so it's averagely impossible? Even with staying dedicated to between 10-15hr per day tutorial?

it's not the amount of time, but what you gain. beside nobody do 10-15hrs for 6month, you can clear my doubt though

To get a job in 6 months means you have a special mentor or oil dey your head.

React and DSA
Already learnt the basics of JavaScript, the book am reading on JS is just for understanding mostly OOP concepts in JS.

Carry on bro, you're doing well!

You can reach out if your budget is a sizable. I'm experience in building and consuming restful APIs(python django). I use react to render from layers.

AlchemyOfCodes:
hey guys please help. i have been getting this error since yesterday while creating react app. i have tried everything possible. checked stack overflow and all of that, but nothing is working. The version of my node js is v17.3.0.

Ensure you have a very strong network connection for create react app. by the way are you learning JavaScript, DSA or react?

The same way you would ask, is 40 years old too old to become a Medical Doctor? or is 40 year old too old to become a footballer? well if you have the mental capability, fitness among others why not? it's not same question as 40 years too old to live? has some one said up. as any one can die at any age.

Nothing is easy, we just gat to push

Nice one. Hope the install won't downloads from online as if "installing" a new React app?!

it is faster

longlife101:
I've thought of doing this. Any documentation to get up to speed on this, or will you be kind to explain the steps?

1. You could create react app manually without using npm, yarn

2. what you ask!
*Copy public, src and packagedotjson of existing app
* change app name inside packagejson
*go to your terminal inside your project directory(containing packagjson) and run > npm install or yarn install to install require packages

Nb: You will not get other files like service workers, logo etc that npx create react app gives you

longlife101:
Guys, on many occasions when using my system, it takes between 12 to 15 minutes (yes I time them) to generate a fresh React-app, is this ideal, or just my system, or network?

Most likely network. you can copy exist app, change it name and configure module

jesmond3945:
you mean todo app?
Companies know people are self taught but they prefer commercial experience. They prefer that you learnt from working on the job and not through self learning or pleasure. Because you are able to meet deadlines. Start by freelancing or volunteer. Also do you have api experience like graphql and rest, can you do webpack and microservices. Do you have agile sw experience, do you have aws or azure experience? Do you postgre experience, can you use docker or kubernetes containers?

Most time, the aforementioned are the real experience needed. knowing a programming language and building websites with it is not just enough.

jbreezy:
Hmmm great response as I must say. And oh yeah, I'm quite vast with python too cos I learned data structures and algorithm with it. Thanks.

As a frontend dev you would be working with data from the backend, knowledge of how d backend is structure is an added advantage. since you have knowledge of python, why not pick up web framework flask of django.

portfolio website != portfolio projects

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

freddie009:
I'm on it already.

Good to know!

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

freddie009:
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.
