of programming. Language are just means to an end bro

Thanks man . . . The very telltale sign of somebody who is very new to programming . . they bash languages.
I can tell you Javascript is better than PHP at asynchronous I/O or I can say Python excels at data processing than Javascript
but i will never tell you to learn javascript over python or python over PHP or learn Go over C++. That's very "juniorish"
When you've packed enough years in the industry, like you rightly said, languages become tools and your aim is to get the job done
using the 'best" tool that favors the "circumstances" surrounding the job requirements at that particular point in time.
if i needed to process ultra large sets of data, do you feel i should use Excel sheets on my laptop? when I could make life easier using Hadoop?
For this singular reason, does it mean I'll tell you NOT TO LEARN EXCEL?

Re: Python Or Php Which One Should I Learn First by silento(m): 12:01am On Dec 24, 2020
Learn php first I made over 7m from side works this year all are from php

I know Python very well and php

Python was my first language am extremely good with it but when it comes to what gets u money go for php

3years of using php I have made more money than what I have seen in Python for 6years+


This is Nigeria everybody want next Facebook with 50k and php is the only language that can give u opportunity to do that

But if u like to suffer go for Python

This year Na only three Python work I did
And all Na just scripts



Forget all the blah blah u read about php about been old and etc go deep into php and u can make anything with it u just have to learn how to program not just php only

This is how I started my programming career

First I learn c
After c++
Then I learn general basic fundamentals of programming

After that

I was able to switch to Python and I was writing my library in c then calling it in Python

na lack of work push me to php web
I learn HTML CSS JavaScript under one week
Then I learn php for two weeks boom na me dey work dey tire


Programming fundamentals

What is variable
How to declare
How to initialize

Maths and assignment operators
Binary operators

Decision making ( if,else etc)

Loops ( while,do while , for ,for each)

Functions
How to declare one
How to call it
Types of functions a language supports

Files
How to open ,read ,and create

Class if avaible in a language

Data types available in each language

This is all u need to understand and u can be bouncing from one language to another without issues

Exactly. Doesn't matter if it's python or php. Just like English language, if you can't use it properly, it won't make sense.

Bros no need to make any long comments nairalanders hate hearing word. The first money I ever made in programming was 300 USD writing ten lines of php code for a wordpress website. My job now pays me 250 USD a week and I use PHP and Gatsby everyday. Mind you I started learning programming ending of February this year o. It's not even up to a year sef. Me I won't even talk again. People should even learn c++ if they want.

One thing I have come to realise is that when it comes to this programming of a thing what gives you money no one will ever show it to you. Everyone Is busy with the shiny stuff lols. The most important thing in this world is money. Imagine going for your high school or university reunion and your friend asks you what you doing now. You will say you are learning programming they will ask you where you are working you will say open source projects lols. Year in year out you are working on open source projects, making new projects yet no work yet no money lol. People have been programming over 3 years now not a single Kobo but someone who knows only HTML and CSS is making bread as a HTML email developer or selling HTML templates.

Stanliwise has replied you well, i still don't see why you are making baseless analogies. Anybody can earn good money with any language.
I work as a remote dev . . . job a) int'l pay approx 420k
job b) locally approx 300k
job c) is my side business, around 200k

figures quoted above are per month, and all in javascript and it's variants
now there is very big potential for job c) to enter 1m, 2m or even 10m monthly recurring revenue . . because it is what it is, a business

Will i advise you to learn JAVASCRIPT if you want to make money or choose C# if you want to suffer? Hell NO!
Why? because i can replicate all earnings above using another language if i wanted. It's not the language that brings the money, it's what i have upstairs in my head.

If i take away your PHP skills, you're probably dead. Take away my javascript skills and i'll just laugh it off. You see the language as the income-driver, I see the skill instead not the language. That's why you just started writing codes this year, and i've been writing codes since . . cant remember
