Please anyone who knows, or is an admin of any Nigerian or even international programming/developers groups should share some(links) love with us so we can meet other programmers ,learn and grow together.

I have been coding in Abuja for a year in nodejs , react, etc and am yet to meet another developer in a similar tech..

Am open to any suggestions..

Thank you

Good afternoon
I'm Victor, new to this platform. Let me just begin like thia if you don't mind.. I got a laptop not the best though at least something small for now, hopefully to get a better laptop.

Sole purpose I got it(laptop) was to able to do some stuffs I suddenly developed interest in, and that is programming and creating websites and the rest like that.. major reason I got the system.
So with that motivation, I started looking for where to learn( based in Benin City)..I found two nice places ..na there I know say difference dey between web design, web development, app development and programming. I got to hear of front-end and back-end development.
The first place I went to teaches web design and development for 100k for full package.
The second place teaches front-end development for 70k and back-end for 110k.
Though I don't have money just following passion..I hope it's not a waste.


To the big developers, please which should I go for?
Please comment for me.Thanks

If you have #10000 to spend on udemy courses for urself o.

For web development:
Go to YouTube learn web development fundamentals

Start with html Css and JavaScript,
For a month.

Next month start vuejs or react
Continue for another month...

Learn how to consume an API , all this you can learn in 3months , then master in years..


For mobile development:
Learn kotlin for beginners.
Then start Android development...
U should be ok not an expert o in like 3 month s


And ur willing to learn with some one ...it's ok then

Point of correction, to be fully Stacked is not a cheap labor, it simple means you are pluggable to fit with the team. I am a full Stack Engineer. I just got an offer with one of the leading financial services provider in Niģeria as a Frontend Engineer (MEAN Stack) while I am also working as a Backend for another. Been a full Stack will increase your chances of grabbing opportunities.

Least I forgot to add this. Anytime I am available to take up a new job and I attend 3 to 4 interviews. I always get 2 to 3 offers.

You can only be cheap as a fullstack engr when you sell on Fiverr.

Cool u do angular..heard it's a nice framework
Will try it soon

The first and last one are fantastic, superb actually..

The e-commerce own is cool but the products are not within the container unless that's the design..

Just a beginners opinion though...

As a self taught developer, who has been learning web development for the last 12 months and hoping to break into the industry , I believe a fullstack developer is someone who knows the whole development process but is very skilled at one area properly

Let's use mern(since it's what am studying) stack for instance

/ = Or
Frontend skills:
Html, Css, JavaScript, typescript

Bootstrap/tailwind as Css frameworks

React/Vue/ angular as spa knowledge

Animation tools like threejs/framermotion

Browser/image optimization

Ssr

Error handling

Mobile responsiveness...

This is a whole lot to know for frontend only

Backend skills:
Nodejs (expressjs/nestjs)

Authorization and authentication

Data sanitization

Clean code

Error handling

Database(postgresql/MySQL/mongodb)

Database relationships /optimization

This is also a lot to learn even as a beginner..

Deployment:
Docker
Heroku/aws etc

This is not only limited to mern stack, laravel/spring boot/.net 6/Django peeps also do it

And then u need to learn data structures and algorithms for interviews ...na wa o


I just feel one needs to learn some of this things on the job

My God help boys in this grind
