Welcome to C#, you'll discover it's a most amazing programming language as you go on, if you need any help you can contact me or just post your problems here. And remember, stackoverflow is your friend

If you're considering a career to focus in, you'll find this page news very useful. Here's some excerpt:

A statistical analysis by the Potrix Media at team in the past two days revealed that from all the about 21,653 listed jobs, Lagos had the most number of job listings - a whopping 45% of the total listings. The more surprising thing however was the speed at which it was increasing. In just 48 hours, there were 52 new job listings, i.e. 1.083 jobs in every hour!

@goon: Not there yet, just wondering who and who I might be able to meet

Imagine Cup national finals for this year will be happening at PH and I'm wondering if there any programmers here in PH for I'd like to meet'em.

What do you mean by:

these updates are done via any of mobile, web, external api responses.

?

Surprised there're not much SkyRim fans here , my dovak is itching,

Army Lol. They have automatically announced themselves as bandits. Nigeria is not ripe for such activity with her illiteracy. I think they're using an automatic hacking script for their petty escapades.

The only point in this was tradition of NL, nothing more, so let's focus on the real task this year guys (we need world-competitive programmers). It wasn't even a fair competition

Happy New Year y'all

Mobinga:
There are no enforced laws against it in Nigeria. Continue the downloading.

Exactly, I never really thought about it that way. If the Nigerian police starts to jail all these local places where they sell pirated software, it will reduce vastly. I guess the problem is because we are not rich enough to buy these softwares, if Nigeria could focus on developing our ICT sector a bit, not only will we be able to make cheaper softwares which our own citizens can buy, but we will also encourage developers and create more employment for youths.

^^^Now whorrissfunny? If i cannot get nominated because i am not law-abiding, i can at least vote. And i never saw any rule that said you can only vote once anywhere.

Hehe.
_{ps: I have been wanting to ask you, can you develop drupal modules very well? Are you well knowledgeable in drupal performance and scalability? if yes/maybe can you inbox me here or on fb?}

[quote author=*dhtml link=topic=815510.msg9790072#msg9790072 date=1324213603]^^^Well, lets see how the votes will go, i will try not to influence it. . .[/quote]Lol. Very funny

[quote author=*dhtml link=topic=815510.msg9720917#msg9720917 date=1324796400]I have been banned uncountable times, and also a law-abiding trouble-maker. . . i nominate skydancer![/quote]Oh geez, lol. You're a truly law-abiding trouble maker
ps:why is segsalerty's name not up?

Hmm, ericot. Who are you?

Section poster of the year Why my name? Not even dhtml or fayimora? It's not fair naw. I don't remember posting more than once so I vote omo

slick708:
hi skydancer,pls can u tell me d site i can download freebrowser software n how 2 configure it? Thanks

huh? What do you mean by 'free browser software'?

Hmm, when I refer to security measures, I'm actually more scared of website hijacks, rfi, lfi and co. A legal user registers on your site and starts to explore the security weaknesses, and eventually takes over it for you. The StockExchange stuff is cool though, nice job

Hmm, you sound like SSO is a fuss Of course that can be seen by a dumb web developer. It is easily seen that the sites are on different subdomains and can therefore not be the same drupal installation. Thought you were referring to some security measure or style. I personally don't like the ideas of 'cookies only' for security. When I was talking about firefox, I was actually referring to fiddler addon, I was thinking the subdomain was performing some kind of special hidden security measures

Hmm, the coding seems really pretty raw, you may have done it for different reasons. I can analyze what exactly it's doing on firefox though, but it seems like your own personal choice more or less.

Oh, and sorry, I forgot to add.

You really did a good awesome job with that site. I just hope it's easy to maintain. Nice job man

Btw, have you tried developing stuff like twitter or facebook before?

Edit: Ok, Can see a bit of drupal now. . .

Oh, sorry. It's been a long time. Usernames and nice names and all can really get confusing on Nairaland.

Lol, nice. People are really lazy both physically and mentally. One thing I have discovered with getting a good team is your ability to really share your passion and motivation across those who look up to you. In the beginning, never target the big guys for a team, just go with someone who has a bit of knowledge or skills, who is ready and completely willing to learn and work. At first I was doing most things alone, but now I don't just have a great team, but I have many who are willing to work with me; a really big temptation. (Running Lean is the smart way )
Secondly, one should do a complete prototype of whatever they want to build first, before going ahead. It's very important one creates a business plan of whatever they are doing as it will help them analyze what they are doing and how exactly to move ahead.

Btw, how come it appears you're hosting your site yourself? Or are you not Sawyerrken?

DHTML, I love your fascination about Google Translator, anyway, spammers are much more easier to catch than that If I was going to chat with a spammer, it would be so I can get his location. Anyways, this is much different from a translator. There is a large team at Google working on Google translator. When they want to develop translations for a language, they can go to a whole University, get their best professors in that language, create a condusive working environment for them, and give them some spreadsheet tasks to complete. I have seen this myself and I was one of the people who facilitated Google in Pidgin translation.
The thing is, it takes an understanding of different philosophies of the brain to understand how this works. Did you hear about the new processor just developed by IBM that has neurally connected switches like the brain? It has already received some million dollars of funding (even though IBM already has money). Just because they said it can help develop computers that can behave like our brains. Have you read about the next Kinect device Microsoft is building that can read emotions and all? Did you read about the machines built by scientists that can get clips and images from our thoughts and if we were thinking about a video or image, it could identify it when shown? The truth is we're already getting there, but the big companies have leverage.
I am not trying to approach the matter from the big doors, I'm just trying to get in via a small hole that I'm quite convinced is leading to the inside. I would have worked better with a team, but all the people I talk to really seem dumb about it, so It's like I'm stuck with myself.

I believe you are talking about Blogger here.
It all depends on what you want to use your website for, but Wordpress is not comparable to Blogger. Wordpress is more robust and is used for more than18% of the websites that exist on the WWW today.
If you simply want to create a blog where you can be posting information frequently, I advice you to go with Blogger, however if you are looking for something you can have complete control over or you want to create something more customized and corporate, go with Wordpress.

Okay, no more bumping. We're done with this.

Interesting. The old argument between which is better between invention and innovation. I too, believe invention is better than innovation. You surely do not think it's luck that made Windows the worldwide choice PC? Bill Gates wanted you and me (the common people) to have personal computers, and you should be grateful to him for that. Others didn't agree with him.
He worked with steve Jobs together on Apple II, it wasn't just Steve's thing. And Steve with his arrogance would never buy the idea of making computers cheap enough (even till his death). Yeah, Bill Gates is a dreamer, but Steve was even a lesser dreamer, and it's big dreamers that win, that's why we say dream big   But I understand you're incapable of that, your strong down-to-earth and critical and over-analytic attitude won't allow you, will it?

Bill Gates is cold-blooded? Wow, let's clap for you   If being cold-blooded is offering billions of dollars to poor and incapacitated people, offering students incentives to make solutions for the world, and trying to make the common man have a PC, then Steve Jobs was ice-blooded  

Stop equating what? I wasn't the one who said 'What a man can conceive, he can achieve'. IMO, I think you should stop trying to see everything your way  

OMG! They call Bill Gates and this guy begins to rant about Microsoft?

You think being great or changing the world is about coding? No! It's about dreaming alive! He wanted a world and he did his best create that world? Wasn't he working with IBM and telling them the type of PC they should make? A PC that everyone could afford? Did IBM listen? And you mention Steve Jobs who barely ever had time to do anything good? His arrogance nearly cost him Apple. A smart smooth-talker who is always too protective of his ideas and talks about his products like they are made-in-heaven.

The people who really change the world are not necessarily inventors. These guys in front of the media are great visionaries and motivators; and that's all it takes to be a giant success.

Bill Gates, Google and Facebook (Not Mark though )

So essentially, I'm saying Bill Gates

Where and When? And how come you are asking how much?
