If you want to gain a good knowledge of programming you can't dodge basic mathematics. math logic is always needed in programming, and some concepts of programming are purely base off mathematics. If you want to learn programming you must start falling in love with mathematics. you can always read along.

Stop wasting your time looking for someone to build a website for. django itself is high demand. be patient, learn it very well(MVT, testing, auth, db, orm, drf, email ...) brush up your python, pick up a frontend language, build more project, shine your github and apply for remote work

I'm on it already.

Good to know!

Give him more time lol. next time try interview if his done something similar.

Same here, I regretted not going in for medicine. I switch to engineering after my first jamb instead of doing a pre-degree which most of my friends did to study medicine. Now, they are all doing well and married with kids. I pitied my parents funny enough basic in uniport was just 20k. I have never worked with an engineering degree 10 years after graduation with a master's included.

And I will regret the rest of my life if I don't give the Ph.D. route to the US a try. So, here I am saving every penny I have no relationship, no friends; all my buddies have moved on.

Is a lonely road out here bro.

Why not give IT a shot!

Exercise regularly, this will help reduce your sugar level and keep your organs fit

Stay on one language and stop jumping around. Build as many project as you can and be comfortable with the language before going to another

bro.....abeg what do you have against data analytics.......

IT field is generally lucrative. what he has against DS should not deter you from going into it. it's different domain with different requirements. However some of the important things you should check when going into an IT field include; opportunities, job demands, pay, passion, career growth etc. research more!

the way to learn any programming language is focus and determination. since you have set a target for your self, just follow it keenly. one of best time to learn programming is when you're not hoping 4 immediate reward.

I don't cram codes, how many codes will I have to cram? I just take note of basic concepts and put some understanding to the implementations

Do intensive search and weight your options. your decisions would be influenced by; how easy or hard, what inspires you, time it takes, ease of getting job, dedication, commitment etc

Coder/Programmer/Web developer/web designer all boil down to same thing. web designing may not involve programming.

Before you start learning anything, you should answer the question 'what can I do with this thing?' Well as 4 Python you could use it for several thing eg
Data analysis, AI and machine learning, Web development, Game development etc.
HTML is the basic of web development.
as a python dev, would say learning both is a must, regardless which you choose to learn first.

This thread is inspired by the programming diary created by MirthOsas.

I am relatively new to programming. I started learning web development (started with HTML on W3school) in 2018 but my freelancing and ecommerce business could not let me focus coupled with the fact that I found it boring then.

Since this year, I have been nursing the idea of getting into Tech.

I wanted Data science but my mind kept telling me "web development".

Good move, take break and learn the basics of git, and start pushing your project to github. don't waste much time on HTML and css.

For starters it would start on a state basis. Some states have more high-end chefs than others(Lagos and Abuja for example). But ultimately Nigeria. And I get the part about being skeptical about eating from random strangers, so there would be some measures put in place. First of all the social media aspect of the app allows you to know the chef you’re ordering from on a semi-personal level. Also it would be high end meals only, not the regular meal you can get easily almost anywhere. And as a chef there would be a screening process, and also a probation period. Also it’s not just only chefs, branded restaurants are also welcome as well. Like I said this is just an MVP, there’s still opportunity to reiterate and pivot and flesh out the idea some more.

And I checked out the mealpal too, they support restaurants only, right? So they kinda act like a third party that connects restaurants and customers.

I guess the next step is design and implementation

My email is included in the thread. Feel free to send me an email so you can be added to the Slack channel for the product.

I'm busy this time, but you could still add me to the channel if you want. email sent.

This is a nice idea backup with good steps. I'd like to known if these would cover the whole of 9ja?. Though people can be sensitive to eating from random/ unknown source. Would probably be better to have a branded restaurants and market it online. Op check out Mealpal. com, a meal subscription start-up in New York that has gain more than $30million fund.

There are many things one can do to make money. do whatever you're comfortable with. be hardworking, consistent and pray for favor

Lindner:


Sure.

Most tasks have a deadline and other devs depend on your output as well.

wow good to know

Grandlord:


True.

Many companies don't do whiteboard interviews. It's straight up project-based.

I think there's a subreddit where companies in that category are listed.

Actually what I notice myself this days, is project based interview (within a time frame)

Lindner:



Unfortunately, going by the feedbacks on this thread, a lot of people don't give a damn about it. Most of the applications i sent out without getting a response from recruiters was when I had scanty github contributions.

Thank God for mentors, it changed dramatically. I didn't know there was something called job application package specific to software development roles.

1. Completed github profile with solid contributions (Open source projects inclusive). With links to your email, portfolio, linkedin e.t.c)

2. Professional linkedin profile. Also tailored and well crafted for software development.

3. Resume (Tailored for software development roles).
4. Cover letter (Needless to say it should be tailored to a particular role).
5. I even built a solid Angelist profile.
6. Stackoverflow profile.

"Miraculously", these changed the game for me and saved me from blindly applying to jobs without getting any response. Since then, I've worked at multiple projects and orgs (only US orgs).

Plus my experience, now I get an average of four unsolicited invitatitions from head hunters per month.

The reason for this shalaye is that technical knowledge is not enough. Sadly.

Your points are valid. I had an interview last week, and was asked why my github didn't match my years of experience, lol I had to pause. since then I stop applying and now focus on updating my github.

Lindner:


Is this THE SEUN?

Does not necessarily mean everyone on this thread is looking for work though.

Most times I'm on nairaland when I feel like throwing my system through the window or smashing it against the wall out of frustration. Like right now. 15 minutes task has turned to 4 days of bugs from hell.

as a working dev, do you get a fixed time to complete a task?

Nice project. your search box is not working, also on mobile should be smaller or show it with toggle.

Sheriman:
I hope so because this is impossible to hear. 10 years of coding no be small thing. That person must have really understand a lot of things on the programming language he is writing such as tools library and framework.

He has indeed learnt alot, don't 4get he went back to sch during this period.

The "this" keyword belongs to the Profile Object you define not the function. and Profile Object doesn't have any property call "age"

you can do it as @TinubufirstBorn did. see below

Some people took it upon them self to keep spamming this page. including that guy posting survey up n down

What inspires you to want to learn programming? From your write up, seems you don't known what you want.

I'd advice you to quit to fulfill your dream, but make sure you have enough savings to carry you along. note that it may take you long to get a programming job

tosinhtml:


I don't know who is advising you but your love for a particular field alone doesn't justify you going to that field. You have to make sure there are also opportunities before you choose where to focus.

Have you ever browsed LinkedIn jobs or any where and you saw influx of Data science jobs? Or is it sand that you want to be eating after learning data science? Have you ever asked yourself why and how do companies recruit for data science roles?

This is the same reason people choose foolish courses in the University like Sociology or Biz Admin because they like it or their friends told them to do it without any research from their own end.

You will finish learning this data science now and start crying all over NL for jobs. You berra use your head.

lol you sound too harsh though
