Nah.....this even shows that he is very interested, I personally know someone that learnt python using his android tablet.....though he installed debian on it

Okay, maybe I am just an oldschool guy. But I must say, if you really want to learn programming, you should get a laptop.

Dent:


I did, nothing of such any where in my mail. They sent just d acknowledgement message and the plum test which I took already.

Like luwins advised, you can read the homestudy test www.andela.github.io/homestudy

Dent:
I heard there is a whatsapp group, kindly add me up please, ...

You've been added, you should take your number off here.

pitchperfect:

@Dent, I don't a think a convincing cover letter is necessary.

Dent:
please help, I'm confused about this Andela, I applied for it, got my response, but was only sent the plum test and nothing else since then. it's been over two weeks, should I still wait or I've missed a mail.

Check your junk/spam folder.

telldaddy:

You don't have to bow out bro. You can apply for the spring class, application is currently on: http://apply.andela.co

Congrats to all those that made, and for those that didn't make it, you can always re-apply. It is a continuous cycle all year round.

The first sign that you are interested in learning programming is having a laptop. Don't ask me how you are going to get one.

Good Morning Nigeria,

Without having to convince anyone on this it would be naturally perceived that this topic is a very serious and crucial one that will be needing careful observation while shedding more light on it .

Today, there is this drive that compels youths to go to school and be educated – they want to be successful people tomorrow so that they can also contribute to the success progress of the society . Getting a white collar job after graduating from school is like forcing a horse to the stream and forcing it to drink water because the demand for white collar jobs are on the high side rendering the chances of securing this jobs very narrow .

Most graduates wants to work in the oil companies because they have already concluded that they can’t make it anywhere else which is very naive and often speculated by prats – sorry to have used that adjective .

The lingering fact that there are greener pastures in the oil world can’t be swept under the carpet but don’t let this illusion blind your ability to tap into other opportunities that comes your way because they barely come by these days .

As a vibrant graduate with a beautiful and impressing certificate , don’t just continue to build your career wall around Oil and Gas companies as there are other big companies that need your managerial expertise . As a partial fulfillment of this expository and educative post i will be listing the Top 13 Highest Paying Companies In Nigeria 2016 and we remain valid even in 2016 and for years to come .

Highest Paying Companies In NIgeria = Consider Working There

1. Dangote Company (FCMG)
2. NNPC (Oil and Gas)
3. Shell (Oil and Gas)
4. Chevron (Oil and Gas)

And where did you get your data from?

codemarshal08:
i will advice you try to solve them yourself first. You won't learn anything if you keep dropping it here.
Feel free to ask for help when you get stuck.

Okay, thanks. And for your swift response, thanks again.

codemarshal08:


Ok. Check this Out. Some PHP gurus here might have a better solution for you.

<?php
$arrayOfNames = array("Imafidon Emmanuel", "Osas Omon", "Victor ekon", "Abu aliyu" ); // Creates an array of names
array_push($arrayOfNames, "grace owoh" ); // adds "grace owoh" to the end of the array
sort($arrayOfNames); // sort the array
$randomName = $arrayOfNames[rand(0, count($arrayOfNames)-1)]; // rand takes lower and upper limits
echo strtoupper($randomName); // output in uppercase

?>

Bro it worked like magic. Hope you guys don't mind if I drop in some more problem when I get stucked?

KidKhalif:
If you know how to play around well with screen size css dynamism codes, you could still go with the sketch & wire frame - photoshop - css. I like that though because i can churn out great visual designs which transforms to a better website design too.

Guys please if you have any tutorial on how to turn my psd files into codes for website, please I will like to know the procedure.

codemarshal08:


Bro show some codes and Point Where you are stuck !

<?php
$fam = array("Steve", "John", "Madu", "Cynthia" );

?>

That is all I got

I've always wanted to know, Is codeacademy free?

It has free version and premium version.

So I have been using codecademy lately to study programming. And things have been going fine but now I am stucked. Please PHP guys I need your help to solve this problem.

"Create an array() with the names of your closest family and friends. The more names in your array, the more fun your game will be!

After you've created your list, sort it and randomly select a name from the list.

When you have your winning name, print it to the screen in caps so everyone knows how awesome the winner is.

Functions we'll use here: array(), array_push(), sort(), count(), rand(), and strtoupper(). Play around with some of the other functions you've learned as well."

I totally agree with you boss. IT (especially the fields you have mentioned above) is the next big thing. Facebook 2014 revenue was over $12.5bn, and google a massive $66bn, that is more than what NNPC makes.

Lol

I no go d conference myself o.

Rami Sayer - the "putter" of the article did

Okay boss. Nice write up anyway.

Hi guys, has any of you registered for the Andela Spring Class yet? If yes what language is used in the Home Study Curriculum?

It is the same curriculum.

So what is stopping me from using google, which offers better service?

miraakas123:

fake? i have been programming from jss3 that is 12yrs ago so it has become part of me and i do it with passion and not really for money.

currently am working a mathematics software which will be able to pay every citizen of Nigeria N8,000 every week i.e N2m+ every as a merit for being a Nigeria. i intend submitting it to CBN. all for passion and not for business.

Bro, come on, that price is too low. My service fee for doing a basic CMS website is 30k. That is a 2 days (16hrs) job with almost no coding involve. I charge more for a "real" website, I mean way more (and I use template, yes). And trust me, I am a newbie, by that I mean less than 5 months experience. First, I don't like the way you advertised yourself. It makes you look desperate. Then when I think things can't get more ugly, you put up a price tag for the app, not even your SC (which in my own opinion is less than low). Brother no matter the skill you have (or think you have), you must know how to sell yourself.

I salute all you web developers and app developers in the house.

JavaScript Frameworks, Library and Tools

React
React is this year’s favorite JavaScript project! Everyone seems to
be talking about ReactJS. Every conference I have been to in the
last year had at least a couple of talks on React and other libraries
in the same family ( Flux , Redux ) React is open-source and
developed mostly by Facebook with contributions from other major
tech companies.

Please don't forget to invite for the next conference you will be attending.
