ProgrammingRe: What Are The Best Laptops For Programmers And Hackers?! by Thirdwrist(m): 6:19am On Feb 16, 2016
ovoSoftware:
for programming I would go for macbook pro.....BUT WHY.....welll because
1. the best software for web development exits on OS X eg TextMate and more....it is believed that the best developers are on macs so they built the best tools on macs

2. windows is considered to be slow, complex and unreliable in comparison to OS X

3.Mac OS X is the only platform that allows you to develop for any platform - web, Microsoft windows (bootcamp), iOS , Mac, Unix and Linux

NOTE : the above writeup is subjective
You are cracking my ribs brother, I don't think there is anything like a programming laptop, anyone you can get your hands on will do. And your myth of only Mac being able to program on all languages is so false, my best guess is that you are an apple fan boy.
ProgrammingCoding From Scratch Or Using Bootstrap, which way? by Thirdwrist(op):
Which is the best way to keep learning, is it by coding html, CSS and Javascript from scratch or just using bootstrap, which is more beneficial for a newbie. I do html Javascript CSS and PHP. From scratch is too time consuming and gives me less time to focus on the back end.

i ain't comparing... just trying to tell you that you shouldn't prosecute other for liking artiste that don't sing or entertain in your preferred style...
for example you don't like olamide ..so don't look down on people that likes his music... people choices are differentundecided
You still don't get it do you? When you talk preference, you say : I like Olumide and not Phyno or I like Wizkid and not Davido. But how can you say I prefer Borno to Dubia, Thats insane. Asa is a far cry compared to all your touts that call themselves musicians here.

please I learnt mysql and nt mysqli, shld i go bk to learn mysqli nd nt practice with mysql cux it seems me knowing d mysql is waste
Before you get confused and start crying, just build a blog like the person above said. The best way to learn is by practice and learning a new skill when it is required, don't just pack your head with theories and no practical. Leave MVC and OOP now. I believe you learnt procedural PHP, after doing whatever you decide to do, then make the jump to OOP and what ever that MVC means. Do make the jump to OOP it can not be over emphasized.

ProgrammingHelp. Mysql Function Returning Booleans Instead Of Resourse by Thirdwrist(op): 5:26pm On Jan 21, 2016
I have bee learning PHP for some time now, and covered a little ground in it. But all that has been in procedual style. So I decided to delve into OOP it being the most secure of both and more organized. Here is my problem:
<?php
class connect{
public $db_host= "localhost";
public $username="";
public $password= "";
public $db_name="";
public $dbc;
function db_connect(){
try{
$this->dbc= new PDO("mysql:host=$this->db_host; dbname=$this->db_name", $this->username, $this->password);
mysql_select_db($this->db_name);
}
catch (PDOException $e){
echo "failed to connect to database pdo ";
echo $e->getmessage();
exit();
}
return $this->dbc;
}
public $sql, $row, $result;
public function tester(){
if(mysql_connect())
{
$this->result=mysql_query("SELECT email FROM users WHERE id =1"wink;
$this->row=mysql_fetch_row($this->result);
$this->sql=$this->row['email'];
}
else{
$this->sql= "bah quannection";
}
return $this->sql;
}
}
$connection = new connect();
$connection->db_connect();
echo "you are an OOP genius";
$connection->tester();
echo $connection->sql;
?>
and it keeps outputting " you are an OOP genius
Warning: mysql_fetch_row() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\xampp\htdocs\Experiments\gstosa\index.php on line 29
WebmastersRe: Court Of Appeal Website Hacked After Shiites' Killing by Thirdwrist(m): 2:01pm On Dec 18, 2015
Just email addresses

By the way those sites are just to satisfy protocols, everything is done in paper over there or offline database, so this almost useless, just like the hack of INEC website earlier this year...

ProgrammingHow Do I Access Restricted Sites? by Thirdwrist(op): 12:56pm On Dec 18, 2015
I want to bypass a restriction on a government router, I am accessing the wifi but it won't allow me to access social media (Facebook). How do I change that without using Tor? I have changed my DNS, IP and the rest but to no effect...

It says
"This site is currently restricted under the Acceptable Use policy for the Government Network. If you require more information, please contact galaxy backbone service desk on 09-4621544 0r send an email to servicedesk@galaxybackbone.com.ng.

ProgrammingShould I keep on writing codes and seeking admission at the same time? by Thirdwrist(op):
I am 20 yrs old, and currently seeking admission into the university, I wrote JAMB this year and PUTME and admission is not forth coming. I have met some many JAMBites that told me they spent 3-4 years at home waiting to enter the university. I worked as a marketer for a tech teaching institute but I had to give that up (or I was forced to give that up my guardians).
I have faith and I am working towards getting admission by next year, but now I have learned not to put all my efforts and time in preparing for JAMB, during the day time I read for JAMB, and around 1-4:30am I am awake practicing/learning PHP & MYSQL. The question is : is this right? some many of my friends and older ones have told me to relent and focus squarely on JAMB and get admission then start the computer ish. But I don't see reason in this, programming is too beautiful a temptation to avoid. Advice please...
