I get the part, coding programming and the rest others.

What I don't get is "Don't waste your time"
Waste my time on what exactly be Specific

If you don't learn code you can be building websites with page builders but you will remain a novice and you will be a part of the crowd that page builders have assisted to turn the web development industry to akara business e.g. you will be charging like N16,000 to create websites complete with hosting. So by the time you have 100 clients you have only made N1.6m and they have stressed your life out in the process.

The other way round if you want to make a career in web development you have to learn code and learn lots of it. This will make you acquire powers and you will be a part of the professionals in the industry contributing code to frameworks and cms projects and solving problems with custom solutions. This way you can make N1.6m as part payment in one single web project!

The choice is yours but mind you, to learn code is not moi moi. You will hear wiii. But like in every other profession, you can't just acquire knowledge without hearing wiii.

Meanwhile as a Drupal fan I will recommend you try Drupal. It is a most powerful PHP framework in the skin of a CMS so it gives you the best of both worlds. You can use Drupal to build websites without much coding and you can as well use Drupal as a developer and unleash your custom php skills in your custom modules. Drupal is more developer-centric so best you ask Google if it is best for you to learn it.

All the best.

To start learning programming on one's own, what are the necessary documents, informations and equipments one needs to have.

TundeChris:
Well, he you can give me one example and I can give you probably hundreds of companies who pay their developers more... You can’t compare your earning potential with someone who develops.

PS I was a wordpress designer for years too.

Dear OP. I'm in a good position to answer your question. I've built websites and blogs with wordpress and Google blogger.

I've also done projects with Django (a Python web framework).

When I was building websites with WordPress, I had only some knowledge of HTML and CSS. No working knowledge of JavaScript. And till today I have no working knowledge of PHP.

Yes, wordpress is powerful. It gives you the ability to build something powerful within a short period of time. With thousands of themes, there's almost no way you won't find your taste.

You can also use plugins to power the funtionality of your website.

However, as you progress in your career, you'll realize that you need to personalize some experiences for your (client's) website. And the only way you can do this is by getting your hands dirty in code.

For example, your client likes a theme you installed but wants a little tweak which the theme customizer has no option. You'll have to write some custom HTML, CSS or JavaScript to do that. I remember a theme I worked with didn't put bullets in the list of recent posts on the sidebar. I was able to change it because I knew some HTML and CSS.

Also, in the backend. Imagine you want to build a bulk SMS portal. Your service provider will only give you an API. As at the last time I checked there was no way to consume a bulk SMS API in wordpress. So you just have build your own site from scratch.

Also, scalability, security and sustainability. Even if you want to build with WordPress, as soon as your site reaches a certain stage you'll see the need to hire developers for good maintenance.

Finally, you might need bespoke functionality like (geo)data analysis. If you can't code, there's no way you can do it.

In conclusion, WordPress is only good for generic websites like portfolio sites and blogs because you're working with readymade templates.

TundeChris:
Well because you can’t earn 250,000 dollars yearly as a wordpress designer.

Go for React JS btw

I wouldn't work in such. It won't end well. A company that would require such is not a company, but a one man biz or startup dream

Moonlight111:
I am an amateur web designer and programmer for now , and i really don't understand why I should (kind of) waste long hard hours learning web programming languages like Php, Javascript , html and others when there are Content Management Systems all over the internet that would help me get around and make relatively similar websites with less stress and in a much quicker time .
Please i would appreciate if anyone who is more informed than i am , could please explain to me.

There's a friend of mine who doesn't get enough attention from her man in her relationship. she's always complained but he gives her same excuse "he's hustling". This time things went outta hand,after series of complaint he gave her the most savage replies. Telling her " oh,you're an ingrate, you're mad, since its attention you want, you have lots of wooers, you can chat them up when I'm offline to keep you company, go and look for your Mr perfect". It ended that way, the guy asked for a break up. My friend came running to me explaining that she only complained that he's not giving her attention. But yet its break up he wants. I told my girl,this guy doesn't deserve you. or are you blind? There are things a guy can and cannot say to his loved ones even when angry. Forget the guy.

my girl didn't listen. she came to me again saying they've settled. That he's apologised.
how did he apologise? by saying "oya,I'll send you money in the morning" pls isn't that insult? But no,my girl was smiling when she received the msg. she also said, he wants to get her a new phone that's why he's been acting that way. Tried explaining to her that self respect isn't pride. Did I advice my friend wrongly ? she sees me like I hate her rn.

Good day RomanceLanders
I just clocked 20 today

what are those advice you'll render to us in our Early or mid twenties...What are those mistakes or bad decisions that you'll never want us to make so as not to have regrets in life... I'm currently doing my ND2 in a state polytechnic with the thought of dropping at this level, I'm interested in leaning building construction.

You're advice and insults are welcomed

30+ men are not that difficult as some ladies depicts them, it's just that they have tasted and seen what some guys in their 20s are still novice on, caution plus self discipline is what drives them around.

Am getting fed up already, it all started yesterday, Sunday is always our little time because throughout the week days it's always busy, we just get to call eachother or chat. This Sunday when she called she started giving me excuses that she is tired, that she just came back from her parents place and all, dat she is just cooking and she doesn't know when the food will be done and all, I was already getting infuriated, I just had to calm my nerves, i just had to ask her why she did not plan her schedule with our normal time out together, after some hours I went into her dm and I told her how I was disappointed with what happened tonight, her next reply was an emoji, I was like with all these talks all you could reply was an emoji, later she started begging telling me she was sorry and all, as we continued the chat, I just noticed that there was no replies from her anymore, I had to wait for some minutes just to be sure she hadnt slept off, lo and behold it was my call that woke her up, she was already sleeping, I didn't know how I was feeling at that point, you don't sleep off when you are chatting with people , it's wrong, inform them u are tired and the other person will know that u are not available for that moment, I just had to end the chat yesterday night, fast forward to this morning, she started begging that she was sorry about yesterday and all, well one thing I know about this girl is that ,anything she has put her mind not to do she won't even do it. I told her how unhappy I was about what happened and all she was like she is sorry and , well I forgave her and I started playing with her dat why didn't she call me now, the next response was ehn I know the kind of person you are and the way you talk at times, later she placed a call to me and asked me why I was still angry at her, I was like it's normal dat I should get angry, her next reply was, ehnnn, if I know dat this is the way I would be doing dat we would talk another day, and she hanged up the call, I was so surprised, I had to send a voice note to her tell her how I was disappointed, her next reply was an emoji again, I still sent another voice note telling her how her actions looks disrespectful, and her reply was, "okay I will look into my actions", sincerely right now I just feel bad I love this lady yet she messes up with her emotions every now and then coupled with the fact that she is a stubborn lady and doesn't listen to instructions except hers .

Yeah it really important, but a full-stack dev shouldn't do it, that one go become StackOverflow. It's a niche on it's own
