So keep ur fingers crossed

I think, Flask will better for me as a starter
I dey enjoy the lecture

dudebuck:
He asked the very same questions I asked in the past, I made a lot of research and landed on JS, never looked back since then, it has been 5 months. Just three months was enough to make my first app. So I have every right to recommend my approach to everyone that asked the same thing. I don't know if Guiddo Van Rossum is your father, looking at the way you are carrying the whole matter on your head like gala.

At OP
JavaScript Rocks for first-time computer programming learners. I highly suggest you do like me, in a short while you can now go back to Python, and Python programming to you will be a breeze. You can even translate the JS apps you will be making into Python language if you wish. Follow my footsteps, you will never regret.
I am telling you the truth. This is from experience.

seunny4lif:
Django or Flask?
I'm a beginner ooooh
I'm follow on CS50 Havard University lecturer on YouTube.
That's guy is fucking good

dudebuck:
I thought you won't reply, just as you said earlier. Abegi disappear! You don't even know the difference between web design and web development, yet you are talking about computer programming. Python is good but JavaScript is better for beginners, especially if you don't have any project in mind, there is nothing you can do with Python that you can't do with Javascript, but JavaScript shortens the progrmming journey, you can now move into ANY other progrmming language including python with A LOT of ease if you have a hang of JavaScript, it doesn't take long to do so.
Python is cool until you run into OOP, but JavaScript is equally an OOP language but with a simpler syntax, if you can do it in JavaScript then python oop will nit be too hard for you.

dudebuck:
Fvck YOU!

dudebuck:
go and sit down abeg, that is how you people fail simple english exam or test.


OP let me repeat myself if you don't have any project in mind, then go to HTML then CSS, two months is enough for you to be well grounded in the two technologies, then after you can move to the progrmming language called JavaScript, it is a lot simpler to learn as a first language, then once you feel that you have gotten a hang of it, your learning another language becomes a breeze, even if the language is called C++(C++ is very complex especially for beginners). Programming in general is one thing, but languages differ a bit in just syntax. For example the for loop syntax in C++ is similar to that of JavaScript apart from some little things here and there. Don't mind people who are telling you otherwise, don't waste time like I did. And it pays to know at least the basics of many IT tecnologies.

Same thing here.. Power here is just 9hours a day.. With 3hours of it brought after midnight, without power..no motivation..


Naija sha

dudebuck:
I did not have any app or project in mind either, but as you follow the video tutorials, you will naturally be bombarded with projects, getting a project is not easy, if you don't have one. You think that HTMl, CSS and JavaScript are web design, that is FAKE NEWS!
HTML is a mark up language
CSS is a styling Language
JavaScript is a programming Language.

You start with HTML so as to get something on the screen immidiately and it gives the passion to continue when programming burn-out occurs, (trust me it will come). Then use CSS to style it, these are all codes that willbe helpful to you, later, then JavaScript will teach you programming. Programming is one thing, while programming languages differ, so if you know JavaScript enough to do something with it, you can move to C++ if you like, it makes it a whole easier end enjoying, web design is not the same a web programming. They are two different things. But you cannot learn JavaScript without HTML and CSS.
JavaScript and CSS are also used to make android app in case you don't know.

Search for some advanced C course's last night.. I was intrigued by one that involves android development with android studio using C.. So that's where I'll be moving next by the Grace of God..

Coding is fun sha, TBH, you can even get little text editor+IDE apps on play store for test running some basic codes..

The one I'm using right now is called Dcoder.. U can do Python as well as many other language's there.. You can find some better apps if you choose

dudebuck:
Bro I can see you don't have any project in mind, look you can learn Python for the next 10 years and still will not be able to make any meaningful app. So please it is for your own good to forget python for now and dive into HTML(two weeks is more than enough for you to learn this one and start creating good web pages), then dive into CSS,(this is a little bit harder so give it one month) and make your web pages look very nice, chic and have some interactivity, then here comes the programming part, JavaScript, this one give it one month to two, just make sure you are practicing always, and make simple web pages, then when you have gotten the basics of it you can even go to C++ if you want. For example for loop in JavaScript is almost the same in C++,just dedicate a full year. Man you will be a hot cake. I for example tried Python since 2011, nothing came of it, I just went straight HTML and now I have some little JavaScript apps I can call mine, after 5 months. The last one is just one stupid app that generates a circle on the screen that follows the mouse or your finger(on mobile) to wherever the mouse goes. Then I modified the code and it became a rudimentary drawing app. So you see, you can achieve a lot if you go bact to the real basics (NOT BASIC). And use YouTube a lot. Combine both theory(books) and practicals (YouTube Videos).

seunny4lif:
Wow
I'm learning Python now, I know the basic of Java and Koltin and was even using them on Android development.
I pause and think i should start with web development first then I can move back to Android.
It's easy to get a job as a web developer without job experience than Android developer without job experience.
I have option btw PHP and Phyton
Python can be use for anything.
That's the reason I choose it

ifex370:
Yeah.. Almost done.. Thing is I studied a computer related course, so I've already learnt some of these things in bits n piece's, but not intrinsically..

However right now.. I think its time to pick a language and be good at it..

Probably before the end of next week, I should be done with the introductory part..and the move to advanced

ifex370:
Men.. I need someone like you to keep ringing this kind of information to my head eh.. Honestly, everyday, I just pray for Gods patience.. Because if I look at mates doing yahoo eh.. Its very tempting oo...

You're right tho.. No company would like to hire a liability,

And yes, that's the idea.. Start with a language and become a master.. Changing language's would js be changing syntaxes but the foundational idea is there already...

By the time I'm done learning C.. I'll look for a problem I can solve with my code.. So when I'm serving I'll have sth to offer..

My initial dream was networking tho.. But I guess this is God trying to make me versatile

ifex370:
same here.. As a matter of fact, I'm about doing clearance sef..

But mehn.. I'm looking for sth that'll be giving me cash oo.. No matter how small..

That your freelance stuff, does it pay?..

I just started this C development cos its a course on my laptop school did not allow me finish well.. I also have other course's on my laptop..which includes python as well as other languages... Only issue is light and motivation.. And money would've been the best motivation

ifex370:
Nah.. More of a C kind of guy.. And yeah, I recently started picking interest in programming as a whole.. I geared towards C only because its significantly the language for most hardware automation device's..

Wow programming as a hobby.. You must have a job that gives you alotta free time

ifex370:
Are you into hardware automation.. Or software development or web database?


I need a mentor.. Where's your locale?

ayangzy:
I am new into python programming language and would like to know the secretes into developing python standalone applications such as results management system for secondary schools, simple calculator, simple games etc. please can some one enlighten me more..

ifex370:
You're right sha.. Everybody has his own beginners code..

Why I said that was because starting with something that is widely accepted and used for a lot of things like Java will make you see the clearer picture faster

ifex370:
For management, you can learn VB na


Python is sth you should go into after learning the rudiments of other programming languages

joinnow:
Op is this the current list or
Archaic list
Cause last time I check
Some of them has been buried already

bnanzip:
Haha. It seems you are new to this. First of all do not expect much for now please. You are just starting out, it may take time before you start seeing results of what you added.

Secondly, It will take roughly 6 months for your blog to star getting organic traffic (search engine traffic- either google or yahoo/bing)
Thirdly, make sure you add a site map to your Webmasters Console in your google account.
Fourth, you have to write something completely differently. (There are people that copy one line of text from one blog and another sentence from another blog and join them and thinks it is unique.) That is pure foolishness. If you doing it, you will not get one single traffic.
Fifth, Write on things that are not common.

There are so many things you need to do but the important is writing something no one has written on.
I hope this helps.
