If Nigeria is a really a sane country that takes all level of education serious there is a specific level of education recommended for that age

How can we read a better news

definitelyCYRIL:
thanks. Your comment is really funny.. it's not my fault. I am going to uni this year to learn computer science and I am looking for a good laptop to buy and I came across this on on jumia (lenovo ideapad 3i gaming laptop) and I don't want to buy rubbish so I decided to ask. But thanks any way.

Oh really Many people say that on Nairaland even offline. Thank you!! That laptop is good for programming and for creating 3D movies with any 3D softwares you may want to use

Are you normal please answer me? If I see this Laptop I will be happy!! This will run Emulator in Android Studio like a Dangote cement truck carrying 1200 bags of cement without knowing anything.
If you don't need it please give me abeg.
That laptop is good enough for any programing task you want to do.

After having a good Laptop of 8 GB RAM above, some extra cash for data and food your journey to learning programming language has just getting started
Well, for me I think it is due to some financial constraint and time to sacrifice in the cause of learning it even learning programming on your own is huge because you have to sacrifice your time learning it which may hindered your normal work if you're already working. Learning programming involve a lot of time, dedication and hard work before you can become an expert in it.
You watch tutorials you read tutorial PDFs on different coding topics you spend money on data, sitting for hours writing codes not to talk when you run into bugs or issues sometimes you're tired and got frustrated and wanted to abandoned learning coding. All these things could take you 6 months or a year or more before you can begin fully understand how coding works.
Learning any programing language is not for the lazy guys or those who are in a hurry to know things in a rapid short period of time. You have to always practice practice practice practice practice practice and practice before you can become a good programmer.
There are still some free learning materials on some programming languages though not all. I think my own advice is to go for any language that has big community of users this will make it easier to get free learning materials online.
For example developer.andriod.com is a bootcamp for beginners who wants to learn Kotlin. Kotlin is fully supported by Google. Even Jetbrains also provided their own free learning materials for beginners who wants to learn Kotlin. There are many free learning materials online for learning Kotlin Basics as a beginner. There are many websites you can visit to learn Kotlin for free.. videos tutorial are on YouTube to download as well. You don't have to really spend so much on buying all these expensive courses. If someone know what he is doing you can be fine with all the free learning materials depending on which programming language you are learning because not all languages have free learning materials even free online tutorials.

That eastern front (russia vs germany) was the bloodiest.... if you survive that front as a soldeir either german or russian you don’t know what God has done for you ... both sides fought with demonic fury ... and fierce hatred for each other...

The whole Poland suffered the most from Germany like kilode gan self while Belfast in Belgium was used as a battleground for American/Russian Soldiers against the Germans but fortunately, if you're able to get to all these World War II war turn cities today there is no African city that can compete or compare with them interms of everything and anything

Honestly I still do not understand,I have Etherium and I just invested in bnb on roqqu,I'm confused

Nothing will do your money in there only that you will not be allow to withdraw or fund it if you wish

People like Patricia go cry this year o.

It was high time the government ban crypto exchanges. It is one of the things killing our useless naira. People would rather store their funds in bitcoin and co. than to store it in naira.

When cripto never rampant like this when did your naira have value?

Climax2019:
This post is just for survey purposes:-

We're lunching our online/e-learning platform soon to help people learn certain courses for free or very cheap since our unlearned Nigerian teens and youth are growing (based on survey).

Please we will appreciate if you give us an advice on what COURSE do people intend to enroll on?


Note:- if you can publish a course you're good at for free to help kindly drop your WhatsApp number so we talk better.

Waiting for your advice:-

You can create a course teaching some programming languages or teaching how to use 3D software to make movies but you will also need a YouTube channel for these things

Rubbish!!!

North is cursed. So some Northern leaders could be sponsoring and praising all these bastards and ragged tattered demons to kill people and destroy properties, causing insecurity challenge in the country.
While there own children are schooling in European Universities and America

leave that mumu Oni. They will dethrone him and install Emir in Ile-Ife. Afonja did more than that.

Well, na Naija e fit happen

Grace001:
Useless country . Bandit leader sat confidently with his assault rifle without license

And yet the nigeria useless good for nothing Government want others to be law abiding and fold arms while this bastard kill everyone


If you still have hope in this useless failed irredeemable cursed country you’re a fool

You dey vex ooo

thebosstrevor1:
I have heard this your stories many times.

How you guys are trained to create jobs and other bla bla you guys keep telling yourself to boost your ego.

How many CU graduates have created something meaningful to the Nigerian society.

Continue deceiving yourself.

Imagine graduating from a glorify secondary school where you are told to kneel down, stop from using a phone, punished for not going to church.

How will you be able to grow mentally.

Does he even attended a private University?

Shut up!!

So I'm not actually proud of what I'm doing at the moment but I just have to survive. Why I'm not posting this with my main account.

I self-learn, from Java to Kotlin and now focused on Android Mobile Dev. One thing I've learned from the Tech world is find a problem and provide a solution.

It's actually not a legal app, as it's help this "yahoo boys" make fake CashApp payment screenshot. Like I said I'm not proud of it, but I found a problem and thought of tapping in.

Being on it since November. App should be dropping this week

Why can't you create a legal App?

parkervero:
If you run into bugs in kotlin with large code base how do you handle it? Do you have such community with great experience to help you? If you have such community, they are majorly experienced Java devs who migrated to kotlin using the knowledge of Java.

Jetbrain, creator of kotlin don't even joke with Java and Python, yet they have kotlin. Remember Java is evolving. Type inference you have in kotlin is now in Java, many features coming in java 17 that will wow many devs. Talk of boilerplates code, java now have Lombok that handles that. Less experience dev talk ill of java.

See language as a tool.

Well my fellow developer, I wouldn't further go into any argument with you but I want you to know that Kotlin is growing massively and the support is beautifully huge!!

LilSfc:
Alright
Thanks boss.
Am using MacBook Air, 4GB

I hope am good to go Boss

Very good!! Go to YouTube to Download some Kotlin videos tutorial not those of Indians cos you will hardly hear what they are saying.
Within 5 - 6 months you should have understand Kotlin Basics
By the way, you even have MacOS Laptop. All Good!! an edge for you to create App that can run on IOS, MacOS, TVOS and Android phone using Kotlin KMM platform

Nonsense!! Why talking now? why didn't he make it happen when he was in office.. Nigerian leaders will be bringing solution to a problem after leaving office.

Karleb:
I was going to ask him how he deals with Null Pointer Exception.

Don't mind him jooor!!

parkervero:
What if you are to work on legacy code? Twitter, telegram, zoom, signal, Amazon apps etc are still maintaining their android code base in java. I am not against kotlin in fact, it is a language I like but Java still remain my easy to go if I run into bugs.

You got it wrong here bro!!! You said Java is easy to go if you run into bugs while Kotlin has made it easier to reduce running into bugs especially it null safety writing boilerplate lesser code unlike Java that is too verbose which tends to make developer run into bugs no matter his/her experience writing code.
In Kotlin you may write 5 codes of lines to print out while in Java it could be 30 codes of lines of the same thing.
This is what Kotlin has reduced and it shines here.

LilSfc:
Please refer me to the best and beginner friendly resource to learn Kotlin

Go to android.developer.com to jumpstart your Android application development.
They explained and provide all topics and documentations you need to know to become a great Android developer
Kotlin is a language that make Android developers more happier!!
Happy coding!!

LilSfc:
The first tutorial I saw on Kotlin, they wrote it there that I need to know the basics of Java before proceeding.

You don't really need it. You could start learning Kotlin Basics without knowing Java.
If you are serious about learning Kotlin I believe it is easy to understand for a person who is new to programming!

Dust your 4 GB Laptop, download Intelli J idea community edition install the SDK and go to andriod.developer.com to start learning Kotlin Basics.

Kotlin language that make Android IOS and Web Application developer more happier

Springboot:
The OP doesn't know any progmming language, starting with Java will give him a very solid foundation and he can learn any other language with ease, kotlin is just Java made easy but he will be losing alot of programing fundamentals starting with kotlin.

Note:- like you said, if I want to build an android app today, I will use kotlin.

Google is massively supporting Kotlin by providing developers especially beginners so many documentations to jumpstart your Android development.
Kotlin is also a multi platform language that can also be use to build an IOS, MacOS, TVOS application through Kotlin KMM and web Application through Ktor or Desktop Application through TornadoFX.
Recently, I think It's gaining more users and popular than Java
Knowing one language and build for many platforms. That is incredible!!

ReluctantAdult:
The print function is definitely in-built. Kotlin is beautiful though, compared to Java. From type inference to null handling which eliminates the NPE nemesis . Auto handling of getters and setters so you don't write all the boilerplate codes like in Java. Functions are kings here not classes

Also, the syntactic sugar. 5 lines of codes in Java might just be a line or two in Kotlin. So verbosity is greatly reduced. Sweetest of all, it is interoperable with Java. You can actually look under to see the Java bytecodes generated for every Kotlin code. Cool stuff

Thanks buddy for helping me.. Kotlin is the language that makes Android app developers happier..
Happy coding!!
Happy developing with Kotlin!!

ReluctantAdult:
Great resources. Don't dwell too much on the syntax. To develop a computational mind, you have to solve problems. Do as many exercises as possible and learn from them.

I use Java to build apps but now moving over to Kotlin as well since it is the new and preferred language for Android.

Please migrate to Kotlin. A language that makes developers happier
