Don't overhype csc and downplay programmers. My csc friend use to boast that they know most math we physicist study , but the truth is if csc student do alot of calculus and engineers and physicist go into programming you can't just downplay them. CSC is good as hype my first programming language was c++ as a physicist we also did embedded programming which is writing code to the hardware that made me understand the way bios system work and how you could duplicate your own embedded computer. You don't expect we as physicist writing code to and hardware from scratch not to know how to write simple front end code. If you talk about algorithm and data I'll still give that to the statisticians and mathematicians not even the csc. Now tell me what are the special skill of a computer scientist that engineers and other scientist can study and be good at. Leave algorithm out of this many data scientist without csc are good with algorithm

You just said the worst thing ever I just heard. You lack the fundamental knowledge of who a computing scientist is. How can you give data algorithms to statisticians?.

Statistician use mainly algorithms that deals with statistics. Infact I don’t even want to waste my time.
So the algorithms google uses for real time search was invented by who?
Who invented sorting algorithms.
Who invented algorithms for picture generation
For string digestion and language rule digestion.

Who bring algorithms for data storage.

My friend please get informed jare

No one is refuting the fact that these guys you've mentioned didn't do remarkably well in their time but in today's computing world software engineers have really taken things to a whole different level.

Is there anything you do today that you do not need a software of some sort to first simulate the process to be taken? Rewind the hand of time back to when Turing designed the Enigma machine and hand him a piece a software that simulates the whole process, trust me you would have made his job 1000times easier and faster.

However, the reason why we argue is what I do not understand. If for anything else we both agree that cs is quite broad and regardless of what you specialize in:

Applied Mathematics
Digital Image/ Sound
Artificial Intelligence
Microprogramming
Bioinformatics
Networks And Administration
Computer Architecture Networks
Cryptography
Computer Engineering
Operating Systems
Computer Game Development
Robotics
Computer Graphics
Simulation And Modeling
Computer Programming
Software Development
Software Systems
Data Management
Web Development
Design Databases
Parallel Programming
iOS Development
Mobile Development
Memory Systems
Computational Physics

we all need each other.

Coding is a fundamental to all scientist and not just for computing scientist. You are changing the argument now. No one and not me is saying coding isn’t needed by a computing scientist. What I am basically saying is that being a programmer will not make you a computing scientist and no matter how good you code you will never be a computing scientist. To be a computing scientist you need the mathematical and theoretical knowledge of computation whether outside or within a school.

What you mentioned especially the software part are branches of computing science and not necessarily the core. Anyone could learn the branch to some pragmatic level but to go beyond you need a core knowledge of computation.

Crvrider:
So what do you think brought about the course, cs? CS is mainly software engineering. Anyone studying to become a computer scientist 98% more likely doing it because of coding.



But where will you do all of this if not on a computer.

The young man you quoted hit the nail right on the head. School curriculums are bloated with all manner of stuffs you don't need...hence the reason he said "jack of all trade master of none."

A self taught programmer if he/she is the serious type will learn far more than a student who has spent 4yrs in the university pursuing a cs degree. In many ways the self taught is more focal on the things that are strictly cs related. Cs and software engineering are like butter and bread. You can't really mention one without the other. So, if your cs lecturer has no clue about coding and concerns himself with things theory, bro run from such a school. More so, I see what inspired your reasoning.

Today the buzz word is data science. Can you even think about being a data scientist without even knowing how to code? Data analysis is more than just excel spreadsheet or databases? In the short run you will need to query these data, now how do you suppose you'll do that?

Some few questions for you though:
How will your lecturer test his algorithm?
How will you compute data without the need of a computational device?
Where do you want to store your data, in your pocket?

Before computer came into existence there were already computer and the first were some set of females which were given large numbers and figure to compute at real time. The fact they computed the data isn’t the logic there. They simply could have employed People and hand them calculator but that wasn’t the case. The case it that they are special trained to accept data and manipulate those data that gives the required result just like the present machine does today. A computing scientist don’t need to be a good programmer. Alan Turing developed the Utimate computer (Turing Machine) which will never be built in reality on paper. He drew the machine technique on paper and the manner it works. Alan Turing developed some of the working technique of how today computer shuld accept data and treat it.
See computing has many branches, there are some computing scientist which main job is to store data and retrieve them in quick time. This people works in large organizations and develop all sort of logic for organization data storage and retrieval. Some computing scientist are into just networking and transfer of data. They develop all sort of theory for accurate data management and transfer. For example the zip algorithms was the hand work of many computing scientist e.g HuffMan and many but this same guys didn’t make any popular zip app you see today instead their idea were used by programmers to make those apps

Lastly don’t get me wrong, I never said computing scientist don’t need to know how to program. I said they don’t have to be great at it.

Basalt:
Now let me ask you a and I demand all honesty.
As a computer scientist, what can you do for a company?

Let's assume you didn't go to Bootcamp to learn coding or any additional skill

As a computing scientist in a company I could create algorithms to help them organize, seek and store data in a quick time.
I could also invent strong algorithms to help them secure their data.
I could also help them build a system for fast data transmission.
I could also ensure I create a data system for concurrent and synchronized access. Job of a computing scientist is not anywhere really close to using a computer even in most times we do.

I once saw “connect and and you are among”
Oboi me no understand wetin be among o!

Another one I saw back in school. “We steal your data”
I believe say na play but I jejely no connect o because that time na online school fee I wan pay

Macro231101:
I have this girl have been dating for more than a year now, she has actually not contributed anything to me or to my life, even kiss she no gree allow me kiss oooo but she loves demanding and me being a generous fool I keep on giving into her demands, it was last month I asked her if she was a virgin she said she doesn't know, can u imagine a girl of more than 20yrs doesn't know if she is a V or not... Please I really need help, I don't know if I should break up with her or continue... Cos I'm tired... I nor even like the girl again self but don't want to hurt her feelings

Sometimes I shake my head terribly to hear that a guy has been begging a girl for a kiss. Like WTF!!!!! Just negodu as the girl is just asking from you for this and that and while you stupidly keep giving her. You deem it fit to come here and tell us that you are “generous”.

If she isn’t a girl and you don’t like her would you still be generous? Oga stop those shenanigans and just accept you are addicted to being a maga around her.

Let me also shock you that as much as you continue to be the MAGA. Your first kiss will come after you spend up to a million Naira on her . While Olu at the compound will be doing different style with just 100 Naira recharge card.

You have to stop giving her money make you look generous, people see you as generous when you help anyone around in need and not because you are helping a particular person per se. infact people you spend on most time aren’t aware how generous you are until you are gone. Even if you are, don’t give girls the impression that they control what you do. Worst case if you must spend on her then also give her a task to do that would suit you.

“I want go so so, are you coming with me? I will buy you —-“

“I am at home this weekend, are you gonna come over let’s eat —- and watch —-“

Don’t ever tell a girl you wanna give her money, if it should happen when she has done something that makes you happy or when she has sacrificed something e.g transport, long amount of time. Or she lost something because of you.
Bottom line is that you should always create the impression that you spend out of necessity or self will and not out of her beauty or conviction.

Hence forth, she should get money from you based on your own terms, money are meant to lure greedy ladies and not spend on them worst case you pay according to their service and money are meant to be spent on loyal and true caring ladies who treats us as king (only when you have o, no go drink garri because of girl matter), don’t ever get it twisted in your life.

When next you want a kiss from a girl as much as you have the money and you are in a comfortable place, reach for it, she be pressured to show her true color. She refuse, you carry you money go, she accept you have your kiss, if she ask you to pay for the kiss you then give her a coin.

I won’t say anything else.

IGBO AMAKA!!!

now you’re starting a tribalistic comment later on you will come out and say people hate igbo.

dorianhall:
Google has recently started the work on resolving another Google Chrome annoyance, and while this isn’t necessarily related to a new feature, it’s still big news for Windows users.

Right now, if you install the 64-bit version of the browser on Windows, the application stores some of its data in the x86 version of the program files folder on the operating system. For example, I’m running Chrome 64-bit on Windows 10 right now, and this is the default location where the browser was installed:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome
So despite being a 64-bit browser, it still puts its files in the x86 folder, something that makes no sense these days. And by the looks of things, it didn’t make any sense in 2014 either, as this is a problem that was first reported six years ago on the Chromium Bugs tracker.
Six-year-old problem

A Chromium engineer said in 2014 this is exactly how they designed the browser but promised some changes in this regard at some point in the future.

“This is intentional for now. Future work will be done to move Chrome to the 64-bit Program Files folder,” they posted in the same bug report.

Fast forward six years later and here’s Google finally working on resolving the whole thing. As discovered by TechDows, Google Chrome 64-bit will install in the correct place beginning with a future update. This means some files will be stored at:
C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome
However, it looks like only new installations will go to this path, so if you’re already running Chrome, you must remove it and then reinstall the browser to have all files moved to the correct folder.

There’s still no ETA as to when the whole change is supposed to happen, but for now, the good thing is that it took Google only six years to put Chrome’s files in the correct place on Windows.

What is the importance of having our folder in the 64bit folder?

Masturbation= Self rape. So??��


In other news,

I have an iPhonee 7Plus 128gig to sell
Very clean as new (rose gold)
130k with cord charger.....

mrkings84:
ok, rape.... Ok, try....

I wonder where your are resurrecting your weird theories from. How is masturbation a sin. Where was it written and how was it implied a sin?
Rape is for beast and highly condemnable but not masturbation has no place where it is condemnable. I hope you’re trying to talk about pornography.

mrkings84:
Repent bro. Masturbation is a sin!!

I said the latter.

udoekere:
please can u shade more light at the bottom line where u say coding facebook and google to work optimally?

google and Facebook and some other highly intensive website uses heavy algorithm plus server services to ensure they deliver quality services. Like google search algorithms and ranking algorithms. It need someone with quality experience to do that

clarkmos15:
Please guys i want to start programming, we are supposed to start programming next semester but because of coronavirus school is on hold.

what softwares do i need?

seun
lalasticlala
nobody

Pick a language.
Get a laptop
Watch YouTube videos on how to install the compiler and run your first code.
Get a solid PDF book and read till the end.
Then you become an amateur coder.

mrkings84:
Which of the two do u enjoy indulging in??

The latter

udoekere:
Just lately i came across a post on nairaland stating that one needs to study computer science in the university to be a good programmer.
but my question is do i really need to study computer science to be a web developer?. I don't really want to know a damn about algorithm and data structure,i just want to focus on web development..
your opinion will be appreciated.thanks

The knowledge of computing science gives you a solid rock background as a coder but it is not a necessity. Web dev is a small part of computing science that needs some small part of theory to get down with it. Many successful web developer have little knowledge of computation.
Same way a lot of people work in the banking sector without certification on banking and finance. Although there are critical part of web dev that requires heavy computational knowledge e.g coding Google and Facebook to work optimally

fergie001:
I am serious......Someone needs to explain to me.

On a serious not wild life has a bright future in Nigeria but I don’t know how soon the future will be. We really have too little platform for wildlife management and I know someday it would be something lucrative. As much as we don’t hunt all our wildlife. Someone must always take care of them. It’s just a matter of time.

dynicks:
I see spirit of baby mamaism hovering around some places right now....

I forbid it for Rema

fergie001:
No course is useless but you see Wild Life Conservation, in Nigeria?

I don't understand...

Binikingdowm:
thanks. As a beginner I don't think I will go into those ones, it might confused me

Then stick with front end and learning JS as a language.
There are many frameworks for front end designers
ReactJS, VueJS, AngularJs, Bootstrap
All are based on JavaScript.

Learn java script and learn HTML, CSS and those frameworks then you will be a badass frontend coder.

IntersexSherry:
Many men are not well behaved and that's how society raised them up to be. They are raised up to be wild and violent like animals, not to do any domestic chores, to be having sex with numerous women, getting married to many wives, even thought to be violent with their wives or girlfriends, also taught to be in constant war with their fellow man. Friends are also one of the things that corrupt men. Following bad gangs, womanizing, doing drugs, cyber trafficking, pornography etc
[s]A woman's heart is very fragile and always seeks for true love, for that right person that will love her, respect her, and treat her nice the way she wants. Even sidechicks, prostitutes want to be loved. [/s] say very few woman and those things she wants sometimes after the same Mr right has made money
When you are lucky enough to find a man who always greets you, talks nicely with you, smiles at you, even does domestic chores for you, a man who never lays his hands on you or abuse you, always respect you, never cheats on you even if you test him with other women, he is still faithful to you. He always calls you, checks on you, respects your friends, never ashamed to introduce you to his friends or family, never ashamed to be with you anywhere, always talks nicely of you even when he is with his friends or family, always defends you in good or bad times, always finds you the most beautiful with or without makeup, compliments you always, never ask you for money or anything. My dear, these are the type of guys you should be grabbing irrespective of how their pocket is or how they look like .

If he is poor and have a good personality like that, you can help assist him by also working hard and providing him with money to start up something, these guys are the ones you should stick with because they will truly love and appreciate you.

All those rich or handsome guys you girls keep chasing after, most of them are womanizers, wife beaters, cheaters, yahoo boys, fraudsters, some are even married men but yet you girls don't care, just chase after money and later get hurt at the end when he finally dumps you. I am sure you wouldn't want to end up that way so think wisely and date wisely.

Your write up is over bloated.

Binikingdowm:
what is the job of a backend coder??

They are responsible for how a website work from the Back. Like saving password, sign up, login. Database records and email functionality and many algorithms to handle data.

Binikingdowm:
wow this is so complex.

I've read in this forum where they said HTML, CSS are the first to learn! What do you think?

They are not programming languages. They languages for structuring and style content on browsers. But for computer communication you need to understand a language. For a web coder HTML and CSS is a plus. But I basically don’t do any of the two, for most part of my coding. It all falls to which stack you chose. If you are a front end coder. HTML and CSS is a must.

For me I am a core (Backend) coder, so I basically don’t work so much with HTML and CSS. Just majorly PHP

Binikingdowm:
thanks, I was so excited thinking learning a programming can make me an hacker.

Guess I'll settle for web development, as for web development, please can you tell me the first programming language to learn and the stuffs to download?

I am a core PHP coder but so will suggest you pick as stack and I will suggest you learn NodeJS.
