Op this your post ehh... Hmm

I don't want to say much but with all these you have said, you don't know JavaScript

Install Eclipse and get some good tutorials from YouTube.
Feel free to reference stackoverflow or ask questions here when you get stuck

If this is actually not coming too late, there are probably too many ads on the site even more than ads we see in a regular blog. It becomes aweful

You can go for inline ads instead for revenue meanwhile its a great site for Africans

"Buy and Sell Goods And Services etc" is too close to the left, give some margin

Nah, far from that . . thats for when you're writing codes on ur laptop. As part of your learning, you will venture into something called CI/CD. Pls google the full meaning. simply put, its a workflow that allows for continuous integration. I'll give u a case study of our own flow.
We have 6 servers in AWS and they are always online. Once we make an update to github, it automatically pushes itself to AWS but code is not deployed yet, that's only a staging environment. It gives us a unque environment to test and test. When satisfied, we push to production. I like to do it manually, when am bored and here is what i do.
1. log into server via ssh
2. turn on bastion host, and update it to mirror staging environment, which as the latest update..
3. We use nginx as a reverse proxy server . . . google what a reverse proxy is for claririfcation, it might not make sense tho for now
4. Open nginx config and reroute all traffic to bastion host.
5. Do a hot reload. A hot reload will make sure connections are not dropped, cos users are online, but it will switch all users automatically to the new version. You wont even notice.
6. Update main application.
7. Open nginx config again and reroute all traffic to main app
8. Do a hot reload once more.
9. Shut down bastion host and exit out of ssh server.

For our API, its running under PM2 process manager, and we have a flag called "watching" . . which means when there is a change, it will auto build and deploy itself and do a hot reload. It will do exactly the same thing I listed above but this time automatically. Its a very long story and might not make sense now. But trust me, your time will come.

This answer in beyond the scope of the OP. He's absolute and saying all these could even confuse him the more.

Keep it up man, good job.
I notice JavaScript is very far from the site, I think the world of web dev resolve around JavaScript now, do as much as you can to use JavaScript where necessary than using PHP for that.
If you can spend time learning JavaScript itself and not libraries like jquery, it would also help you a lot

I remember back then when I was fully LAMP stack guy only, can't work on any project without using PHP because it was like a cousin to PHP so don't fall into same pit.

Wow 2005, you all waiting to answer his question would even like to learn from him if you should see him now. That's about 15years of Java development experience assuming he didn't started earlier than 2005

The world is so technologically driven that someone with 2years of experience with any programming language can do great stuffs let alone 15years. 5 years is even a monster in the stack

I hope he didn't gave up then

Let's make arguments like this real time on WhatsApp too
https://chat whatsapp com/DRg75NfBai3HmwmGlscAcx

Add dots where there's space. Nairaland bot won't let me post complete link like so

This is arguably the most valuable post I have ever seen on nairaland...
Let me sum this arguments all from my point of view and years of experience.

Stanliwise, DanTheGeek, SegFault and Cixak. You all are good but if I am to rank the points you made haven followed this discussion from start up to this point. From the scale of 1 - 10

Stanliwise scored - 8 points
DanTheGeek scored - 6 points

While SegFault didn't participated in the Argument, he made some more sense along the line.
Finally Cixak comment was inline with DanTheGeeks whose got 2 point less that Stanliwise so....

Now don't prosecute me... The analysis I have given is just from my point of view following the points you made meanwhile, developing a programming language is not the hardest thing to whom ever mentioned or supported this

Case closed!

Najdorf:
Started "pseudo-coding" at 11 with Swift Playgrounds. That was what ignited my passion for programming.

A year later when I was 12 was when I started learning actual programming with Java and python.

11
I don't need to ask you how far you've gone now

The gap between "most streamed today" and "you may like" is too wide

I'm a very terrible observer anyway

vheckthor1:
here at my work place, all request are made with post request, my work place is a financial institution.

This is a very bad practice and can cause some security flaws, meanwhile I won't talk much about this here

As for the POST, I think C#, PHP and JAVASCRIPT are the best tools to learn in Nigeria in terms of job opportunities unlike the US where GOlang and related dominates.

My 2cent

You are just about to write another vulnerable code.
Use PDO instead

stanliwise:
JavaScript
Although I later dumped it for my true love PHP. Don't ask me why

You can't dump JavaScript if you really want to be a web developer. There is almost no power website without complex JavaScript behind it

Anyone here ever built a small web project (e.g blog) with JavaEE, How does it feel?

quote author=abdul4me post=84553027]I discovered programming at the age of 37 in 2012. It all started when a friend taught me how to automate my design works in excel with VBA MACRO, venturing into MACRO opened my eyes to further the studies into Visual basic VB6 and I was able to publish my little works for running on windows that same year. While attending the VB training, I inquire how to reach wider audience with my works, another road was shown into web development.

I gradually learned HTML, Javascript and PHP online. between 2012 and 2013. By 2015, I enrolled for Diploma course in Web Development with NIIT Port Harcourt. And today, am a fulfilled web developer (PHP specifically).

Provided I am able to get what I needed with PHP and Javascript, needless to must learn every-every and thus, dropped further studies into VB and .NET since 2017. But my next take is Python or .NET. looking forward to middle of 2020.

If you never thought of coding, you will be looking at programmers like small gods. until the first day I wrote a functional MACRO, I used to believe that programmers are special kind of people not knowing I can code "HELLO WORLD" in less than 10 minutes class and take off from there.

Cool

CapedBaldy:
finally got my PC. I'm gonna be starting with HTML and CSS then move to php or python

Good plans

I also saved 10k with this site and withdrew15k after 21days, the problem we Nigerians have is lack of trust to online financial services. Make i no lie, i was also scared when i saved the 10k but from what i'm seeing. I might try 20k soon

fnep2smooth:
Started after school..... Was 25 then now am 28..... Started with YouTube and Stack overflow when ever I meet a dead end.
So far I am Master in HTML, CSS, PHP, JAVASCRIPT. Currently learning React , ReactNative, Flutter and Laravel cos I have a dream to travel out someday and this skills are in top demand.


Focus on easy language to help you write your code very short.

For example ReactNative enable you to write your app in Android and iOS at once. This help you to cut cost of employing Android developer and iOS developer. Example Instagram, Facebook Messager.

But Google came out with Flutter... Another monster you just write your code for Android and iOS ( I think also for Destop App) at once which enable developer to write faster code without needs to be switching view in ReactNative or Trying to Re-arrange your code when there is new version of ReactNative.

Follow the trend to eat. and also have your own personal project.. that one is the big jack pot if you succeed.

Nice one bro, keep it up

I have been looking for something like this and wonder why i'm seeing this late.
My ultimate goal in life is ml and ai, started learning html, css, js last year and php, python this year. I have played around with C / C++, Assembly but just for fun. My major challenge in the Robotics field is the resource needed which has delayed my progress as i aimed to might have built my first AI powered App this year. But certainly, that would be next year. If theres any way your organization could assist me to contribute to the world, i will be grateful.

Mods please help this thread.
People really need this

Olamyyde:
I started at 15 but was very lazy. 6 years later, i have average knowledge of python, java and c++ with a little html knowledge.


If i was more disciplined and consistent, i could have learnt 10 languages by now

Learn 10 languages in 4 years
You won't even be able to do great stuffs with any.

MountainView:
16, now 21

This buddy actually started early. Nice

AI will kill you and never get arrested. Even when arrested nothing go still happen. But I'm full fledged AI buddy. I think if some of us here come together and rub mind, we could improve AI in this country by building stuffs. We could start from whatsapp group and create a github repo for sharing code.

A lot of people think they are too old to start programming while others think they are too small when asked to learn to code

The Question is, AT WHAT AGE DID YOU STARTED PROGRAMMING? you could mention your first tech, how it went then and your experience now.

Let's inspire one another

Hey guys, this thread has been created to discuss various techs, pros and cons of the tech, future and lot more.

Speaking on this, i personally started with HTML and CSS years back, got to PHP, then JS => (Reactjs) .

Been coding JS for more than a year and found nodejs better than any php framework because of it single threaded non-blocking i/o calls. Though i'm not very advanced with php and i know php guys here gonna attack me, lol.

2weeks ago, i saw a post on a blog which explains C++ to be the best tech for Robotics/ML, Python as the second and Java was the third.

I have some far knowledge of python, intermediate in C++ and still wonder how C++ is better than Python in Robotics and ML, maybe someone here knows better.

I'm yet to check out Brain.js and tensorflow.js, just to compare them with python ML/AI frameworks and stuffs like openCV.

To save my breathe, nairaland programmers, do tell us your tech too, experience, and why you prefer it over another.
