True. It's not an easy path.
The day I started with JS it was as if my brain was being turned upside down, infact I didn't pickup the laptop for 2 weeks. Lol

But working on little projects makes me understand the fundamentals better. I realized projects challenge and improve your coding skill.
One really have to be determined.


Isn't Kotlin and JS similar?
And is it necessary to understand algorithm and data structure after learning the basics in any language?

No, they are not similar. Data structures and algorithms will help a developer to write readable, efficient, clean, lesser and concise code. It will be difficult for your website or Application to get crash. It makes you understand more about the language. It will make your code nicer. Company requires a developer to understand data structures and algorithms and they take it seriously. Knowing it will make a person to develop a scalable website or application with greater functionalities.

Absolutely brilliant!! Everything they said here is correct. 3D industry is a multi billion dollar industry that has not yet fully tap in Nigeria why because many people or entertainment companies don't know the importance of these software application or let me say lacking of 3D firms or 3D gaming centres and 3D studios in Nigeria. Go to www.artstudio.com you will see how 3D animation companies, firms
entertainment industries and gaming industry badly need people who know how to use 3D animation software application to develop characters and environment and bring them to live.
I encourage Nigerian youths to look into this untap industry. Although, it very expensive compare to programming.

@ Sheriman

That's right, logical thinking skill.


I'm a newbie (aiming to be a frontend dev)
Just starting out with JS

Good to hear that. Just be pushing it back and forth. To be good at Programming is not easy, it requires serious work and patience.
I have finished with the Kotlin basics now learning data structures and algorithms.

Hey man I understand where you are coming from, but you are going to have to do better than just using that simple argument because the choice you'll get could be any of these two (Tinubu or Osibanjo) VS say Atiku.

Until the "good guys" roll up their sleeves and trousers to get their hands dirty and feet wet by infiltrating both APC and PDP..... You'll have to choose from what's presented to you. So pick your poison.

Can't we have another person? Why is always all these people?? They will not do anything than to loot more of Nigeria treasury. Why always these people?? Ooh God And bros do you know that you're very wicked?? You say I should pick my poison??

tevinsolt:
I wasn't done putting down my thoughts....here's what I think.

I think Tinubu or Osibanjo will make good presidents for different reasons.
Nigeria is desperately in need of a compassionate leader, who will set a new path for Nigeria's democracy and a new and dignified meaning to what it means to be a CITIZEN of Nigeria. This is where I think Prof. Yemi Osinbajo's strength lies.

As for Tinubu, his record shows....He has the potential to become a defining figure in Nigeria's journey to real civilization/development. He's savvy and knows how to play the long game. There's a high chance that he'll leave strong institutions in place for others to build upon.

Na so una talk in 2015 when we were all grooming Buhari. This is 2021 again we are grooming another Pro Max Buhari for president.

Enesth:
Even tho I'm still in the beginner's phase, it has changed how I approach things.
It teaches me how to think,
Breaking complex stuffs down.


Also does a programmer/developer ever leaves the beginner's phase? It seems there's always something new to learn every time.

In my own view, programming is a way of thinking,
I think it's really a skill everybody should have.

What do you guys think and how has it changed you too?

Well said. Logical thinking when writing those codes putting them together to produce meaningful output is one thing that baffles me a lot. The way you reason deeply and think about some tools and framework to learn everyday is another thing entirely. Programming is another way of life!! Anyway, what programming language did you write?? I write in Kotlin for Android development. I would also like to meet you. I like always appreciate girls in tech.

tevinsolt:
I think Tinubu or Osibanjo will make good presidents for different reasons. Nigeria is desperately in need of a compassionate leader, who will set a new path for what being a Nigerian should feel like. A leader who sees everyone

So drug peddler is compassionate?? How is Tinubu compassionate?? Please let me know.

Where are the Igbos Presidential aspirants I don't want to hear we are marginalized in 2025 oooo!!

Can Intel run Photoshop CS6?

I don't think so but you can try it out. With the update here and there Photoshop will also require graphics card. Intel graphics card is too poor for any graphics related work. Reason why many people are abandoning Intel graphics card for NVIDIA Graphics Card or AMD Radeon Graphics Card especially if you want to use a software Application

One baba @60 in my adugbo has plated his vehicle ( lexus) number as Tinubu for president 2023. He is already dying for Tinubu. I just dey laugh . Because they have started giving them little change they are already mad. Nigerians we never have sense till end of the world. Therefore, our oppressors will keep oppressing us

UGM or IPOB no disturb them?? I think they ordered sit at home

noble2faith:
It is Intel. Which version can run on Intel?

Intel graphics card are too weak to run any 3D software. That is why you need a laptop with dedicated graphics card either NVIDIA Graphics Card or AMD Radeon Graphics Card because using of 3D animation software is graphics oriented. An area where you don't need to have Graphics Card is if you're programming.

noble2faith:
HP EliteBook 8460p Core i5, 8GB RAM

Nvidia graphics card nko?? If it is Intel it wouldn't run oooo

noble2faith:
I downloaded Blender 2.93 version from blender website. After installation, I launched the application but it only showed a black window with something like cmd .

What's the solution?

What is your laptop specifications??
Blender official website recommended at least 8GIG RAM but 16GIG RAM or more recommended
At least 4GIG RAM of Nvidia graphics card
At least 256GIG SSD. If your laptop specs are lower than these you may have problem running blender

This is the kind of lady we want in digital technology atmosphere

837 inmates awaiting trial in oyo prison alone. At times, u need to thank your saviour for his protection. U lament not having enough money to buy this or that but fail to realise the freedom of movement and peace of mind. Oluwa mo dupe o. Continue to protect we Ur children o. Prison in this zoological garden called Nigeria. Mo taka oshi danu.

in fact, living freely in Nigeria self is a prison on it own

Na so una go do 3D,4D drawing ego fine for eye. Make yeye bello finish the road now make una go check am, na another Tory entire u go dey see physically. Just forget anything that concerns bello, the president, Lai nah the same motor carry them.

As if you know wheytin I won say. Nigeria construction always look good in 3D but in reality the construction go look gibberish and not durable.

Only one man doing a job like this perfectly will take months. You get?

I know but if a person knows what is doing, understanding the tools and framework to use even if it takes a year you wouldn't know. Application that worth $10,000.00 or more. It will boost your morale

LikeAking:
Too big.

what if a client or company higher you to develop this kind of App with huge pay?? Will you ignore it? You just have to braze up your skills. Programming is a relentless career.

My 11yr old Son loves coding-die.
He has mastered Phyton, moved on to Java Scripts, C# and Programming in 3D , all self taught.
Now he is pressurising me to buy him a 3D Printer and a high Spec Laptop that costs almost $7,000.
Boy does not know that Kontiri is still hard and Pandemic is not yet gone.
Na posting l just dey post the guy since January but God-willing, if l can, l will surprise him on his 12th Birthday with both.

The crazy dude is always talking about how he will be richer than Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos (My fear is that he does not become one of those crazy nerds or have brain problem, he talks too much about things l have not even heard of! injecting people with nanobots to unleash their memory power, something like' Metheskellar' Machine How he wants to harness electric field power around Mars and he would inject me with some thing and l would live for a thousand years! I told him l dont want to live more than hundred, he can keep his invention bla bla bla ).

Sometimes, l fear he is going bunkers (How can an 11yr old be sleeping by 2am and sometimes by 6am he is awake because he has to dress for school (JSS1), but Thank God, l have other children who are more "normal" Children.
I do block his internet and seize his electronics (phone and Laptops) at times, to force him to rest, before he falls sick and die on me.

Do any adult and experienced Developer and programmer here go through this kind of phase or should l be very worried about his mental state?
He hates playing with his age mates but would rather want to involve in adult discussions or hang-out with them and most time, na to lecture them or some scientific, futuristic thing on is mind.

I like your boy. You have a great child he has a superb dream and he is working towards it. One thing that I guess that could slow him down is the country we are in. Support his dream. I would love to meet your boy, I like to meet people like him.

TheManOfTheYear:
I'm working on projects for my portfolio.
Could you suggest examples of projects I can build please

You can developed an entertainment Application where users will be able to upload variety of music genres, download music, delete music in their download list, able to play and listen to music in the Application. Users will be able to comment, reply comment, edit comment, share the music to social media, create a like button for the music, dark mode in the App, users can be able to use emojis if possible. Users must have a profile. Users must registered before downloading any music from the App. Create a beautiful user interface for the App

Habeyy:
You are right bro

But do they complain they aren't making sales

How do they want to make sale since they are many. Everywhere is POS. Nigerians always focus on one direction which also replicate what our leaders are doing. They already spoiled the business for those already in it for the past 5 to 4 years ago. It saturated!!!

My profile on Upwork was recently approved, initially I was happy, but after browsing through a series of jobs for two days running, I just couldn't even drop a proposal for any one. They just seemed too advanced and fear nor free me.

Am I the only one on these shoes? I had to go back to drawing board and work on more projects to boost confidence. Cheiii

I'm a react developer by the way.
I also noticed that WordPress seemed to have good amount of jobs. Should I learn WordPress too?

You still need to braze up your skills to meet the expectation. Read and practice all the exercises in react native documentation also build a mini project for yourself.

Only Kanu matter preoccupied their mind what about terrorist bandit and boko haram boys

Reality11:
I'll appreciate if you can recommend a digital skill that can enable me work or earn doing remote work.

Please it shouldn't be very saturated.

It should be something I can learn from watching YouTube videos, buying course on udemy or any source etc.

I recommended you to look at 3D Animation. It is a new oil amongst other digital skills. Though it is very expensive to run because of high end machine and software you need. 3D is broad like other digital skills but you can specialised yourself in a particular field.
3D Animation consist all the following professional field:
Rigging Artist
Modeling Artist
Characters Artist
Environmental Artist
Vehicle Artist
Hard Surface Artist
Concept Artist
Material Designer
Lighting Artist
Dialogue Designer
3D Animators
Motion Graphics
VFX Artist
Lead Designing Artist
Texturing Artist
Rendering Artist
Technical Designing Artist
Software Application you need are :
Zbrush
Autodesk Maya
Unreal Engine
Adobe Photoshop
Blender
Houdini
Cinema 4D
A graphics drawing tablet
A good laptop of at least 8GIG RAM 256GIG SSD with 2GIG RAM Nvidia graphics card.
Visit www.artstation.com for jobs placement either working for them remotely in Nigeria or relocation to Europe or America or Canada.
The ball is in your court. Choose wisely

They have already told you that you're on your own

Nigerians there is no cause for any alarm Buhari Government is on top of the situation as government will pay them 700Million to stop this.

Beebah2000:
No be like say the film go even dey interesting sef.

You're already know your people. Even before the beginning of the video we already know what will happen

It will be only on paper and in the news

Programming takes a lot of time for you to understand,u can't master one language in just a space of 3 or 6 months,i can't pay such amount to learn programming

That guy does not know anything at all. Intending to pay that huge amount to learn software development?? I laugh in Chinese!! Maybe they have promised him he would start developing sophisticated software application within six months. Lie of the century!!

Ronaldo is old!!
Other players are average players
