interestingly, the op didn't deem it for to mention programmers in data analytics, machine learning and Data science world generally.


my programming Journey started on a phone with solo learn with HTML and CSS.

then I dive into data science with simple excel.

then I moved to DAX( advanced excel analytics)

then power BI

then python(pandas and numpy, machine learning)

the goal is AI. still on the ML route.

chukwudinwez:


You made me laugh out loud. I remember those days I cried trying to learn css. About 6 months ago I didn't know anything about anything in CSS. I can tell you right now I'm now a guru and well experienced using CSS. It's simple as far as you learn kinda slowly but steady so you won't forget what you've learnt. Don't be in a haste to finish up.

I went on to learn JavaScript afterwards. I'm currently learning react.js and in few months now, I'll be applying for jobs as a front-end developer.

My portfolio website https://chukwudinweze.netlify.app

Wow,what are the languages you built it with

GoddyOra:

Yeah you can create a repository and push your code there then you can make it live. It comes with a github domain like github.io.your-username/your-repository-name.

Thanks for sharing. I only use Github for DevOps and CI/CD pipeline for deployment to test/QA/live environments. Your info is very good for those still learning but I would recommend that they move their application to a shared hosting or an affordable cloud hosting to showcase their skills to potential employers and recruiters as this is where they will be hosting their business applications.

byrron:


These are my certification pathway as listed below:

1. Currently studying for the CCP exams
2. Solution Architect Associate (next)
3. Devop Associate (next)
4. SysOp Associate (next)

At the completion of the listed 4 above then I will be gunning for the Solution Architect Professional and then round it up with the DB speciality.

These are my goals for 2021 and beyond.

Cool.

Since I'm more networking-inclined, my 2021 goals are graduating and getting my CCNA cert before moving into cloud computing. I'm starting with Azure though.

GoddyOra:
Have you finally decided to settle for computer programming as your career path? Are you new to the whole concept of coding and you're struggling to pick the right programming language to begin with? Which one of Java or JavaScript, Python or C would suffice?
Choosing the perfect language for every newbie programmer is one of the most difficult decision to make due to the numerous options available. There are hundreds of different programming languages with each of them having its personal strengths, weaknesses, complexities and best area of application. In truth, your choice of language will depend heavily on the segment of software development you are keenly interested in. In this article we will look at the various divisions of software development and recommend the best language (/s) suited for each category.


FOR WEB APPLICATIONS DEVELOPMENT :

This involves the creation of application programs that reside on remote servers and are delivered to the user’s device via the Internet. Examples of web applications include: Online forums like qoura.com, dogforum.com; or Ecommerce websites like amazon.com, Ebay.com; or your popular online blogging platforms like TechCrunch, Moz, Huffington Post etc. For better clarity, we are going to divide Web Applications Development into two parts, namely:
1. Front-end development and
2. Back-end development.

Front-end Web development :
Front-end Web development involves the building of the visual elements of a web application that users can see and interact with. In simple terms, a front-end developer is mainly concerned with the appearance of a website like its font size, forms, web page layouts etc. In order to become a well skilled front-end developer, we recommend you learn HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript combination. HTML and CSS are friendly and easy to learn while JavaScript is a popular programming language that is very efficient in every web related applications.

Back-end Web development :
Back-end Web development deals with the skeleton (called the “back-end”) of your web applications. It is more concerned with the functionality of the website. Take for instance a web application like LinkedIn or Facebook, the front-end deals with the different pages layouts and designs while the back-end application deals with things like the search query panel in which a user can search for a unique profile out of millions of registered users’ profiles. In order to become a full stack web developer, you need to be well grounded in both the Front-end and Back-end sects of Web development. Our recommended languages for Back-end Web development include: JavaScript, Python, PHP, and Go.
JavaScript: How will web developers cope without JavaScript? Well, that’s a question for another day. According to Stack Overflow’s 2020 Developer’s Survey: JavaScript is the most popular programming language among developers for the eighth year running! While JavaScript is mostly used in conjunction with HTML and CSS for front-end development, it can still be used solely to build the back-end part of web applications using popular frameworks like Node.js which is compatible with every Operating System. Figuratively speaking, sticking with JavaScript (via Node.js) means you only need to master one programming language for both front-end and back-end web development.

Python: is a multi-purpose programming language that works brilliantly for Back-end web development via some of its popular web frameworks like Django and Flask. With Django (coded in Python) you can quickly develop a web application way quicker compared to other programming platforms. Django comes with a wide range of in-built packages such as admin panel, content administration, site Maps, SQL injections for data management and many more. Your popular media sharing platform – Instagram - and sites like Spotify and Mozilla were created using Django framework.

PHP: is a recursive acronym for Hypertext Preprocessor. Its popularity among Back-end developers is gradually fading as newer languages outsmart PHP in building better functionalities on web applications. Since it is a scripting language, PHP is somewhat similar to HTML making it is relative easier to learn.

Go (also known as Golang): is a newer language as it was only released in 2009. As a low-level language, Go performs almost the same functionality as C and C++ with a simpler and more readable syntax compare to the other two. The lightness of this language makes it perfect for building complex web applications through frameworks such as Gin, Martini or Revel.

VERDICT : For an absolute beginner with zero prior knowledge on programming, we are going to suggest JavaScript for both Front-end and Back-end Web development. It is always advisable to start your learning from the Front-end part of Web development then you gradually work your way to the more difficult sect (Back-end). As you master your craft, you can easily switch to other programming languages based on the kind of project you’re working on.


FOR GAME DEVELOPMENT :

This involves the creation of games whether in 3D or 2D format, video or motion graphics, or for computer/mobile devices. To be a good game developer you have to possess a strong background in mathematics, sciences or engineering field due to their critical applications in high-level game development. A career in this segment, in most cases requires a bachelor’s degree in computer science/engineering or other equivalent fields. The best programming languages for game development are: low-level languages like C++ and C# (incorporated with Unity). High-level language like Python (using PyGame) or Java (in building mobile games for Android devices) can also be used for making quick prototypes of your game and building lighter video games but they both have their limitations in game development especially when it comes to the game graphics and memory management.

VERDICT : For beginner game developers, we recommend coding with C# via Unity for its relative ease of learning compared to C++.


FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS DEVELOPMENT :

The mobile app development sector is a half a trillion dollars industry with room for more growth. If you have settled for a career in building mobile apps for a living then it’s best to follow our guide to picking the perfect beginner’s language for your training. Most of the aforementioned languages for desktop app development are also handy for mobile apps too but our top programming language choices for Mobile Applications Development are: Java, Swift (in conjunction with Objective-C), and Kotlin.

Java: is one of the most popular and used languages in the programming world. It is a flexible and dynamic language that is used in developing Android applications for your mobile phone. As of today, Android has over 70% of the total mobile OS market implying that the future is still very much bright for Java. The best place to start with learning Java is by going through Google’s Android Developer Library which is well-documented and has a comprehensive set of learning materials. Another advantage Java has over other mobile app development languages is its cross-platform app development which means it can also handle Apple’s iOS and Windows apps. Java truly rules the mobile app world!

Swift (in conjunction with Objective-C): Swift is a newer language intended to work with Objective-C to build mobile applications for Apple’s iOS. It’s even quickly becoming an accepted language for general purpose programming. Swift is an open-source language meaning: any app developer using a Linux OS can operate on it to develop iOS applications. In simple terms, let say you have say a Windows Computer but you want to build an app for iPhones. You can install a Linux OS on your PC and start developing iOS mobile applications that would run just perfectly using Swift! This feature has made Swift to be increasingly popular among iOS app developers.

Kotlin: is a programming language introduced by JetBrains, the official designer of the most intelligent Java IDE, named IntelliJ IDEA. Kotlin was designed to work with Java as an open-source language which runs on Java Virtual Machine (JVM). In basic terms, Kotlin is like the simplified version of Java with better readability, more improved syntax and most importantly: it is way easier to learn. If you want to start creating Android apps in a few days time then Kotlin is your best bet. It works perfectly on Android Studio which is the most popular desktop application used for building Android mobile apps.

VERDICT : Java is our go-to language here while you can learn Kotlin along with it as you expand your learning into building actual Android mobile applications. Or you can simply go for Swift if you are only interested in becoming a specialized iOS developer as even Java has its own limitations in iOS app development.


FOR SYSTEMS PROGRAMMING :

Well this is a broad and intricate aspect of software development which is not advisable as the starting point for newbie programmers. System programming involves the development of computer programs that allows the hardwares of a computer to interface with the programmer or the user thereby making the entire computing system to function as a single unit. Such software programs affect the functionality of every other softwares when installed or uninstalled. Thinking of diving into systems programming? Then think big like developing an entirely new operating system (OS) or game engines. In order to be a systems programmer, you have to be well skilled in any low-level language of your choice like C++, Rust or Go.

VERDICT : Personally we recommend Go (also known as Golang) for beginner systems programmers.

Nice one Op .....I just bought a laptop, and have intentions of learning coding basically to make money.... But the thing is I really don't know where to start as I'm not very used to computers

GoddyOra:


There is one for only Python programmers and it contains both pro and beginners.

I don't have any for other languages but I will try to share more articles via my blog on other relevant tech trends.

What aspect of Software development are you interested in?

I would like to join the group please.

Omx

Rgade:

Wow,what are the languages you built it with

Just html, CSS and vanilla JavaScript...

Hadampson:


I would like to join the group please.

Message me whatsapp with the number on my sig

GoddyOra:


Message me whatsapp with the number on my sig

Okay sir

ManOfCompetence:

Nice one Op .....I just bought a laptop, and have intentions of learning coding basically to make money.... But the thing is I really don't know where to start as I'm not very used to computers

As long as you can operate a smart phone then you operating a laptop will definitely come easy. Read the full article in the blog post and start from YouTUbe

abcond:
Can i learn how to create a mobile app without coding?

Yes you can, using MIT App inventor, Appybuilder and the likes. I do use them to create good functioning Android applications

I love this

ThePlainTruth:


Thanks for sharing. I only use Github for DevOps and CI/CD pipeline for deployment to test/QA/live environments. Your info is very good for those still learning but I would recommend that they move their application to a shared hosting or an affordable cloud hosting to showcase their skills to potential employers and recruiters as this is where they will be hosting their business applications.

I use netlify. Free hosting and you can connect it wit git hub. As soon as I deploy on git hub, it's automatically being hosted in netlify

GoddyOra:


I ain't well grounded in cyber Security and ethical hacking sectors but for AI I will always recommend Python as a start.

Start from the "Mosh Hamedani python tutorial video" mentioned in the full article. Just search for it on YouTube, it's about 6hours long and around 600mb in file size (720mp) for download.

Ok, will download the tutorial and go through it...

THANKS.

yinkbell:




I started my pathon journey a month ago. Someone suggested sololearn app, infact that app is awesome, withing weeks, I have learnt a great deal of in-built functions.
You can also download mosh hamedani's 6 hours python video on YouTube. If you can blend solo app with that man's YouTube tutorial video, you are good to go bro.

I started using Solo on my android phone but loose interest many months ago....

Will have to go back and probably get it in my system to be using....

Thanks man!!

Kennyking1234:
I am learning python, I made a game with it last year... but my biggest issue is that internet services is too expensive and not very feasible for me.
How can I go about this? Any Advice?

I download all my heavy tutorials at night using Glo night plan of 1Gb for 100 Naira, valid for 5 nights. Multiple subscription is allowed. It helps me a lot. You can try it out.

austinceasar:
Uhmmm. It is well bro
Keep pushing,
Nah that ur beat making skills u for just perfect(lol)...make I pitch my songwriting skills for your tent. E no easy but day still young to quit hardwork and smartwork . stay bless

Thanks bro.
God dey.

MT:


A whole lot - design patterns, SOLID principles, how to deploy apps using modern tools like Azure or AWS etc

LOL, omo, see as you scare me guy. I know there's a lot to learn sha, no be small task

Sirwallace:


not to sound like a motivational speaker;

you will catch a break. never stop learning.

Thanks, man. I go just try.

PETUK:

How many weeks, months or years does it take to learn and how much.
Thank you

No one can tell you how long it would take you to learn a new skill. It depends on your motivation, passion and perseverance. Some of the best things in life are free. There's a 9 hour tutorial on YouTube.

pickatyouu:


Bro motivate yourself abeg.
Was like you ended up wasting a lot of years.

Right now learning kivy with python, its not easy but I know it's worth it.

I will try Android apps dev one more time.

SeriouslySense:
You need more wisdom that's all, there is emotional intelligence you need, you cannot be tired, wat you need is perhaps organization, and perspective, why don't you create meaning. I have leant to organize my thoughts like a database, it helps for people that do a lot, so you are not over whelmed and for the thought of money, just enjoy programming and keep learning, money will come if it will come.

Always rest and sometimes you may need to focus on particular areas, for some time.

When you stretch your area of coding so quickly, you may quickly get bored, and the fatigue will lead to disinterest, Like a stack, build one layer on top of another and let the value of the stack be useful or applied and trust me, you will keep learning and want to know more.

Thanks, bro.

GoddyOra:


Trust me as you build real life websites you will know what to learn onwards. Have you done any active project(/s) yet?

Well, if you mean if I've hosted a site, nope, not yet (I don't even have an idea about this). I'm watching a tutorial by one John Smigna. It's teaches how to apply the beginner javascript concepts, by carrying out some vanila js projects, like how to fix a nav bar, and other stuffs sha.

jikins:


Do you have these projects online? I actually started around November myself. Its really been a fun journey. Message me on WhatsApp if you like lets discuss and maybe collab on certain projects. I feel if all of us beginners come together and work on stuffs together it would be great

Ah, online ke. They are not full projects, just little projects to help me grasp vanilla js. The whatsapp idea isn't bad.

chukwudinwez:

I use netlify. Free hosting and you can connect it wit git hub. As soon as I deploy on git hub, it's automatically being hosted in netlify

Cool. They even have a free package for starters: https://www.netlify.com/pricing this will really help newbies.

Etinosa1234:


Just build new ones... Most of what I've learnt... I've forgotten some... But when building projects u'll get an idea of what to do...

Also ... use Google...

Na wetin dey save me... Otherwise I for don die

Google na real life saver, no be lie . But you must first know wetin you dey find sha before Google fit help

chukwudinwez:

Just html, CSS and vanilla JavaScript...

Nicee..

CSTRR:

I love python. It is cool.

But I am starting from the very basics.
Front end then to back end.
HTML, CSS, BOOTSRAP, JAVASCRIPT, REACTJS, python and then to postgres and other data management areas.

That is the path I want to follow to become a full stack developer.

What does bootstrap do?

I see
