@omo_to_dun:
Hmm, the 'coding arrogance' is quite strong here. I understand you, but I think you should think a little bit more positively.

Oh geez, that was quite some fun with csharp there. I know c++ is roughly 2times faster 

Here's my code: (took roughly 4 mins on my pc)

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Primes
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            double total = 0;
            Console.Write("Enter max for check: ";
            double max = Convert.ToDouble(Console.ReadLine());
            for (double d = 2; d < max; d ++)
            {
               if(isPrime(d)) total += d;
            }
            Console.WriteLine("The total sum of prime numbers from 1 to {0} is : {1}", max, total + 1);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        private static readonly List<double> primes = new List<double>();

        static bool isPrime(double i)
        {
            foreach(double d in primes)
            {
                if(d <= (i/2))
                {
                    if ((i % d) == 0) return false;
                }
            }
            primes.Add(i);
            return true;
        }
    }
}

"It takes time and understanding to percieve what's going on in the world of technology. Every one at least recognizes that we have come to the information age, but do they recognize what will dominate the information age? Do the youths that try to become relevant in this age recognize the industrial workspace they plan to build on?

One thing is obvious: The internet will become the aorta of the information age. Every single device will be connected to something. Majority of products and services that are used frequently by humans will be on the internet - within our immediate reach. The internet will become the portal you see in StarGate, or Harry Potter, a way to reach out to everything you need.

In this respect, I will take Microsoft for an examplary analogy. Have you taken time to see what the old company of 1983 is doing? Microsoft is trying to bring a new wine, but new wine does not fit into old skin, so they are gradually rebuilding the skin. That's why they are moving into the clouds and investing into products they think will dominate in this new era, Windows 8 has some of its files running on the internet.
Why?
Because Microsoft has realized that Operating Systems will not be a major issue in the information age. Soon operating sytems will simply be a way to connect to the internet. Still don't get it? Every single software or service you use on your PC will soon be accessible online. (and most are already accessible). You won't need to bother updating it. Companies will be held responsible for virus attacks on your files. Every single pc out there will simply become an advanced communication device. And the next version of devices will be robots and androids.

Our youths are being swept away by the tide of information left loose on the media. Most have put themself in a position where they simply sit back and watch the succesful ones, maybe due to the balance-seeking nature of the cosmos. They have easy access to an enormous unorganized amount of information to achieve success, and their mind now percieves success more as a fantasy than reality (even without them realizing it).

So why am I writing this?
I am writing this for the sake of the intelligent and inspired youths who want to set great foundations of success in this era. One of our major problems is our poor analytical skills. You cannot analyze correctly if you don't understand the situation you are facing. To understand properly, you need to be broad-minded, well-informed and organized. Read widely and stretch your imagination to its maximum. Let your creativity soar in boundless realms. We are the people that will define this age for our children and our generation, the old icons (like Alan Turing, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates) that are now growing old have done their best to set the pace. I have been impressed with a couple of Nigerians I have met, and this being my 20th year, I know my time is running out fast.

The most wonderful thing about technology is that it's the easiest tool you can use to bring an imagination to reality with a proper careful creation of the mind. Think about it, every good technology product you know today started in the mind of someone, few days later, it was born. We are coming close to a mind-power era (Imagine when you will be able to instruct robots to build a program for you).

Our creativity may have been surpressed by the poor education we recieve in our schools, but we can unleash our natural creativity by courage combined with the force of our imagination. It's the only way we can really bring to reality the expectations of humans for the information age.

I call upon you all, expressing my confidence and trust in you. Success comes only with a lot of hardwork and wisdom. If you haven't, make a decision now:
To read lesser but more powerful material, and focus more on organizing all the information you have in order to set a focused target for yourself.
To speak less about your desires in order not to make it appear like a dream/story to your mind.
And to realize that what goes on in our minds is too important, it's our sourceforge, our engine, it's the stuff that defines who we become."

thought this would be worth sharing,  a note I wrote on facebook

Alright, I believe this won't be too much, but just for the fun of it, I want to do this. If you have any programming project or assignment, just post it here. I write mostly in C#, but a little of CPP, VB, Java and Python so at times if you have really tough stuff, you might have to figure out how to translate it to your own language

I hope this thread serves as a learning resource hub for both beginning programmers and even advanced programmers like me in Nigeria, and the rest of the world

Let the coding begin 

I am really happy to see that finally, a reasonable programming community is coming up in Nigeria. If you have not realized it, the world is keeping an eye on Nigeria, waiting for the next Hiroshima bomb of the Information Age. Programming as we all know, gives us the power of demi-gods; enable us to instruct machines to do anything we want.

For starters, I suggest you read a brief history of programming languages (You can easily find one online), and then you start of with something simple and basic like QBASIC, then move on to something like CSharp or Java.

For others, I am only hoping that we realize the truth that the information age has just begun, and so many inventions are yet to herald it. Robotics, Automated Systems, and Artificial Intelligence systems are at a critical stage of imperfection. Even choice of programming language is still a confusion due to certain specialties that may be in our intentions.

In this direction, I'm suggesting the intermediate/advanced ones super-tune themselves and develop keen interests in learning the computer architecture and understanding hardware programming. The information age will be accompanied by new hardware and new software, and sticking to old stuff won't help. We're the youths of this age, we're the best fit that can truly define the future of our world. Let us not sit down and be stuffed out by the struggle for survival, besides, anyone who has enough skills that can solve people's problems has survival as the least problem to worry about.

If you have any suggestions, or story or idea of developing the future, please feel free to share. As for me, I'd suggest we reduce our exposure to news, and keen more on self mastery, organizing the information we already have, know the activities we want to include or exclude in our lives, and develop powerful desires to achieve our goals.

I think most will start by developing the most popular apps on facebook

My number is 070660781. You have to add a double 5 to the end, won't like bots ripping my number off the forum.

puskin:
flex it like its HAWT.

lol, are you learning the art of heartbreak? , size suggests a video tutorial rather than a movie

kadman:
There are dozens of this thread already. Did we really need another one

eh, kindly post a link to the other threads here.

Best thing to do will be to embed the google translate api which hopefully uses java in your application.

Download it from http://code.google.com/p/google-api-translate-java/

Mind you, the application will need to be connected on the internet though.

eh, does anyone know precisely the exact fees for NIIT?

Yes it is possible if you have an advanced phone, some sony ericsson and nokia phones do it, but this is not the right thread for this

I'll call you if I can, but my email is opatachibueze@gmail.com if you need to contact me sooner

Pls help, I need code to unock my MTN f@stlink modem.

IMEI 3546 3804 7294 102

kindly assist .thanks.

Here's your unlock code: 45281749

that's a blank site :p

did I hear someone say IWP is nearing its end.

@v3: if u wait for people to hit u up, you won't achieve anything. It's too bad I'm not a java programmer which creates a limitation, but if I am able to analyze it well @ anytime, I'll consider rewriting it in c#, though I ain't got any use for it yet, unless someone's willing to pay me

try connecting your modem with PC Suite. If it doesn't work, then try connecting with MTN Fastlink software. Let me know of what's happening

Oops,  now, for my last post for 2010 

anyone needs help?

@all,  blaze with www-skydance-co-cc/copy.php on IWP version 2 for the mean time (of course you have to convert the hyphens to dots),

in btw,  who knows how to configure private iwp server with skywebtunnel,  one of my friends talked me about it but I lost his number,
