Abduletudaye:
Ok...thanks for the advice..

As long as you have a personal computer, internet access, books and the right softwares and also the ability to solve problems.. Programming shouldn't be a problem.

ugosonics:

hmmm very education

bro pls i wanna know something pls, am going to NIIT office on monday in ph for counseling

the other time i went there i was contemplating on web development(php,mysql) and enterprise app development (sunjava) pls which one is more lucrative and profitable in naija interms of payment

Enterprise apps are more profitable..
But you should already have a foundation in web development

dhtml18:
Dont mind me o jare, I was just teasing. I am an entrepreneur and I have partner companies. Due to the salary scale of programmers in Nigeria, I will rather not work for any company on employment level (and have never done so till date).

Cool

dhtml18:
Really? so we work in the same area be that nao? How can I increase my 200 naira per month to 250?

.
Was a miracle... My regular pay was 60k per month because I was employed as a web developer... But I topped my skills I started developing apps and softwares & was promoted .senior software developer... But I still want to leave by May, n focus on my startup.... They sometimes pay half....
If you feel you are being underpaid but you still gain more from your company I think you should stay, but still apply for other job positions with higher pay.

Seun:
Dear Programmers & Other Techies,

Please state the kind of company you work for and where it's located, the kind of work you do there, and how much you're paid.

This information will help programmers like you and employers like me a lot during salary negotiations. Thanks!

Work as a Software Developer @ikeja
per month but still freelance .................

HighRoll:
I am a young guy who is constantly seeking for new ways to build my income both ofline and online. Recently i have been researching and brainstorming on start up ideas that may have the potential to turn into full blown multi million Naira businesses.

I have a couple of ideas,but i have settled for one which i think stands out more. Its an app based idea, but i don't have very deep technical knowledge with computer programming and stuff, so I'd like to talk to anyone with knowledge an making app,it's business, no jokers please. Drop your number and I'd call you, or email me the number to Rollerh16@gmail.com.

Thanks.

1. There are lots of copy-paste when building website, which is obviously common in Nigeria, at least to some people, do all these people really understand what they are doing too in terms of how the code works?

2. You don't use very easy and popular frameworks, because of what? What if the one I stumbled upon is not popular and is not easy to use as well.

3. What if I need to submit the project, and its a matter of urgency?

The important thing you should know is your syntax...
1. I've seen so many people who do that and they call themselves developer's but there's a slight gap between them and web designers.. Don't fall in this category.

2. You can use frameworks that's not copy and paste, there's a difference.

3. Always give reasonable deadline for projects forget the fact that you can build it in minutes.

henryobinna:
said I've gotten what I wanted
thanks

You saw the mail right?

Knownpal:
I've really come across lots of incidents where, when I'm about to write an application and I notice I need this particular Framework or API, which I don't know an inch about.
So, lets say you're the one, when you get a book on it or you fired up your browser in search of tutorials. And you come across exactly what you wanna accomplish, now do you copy and paste it in your lines of code or you learn it in depth and tryna write it again from your head base on what you've learned or you tune it to your desires?
Please contribute, I also need matured minds on this.
Thanks.

It happens all the time but when you find out that when ever you want to start a project you cant do without looking for a source code then there's a problem.
Your users dont care if you built it with a free open source code but you really need to understand what you are building.
I once built a website and i was asked to write a documentation on the whole site's source code line by line and lecture the IT team on how to write plugins for the site, if i had used a framework for the backend it wouldn't have been that easy, what I'm saying is when building a big project please don't use a popular n very easy framework you know nothing about for the backend.
Thanks.

abdul01:
Abeg tell me about it cos I haven't heard of such b4.

Whats your email address so I can send it

abdul01:
Oga seun I hail oh!

Observation(in addition to d ones I and some other peeps here have made b4):

How come other social networks like twitter, facebook n co have public APIs that 3rd party devs harness and make intelligence from these data thereby making a living for themselves and NL has none.

Please u need to sit up oh as boys are not smiling! if its for u to hire developers from outside d country to help with (re)building NL, then it won't be far-fetched since dis is d practice of world-class tech coys (e.g google hires d best brains around d world and even hired d creator of python to help build maintain and expand their empire, same thing for other super-startups like linkedIn, dropbox, facebook n co).

Please u really need to take NL to a higher level as I see NL having a potential of facebook, twitter and even google if you are really serious. There's a lot I wanna say, but I'll just leave it like this for now. Cheers!

I use nairaland API (PHP)

fathomberry:
How do I change them back to .html files?

Download this firefox plugin "Mozilla Archive Format" from http://maf.mozdev.org/ it saves any page in .html format

kudaisi:
lol, I'm honoured. Oga you've got me blushing ooo. I'm actually not as much of a guru as you think. There are much better guys in this forum (They just cannot shout). I live and grew up in Lagos. I learnt every bit programming language and frameworks I know by myself, I never saw the need to go to a computer school. I have a degree in Mathematics. I read alot...as far as it has to do with IT. I don't like video tutorials because I believe they tend to skip out on details.

Been working for about 8 years and I'm barely 30..so please don't call me Sir (you are probably older that I am self). Unfortunately I can't tell you where I work (for security reasons). I'm currently a Senior programmer in my department. And I have worked on numerous of projects which I cannot list. However, they span over areas such as assets managements, access control, electronic health records, computer based simulations, document management, encryption systems and I've had to programmer controllers in the past but I don't major on hardware. I am currently working on a Geographic Information System in java for use within my organization.

Thumbs Up kudaisi ......

fathomberry:
I have the w3school offline version which I'm using to brush up my web design skills, and each time I try to open one of the .html pages it opens as a .asp file and asks me if I will like to save/download the file. I've tried different things but yet it still tries to save/download instead of open. Please I need urgent help because I've 'googled' it for almost 4 days now and couldn't find any reliable solution.
Here's a screen dump.

Its because the page was saved as an ASP file Instead of html file Firefox cant open ASP pages.

profsamd:
I am an OND graduate in Architecture from one of the polytechnic in Nigeria.
I later decides of a recent to get programming knowledge due to the fact that I now falls in love with online stuffs, that involves building professional website.
I told a friend about it who is a student programmer and he advice me to go into 2-year course enrolling with NAIT in Ibadan. And I afterby told it to a church brother his also a programmer who currently works with MTN-NG, In his own advice, he told me to enroll into nigeria University to Study Computer Science. That even from My 2nd Year in school I will start to get introduce to them programming languages. And because it also will help me in some important subjects, like Mathematic, Statistics. that I may not have learn if its to be NaIT.
I hereby want to choose either one from the two, But I feel confused. I decide to ask for peoples oppinioun rather.
Please Help me with what you think will be a blessing to me from the two idea above, and please when you choose any, kindly support your choice with more reasons. Thanks Thanks.

From my view I see you really want to learn more on how to code institutions like NIIT won't really help what you need is the right materials and tools you can call me on 08102064720 to know more.

Akinsnaira:
Please send the link to my Mention here on Nairaland, I no longer use that email address you have sent the message to. Please let all the communications be here on Nairaland, coz I have abandoned my email address I used to create my Nairaland profile.

Thanks

I was Banned 2 days for replying your question.. i registered enochlouis,fringantalen and og-softskills all .com domains. Register here syskay.com/domains.html

Bilabong:
the app is all about inputing numberes or word into boxes (column form) let the boxes be a min of 5 and max of 30 and a shuffle button under the forms (boxes) , then the outcome of the shuffle should produce different copies of YES or NO, NEGETIVE or POSITIVE, OVER or UNDER, RED or GREEN. Please when creating the you will add make YES or NO, NEGETIVE or POSITIVE, OVER or UNDER, RED or GREEN as options so i choose any as my choice.
Example using two names : if i type in MR into the first box and MRS into the second the result should be in this format
copy 1: mr yes
mrs yes
copy 2: mr no
mrs no
copy 3: mr = yes
mrs = no
copy 4: mr = no
mrs = yes

the app is totally my idea and will be used personally

Can code the app for you.

I am an experienced php programmer

Can I see a link to your portfolio

Akinsnaira:
Ok thanks, you mean like they give me an account number to make the payment to?

Yes you make the payment to their account number (if you dont have access to internet banking) and add the name of depositor as the domain name you are registering then your email in bracket e.g Name of depositor: www.yourdomain.com (you@gmail.com). You should see all these there.
Syskay is very good. I've hosted 70% of my projects there.

Akinsnaira:
Hello House! I need to register this domain name now but where I am right now, there is no where to facilitate any payment online for me, like Paypal/Credit Card. Please anybody with an idea of any domain name registrar that accepts bank transfer or recharge cards or any other means of payment that can be accessible for me would be appreciated.

Thanks

From my experiences, WordPress are problematic on mobile screen and the tons of plugins

I never said wordpress is better than any software.. besides you are not a developer so I'm not surprised why you are having issues with WordPress.

danvery2k6:
Like any other occupation, the longer you do software development, the more you learn. Often, much of the wisdom one accumulates over time comes from learning the hard way, through trial and error. Other times, though, those who’ve come before you will save you some time (and pain) by imparting the lessons they themselves have learned over the years. One of the good ways to do that is through proverbs, that is, simple sayings that convey a truth, usually based on experience. A Github (https://github.com/AntJanus/programmers-proverbs) repository created last year called Programmer’s Proverbs has been collecting these short sayings from developers.

1.One thing should never do more than one thing.

2.What happens in Git stays in Git

3. Don't commit on master when drunk.

4.Debugging becomes significantly easier if you first admit that you are the problem.

5.Simpler code has less bugs

6.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day. Teach a programmer to debug and he can do his work for a life time.

7.A foreach loop avoided is a CPU cycle earned.

8.Absence is beauty, in error logs.

9.Testing is easier than debugging.

10. The best code is no code at all.

11. Figure out your data structures, and the code will follow.

Nice.
