working on both PC and mobile

Then your path is straight, go into Java/Kotlin. This are preferred language for android dev.

Bosses, I have tried so much in the past two days to know why my navlist overflows out of the border when I try to reduce the width of the browser but to no avail. I have wrapped it a container that has an 80% width. Kindly help me review. This has stopped the site from being responsive.

Your CSS property is obviously the problem

.navbar li {
    padding: 30px;
    font-size:25px;
}

---

If this code is interpreted well it means you are adding about 60px padding for an element horizontally and 60px padding vertically. Also 30px seem to be very large padding for navigation space but next time you need to pad element ensure you do it properly.

padding: 30px

This is a short hand form or equivalent to

padding-top: 30px;
padding-right: 30px;
padding-bottom: 30px;
padding-left: 30px;

---

The ordering is very important, top-right-bottom-left. Another way of writing it is this;

padding: 30px 30px 30px 30px;

---

and lastly the final way is

padding: 30px;

---

The last line was the exact problem in your code which made your nav overstretched from the screen. To get it back if you must still use your 30px here are your solution.

.navbar li {
    padding-left: 30px;
    font-size:25px;
}

or

.navbar li {
    padding: 0 0 0 30px;
    font-size:25px;
}

when using 0(zero) don't add a scale to it.

The idea behind the solution is just to specify a padding left which is just enough to separate the navs rather than in all directions.

---

On a lite not you're better off using margins rather than padding. Margins are for that exact purpose, padding is for making an element rise and swell to cover up it surrounding space and it makes sense when coloring website so as to fill blank spaces. so here could be another solution.

.navbar li {
    margin: 0 0 0 30px;
    font-size: 25px;
}

I like to get a feedback.

alright boss,the major reason I want to study this thing is to create a bot

if you say so then i suggest you looking into python or C++.

Is the bot gonna be on a mobile or a pc platform or web?

Do you understand cloud computing and have a good knowledge of how video conferencing work?

I understand how they work and why is that important?

I don't have knowledge in ICT or computer except browsing, can I learn programming and be successful

what's the difference between programming and coding?

Programming is like learning Yoruba Language or Igbo language. Just that the people who you speak it to are computers. Coding is the moment you write the language to computer so that they can interpret it. Unlike human most computer don’t speak they instead love to read and write response back to you.
If you learn to speak English Language while you were young and without any skill why not now.
Simple get a laptop and start coding.
For your level start with JavaScript Programming Language (Not because it is easy but because it is easy to start coding with it).
You may need to learn HTML and CSS although they are not programming language but they are entry knowledge to starting JavaScript. YouTube tutorial vids will do the magic for you.

Nonybb:
Nonsense. Why are they giving this ASH@WO relevance all the time. She no wan go marry. Look at her menopause reaching. She looks so unserious in life

why not mind your business. You that have married where is your legacy to show for it ?

yesloaded:
Firstly, its wrong to force any woman (including your wife) to shine her Congo

Secondly, you don't quickly assume someone is dead until certified/proven by medical professional

In conclusion, it's wrong to throw the dead body (if at all certified dead) into the well

only a knowledgeable and wise person knows this. Which for certain he isn’t one of them

Crownstar01:
That's true. Let me complete the story. So the two girls told me they want to sleep over, so I asked them to go to the one of the rooms. At about 10 pm, they started smoking, I was very disappointed. Not knowing that they were waiting for me to fall asleep first.

I called another friend of mine to come over but unfortunately, it was a little bit late. So, I locked my kitchen and went straight to my room. I was on the bed but never fell sleep for close to one hour.

Then eventually, I started sleeping. I felt someone who was using needle injection to take my blood in the dream, I stood up and went directly to their room and shout at the girls and said this to them. Don't ever try any nonsense on me because you could be hurt. Tell your mom in the ocean that I'm too strong for all of you.

You can’t be serious. Like what the hell is dat If na me I don japa run neighbors house o. How did you manage to remain in such house?

Crownstar01:
That's true. Back to our discussion, in terms of women and relationships, just apply a little of psychology, then you would deal with a situation. That is why as a man you need to work hard to have money in your pocket. Not necessarily being rich but to have money to cater for yourself and your family.

You see, any woman who tells you that she doesn't like money is lying to you. Women and money go hand-in-hand.

although most of this charms running now around now adays is nothing but Ojukokoro. They see a rich guy and automatically they want him to be their money bag. My best advice for single rich guys who aren’t married yet is to keep his eyes open o. And when people approach you, always look out who they are rather than what they appear to be. Also one has to be spiritually stable. I will advise being a strong Christain with good personal relationships with God.

Crownstar01:
These are kids. The best way to learn in life is through other people's experience. That is why the whites are far better than us. Take a look at what's happening in Nigeria today, do you think there's future for this country?

If you ask my opinion. This Continent is the way it is because of the attitude of the people living in it. Africa is a continent with people who don’t see anything glorious in indulging in things like creating infrastructures and training it citizen to compete with modern world. To us it is not our thing. A typical African man wants to just enjoy life and by that I mean enjoy life with what others has built on ground, not of his own making. If we get serious in Africa and decide to put our Gbedu mentality aside and put ourselves to work out things and change our society then something would happen.

Crownstar01:
Yes, there are nonentities here who don't seem to learn from other people's experience and the next thing they do is to insult you in order to sound cool.

True but since they are a constant why not just live life since they would still talk either ways

Abeg how I take reach this country?

Crownstar01:
You're laughing? Now, let me tell you a story. There were two girls who came to my house couple of months ago. At first, I thought they came just to see me and I was expecting them to leave in the evening because they came in the morning and that was on Saturday.

So, about 2 pm, I called one of my friends to join us. My friend came but was not using the right words on the other girl. I was perplexed. What I saw with my eyes that night? Only God saved me. But then again, I was very brave.

Generally, you should always treat women nice especially when they visit you and don't make any attempt to sleep with them unless they wanted it.

I go like know wetin you see o. So you told me a story and removed the most important part. Haba!

Crownstar01:
Yes. This is particularly why I don't allow any woman who I do not trust sleep over in my place because night is the worst battle you can do with the devil.

othermen:
Why don't you do this, and compare this place with a finer and well structured city or town? Asaba indigenes would come online to tout how remarkable and beautiful the place is, when actually it is not. The roads are tarred, but poorly tarred, there are hospitals but it's not equipped with staff or healthcare equipment.

Folks too, would come here and present edited images of their school, making the management and the government very comfortable... When actually, the school, its library, toilets, classes 'is' an eyesore. Why not compare your current state to what is obtainable in saner climes? Asaba will be great or comparable when you use your camera to highlight the defect, and let us shame those in charge, the commissioners and all...calling them out... but you don't know your representatives, not to mention your commissioners. We have a long way to go, really. Do a video, that will help attract investors to your state, bringing employment and infrastructural development, do a video, that shows our needs. Folks die in government hospitals due to power outage and very insignificant reasons... use your video to highlight this, and this platform to call em out. You are not alone.

Truth hurts. But you said it. Ignore dogmatic comment of users with stockholm syndrome

Crownstar01:
Not all women that come to you come for a good purpose. Remember that.

yeah true but so rather be vigilant that keep thinking it wouldn’t work for me. That is why it is better to have one long term partner.

Crownstar01:
Because I have a guiding angel I guess. I could recall one day, a lady came to meet me and she was well-prepared. She put something in her handbag. When she came to my house, my first question to her was what did you put into your bag before coming here? The girl was so shocked.

since I was not there I believe you.

Crownstar01:
All these rubbish cannot work on me.

Because you’re?

Hi everyone
I intend to create a social media site, but I don't know how much it will cost. Pls tell me if you know so that o can start making my budget.

what kind of website?

etrange:
Where did I mention or compared computing science with anything? Nobody ever mentioned anything like "computing scientist" or remotely compared that to "programming" till you brought it up yourself and made it the base of your submissions. It has been clarified over and over again what computing meant in my context but you keep going around that for reasons best known to you.

My point to you is that comparing cybersecurity and "programming" and calling one a big cat is vague. Programming is a very general word and it cuts across different areas including cyber security itself. It doesn't make any logical sense to use the generic word "programming" in this scenario. Some cyber security guys also write programs for things like penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, etc. so to a point, they are programming too. Database developers write programs too (routines). Animation experts write programs. It is like comparing Data Science or Machine Learning with "programming" knowing fully well that in one way or the other, these fields have programming as a sub component. If you want to make such comparison, you have to be specific about the type of programming you mean. That's the only time it will make sense.

Good luck with your career, bro.

O now I get your point, by mentioning programming you are trying to point out it could possibly be anyone including senior devs and coders right. I agree with you. When I mentioned in my original post I didn’t paint this picture. I was painting a picture of when people are comparing computing scientist to a programmer which for me didn’t make sense.

I didn’t put it in the scenario where a programmer in his own right as a programmer been lesser than a computing scientist. Everyone na boss for im lane. An engineer is a pro at his job, so as an architect.

But what I have been saying all along is when people compare programmers to computing scientist on the field of computing.

I guess we missed the point of our discussion along the way. The claim that I said you compare computing scientist to a programmer is not true and if I ever did wasn’t intentional. I was sticking to the thread topic.

WoundedLamb:
You'll not learn from people if you continue like this .

He told you exactly what meaning he used in his message and yet you left that and went ahead to tell him what computing is in CS. You really think you know that more than he does? You keep saying Computing Science, where did he ever mention computing science? Were you not the one that brought in computing as a science? He said computing and still went on to show you the plain meaning but you kept making fuse about something that was never relevant to his correction. Even in your last message to him above, you're still being adamant and bringing up a comparison he never made. You type like a student. All these exuberances are immature and typical of people with very limited knowledge.

Based on what exactly is your analogy right? That cyber security is like lion or whatever to programming? Seriously, that was a hasty generalization. What type of programming were you referring to specifically? The same programming that made the tools cyber security guys use? A good deal of the OS itself was written by programmers. So what exactly is the bases for your analogy? It's obvious you were just thinking of mobile and web programming when you said that (this, I believe, was exactly what they guy was trying to point out) and the least I expected you to do was to say that was what you meant but you're still being stubborn.

Now you’re taking things too far and your stance of me defining this and that just means you don’t understand what started the discussion. You also Said I was thinking of web and mobile which will be weird if I ever did so. You said I speak like a student also. I could have ignored this message but I am trying to tell you that this things you just wrote up there is nothing but your opinion. Also maybe you should realize I am comparing a computing scientist to a programmer on the ground of computing. What started the topic was some person where trying to stare up an argument that programmers are better of than a computing scientist which I was trying to clarify to them that a computing scientist is not anything like a programmer. He may program but it is not the core of his work.

Maybe you should read what I wrote from another angle it might appeal better.

etrange:
Are we really doing this? Why are you deviating from the message? Computing could mean a lot things depending on the context and I have told you the plain context of which I employed the word (see below). I was not talking about numerical computation. That was not even the gist of my message. The idea was to call your attention to the fact that the small cat/big cat analogy between cyber security and programming is not quite right. If you don't agree with me, I'd be willing to shed more light, if you do, say so and we would move on.

This kind of miscellaneous word picking you're doing is for undergraduates. It's not my thing.

Oh sorry if you feel I am cherry picking. I have no intentions of that. Either ways I still go with my analogy. A computing scientist job isn’t was never to program. Instead his job is how to formulate ideas and techniques for easier and cheaper manipulation of data. This programmer and computing scientist comparison is annoying I swear.

A computing Scientist could be a programmer but that is not the core of his work.

WoundedLamb:
Naw o! Is this the discussion ?

Oga, you're not even addressing the guy's message. Computing has many definitions and he told the one he used in his post. Get back to point or just move on! Haba! This is I why I don't like commenting here. Nobody wants to learn from the other. Everything to you guys is a competition and that's very childish. You're just trying to make it look as if he doesn't know what he's saying instead of addressing his core point.

There's nothing wrong with saying "Yeah, dude. That's a good perspective. I only made that analogy because.....". Instead you went looking for words to attack just to reduce his credibility.

No I didn’t do that. I gave a context when I made my definition. Compute in CSC means to calculate and when doing this it is majorly based on data manipulation unlike maths where it is just mere theoretical numbers. Maybe you felt so but I have no intentions of what you speak.

Brukx:
No, it doesnt work that way. Although to be successful in hacking you need some knowledge of programming. But being a programmer doesn't mean you know how to hack

Dont mind them jor. To them everything and anything about computer is a programmers job

Plaouse:
What programming languages should one learn for backend and fullstark generaly?

Any language
PHP, NodeJS, python.
If you already understand JS then I advise you go to Node

noblebright:
Please nairalanders between Security and database management which one should I go for?

Security seem to be problem here in Nigeria so I suggest you go for that. Database Management is also on the rise with the need for Data science. If you want data management go for Data science instead.

etrange:
Bro, I suggest you take my message about the over generalised comparison between programming and cyber security and stop cherry picking. I didn't say Computer Science or Computing Science. I said computing. Two very different expressions. Computing as a word here is not a field of study. It is just an English word that simply means the use or operation of computers and yes, programming is at the crux of it. I had my BSc in Computer Science, my first MSc in Information Technology and presently doing my second MSc in Computer Science and I've been practicing for more than a decade both in and outside Nigeria, if you really think I don't know what Computer Science is, it's fine. I just thought I should correct an impression on someone supposedly younger in the profession.

Enjoy.

Compute means to use computer. Haba why na?
Compute in computer science means to calculate, it doesn’t have to be with any machine. Machine gives us speed and accuracy and reduce fatigue. Since you are a computing scientist. You know our job is to use a computer(I mean computer like e.g Turing machine) to solve problems of data. This literally doesn’t mean we have to use the physical, it means we should invent the method it can be used in a computer. For example Numerical analysis is a field of computing where computing scientist tries to solve our analytic mathematics using iterative or mechanical formulas so that machine could solve it just like us. E.g calculus

facebook was basic at the start... Don't deceive urself.... Facebook is more than just a website now and so is google the amount of background work on the systems are over basic web development works... Api's for different functions...facebook at one time built its own language or framework(i have forgotten which) facebook uses machine learning on its site.... Which web development framework does that.... Dont even call python or vue.js because no one that is looking for a web developer will be checking for data science skills.... Do due diligence before you ask questions out of emotions

Python is not a framework for your info. Python is a full fledged language. Vue.js is just a frontend framework. Web dev is a concept in it own right. AI in web is nothing new infact many hundred of website have AI in their website. You seem to not have a lot of info about the updates on web world. 3D engine like webGL and more are now on web. Web started around 1991 so it is still young and it pace and speed is something you should give some accolades.

Did I hear you say no one will be looking for web dev and need data science skill. What kind of fuckery is that? Just because web jobs in Nigeria are in the business of building landing pages now gives you the opportunity to conclude that data science can’t work with web dev. Your minds is just limited to where you are living. I no blame you.

Whether Facebook is basic at start or not, now to code even the website alone will cost you millions and the amounts of code is very large. So me nor know wetin you dey talk o
