Thats always their argument, that it's reuseable, well there is a way you can code in procedural that will cater for that, the only reason I like oop is the intimidating looks it gives that's all

and again OOP got class i mean it is the paradigm that is mostly respected, Intimidating? YES!

tosinhtml:
Well, i guess you shouldn't believe everything you read online.

2. For your info, people are talented in programming. In the same way that some people are 'born with a talent for basketball' because traits like height have a heritable component.

According to the theory of multiple intelligences, some people are 'born with a higher IQ'.

If you think that people like Linus Torvalds, James Gosling or Bjarne Stroustrup have the same IQ as normal person, then you must be joking.


3. Programming won't become the most common of all, programming is hard and stressful for a lot of people, If you gather 30 people in a class and teach them programming for 1 year, i bet you, only 5 will actually learn it and continue as a career. 25 people will stop by the way and go and do something else. I am talking from experience.


5. Whether you have built a sizeable project or not, you can still program, I clearly know of someone that only did Coding challenges and Algorithms, and he was so good. He never wrote any full sizeable project, And he his an intern in facebook now. he writes C++.

Its actually hard to become a facebook intern, its like real work. You will go thru the same interview process.

Okay, I get it... thanks.

Its now I believe what they say about this NL programming section. Many of you just know how to talk that's all. Procedural or OOp doesn't change anything about the program. There is no better way to right a code,am saying this because have seen the two sides, some times we just code in a pattern because it's trending and not because its better

Haba Bros, when you write OOP code... you can reuse it, do more with less code. e.g creating a class that needs some properties where it is already somewhere, you just INHERIT the parent class, OOP code is also modular than pp. polymorphism where you treat objects in several forms, etc. this are my reason for saying that.

Php as a whole is not secured, neither is it a language i would advise any to learn, i thank God i had a good tutor nd experienced programmers arround me that told me the truth. if u want to end as an average web programmer, stick to php, otherwise get out of that zone it has never helped and would'nt help...!

I totally agree with this... I've ported to Java Server Pages already.

Thomas Cormen is the name, his book "Algorithm Unlocked" and "Introduction to Algorithm" he co-authored will help you

thanks I'll get a copy and increase upon the length of my linked-list and push to my stack more ideas.... thank you I'll get the pdf. May God see us through.

Raypawer:
What made you think that self taught programmers might not want to learn data structures? its wat we call Passion for Excellence. if you are self taught, its a show of passion, but the passion is questionable, was it for real or was it just for money? if it was for real you will care about Continious Delivery of Excellent Sustainable apps as data structures can't be ignored...

Am talking of the majority please.

oluwadaemilola:
thanks for sharing this with us

Raypawer:
i totally disagree with number 3, you can say average or php programmers flod the market, as you would hardly find those that can write a program that can speak to hardware like thumb print scanner, face recognition app, gate opener, not to even talk of SAP ERP, IOT, Embeded systems, etc Thats why it is said that come 2o2o there will be more one million job opportunity for good developers in america, even right now in nigeria, if ur good, u cant stay idle or have only one project at hand, and with time it will not get better as many other sectors are getting automated, it calls for more programmers.

As people who call themselves developers are increasing, number of good ones are almost not increasing at all... to be a standard developer requires time and commitment, which people don't want to sacrifice... they make unripe developers, that is why number of hackable sites are booming :-D , blv me php (the simplest prog lng i've seen), don draw plenty ppl to himself. sincerely i only respect OOP php developers procedural is old fashioned. but procedural programmers are everywhere. programmers are increasing :-D

Fulaman198:
I'd argue that becoming a computer scientist (which does not equate to a programmer mind you) is just as complicated as becoming a lawyer or doctor. You need to have a good understanding of Data Structures and Algorithms and be able to be a good problem solver.

Anyone can pick up a programming book and learn how to programme. But not everyone is able to formulate new Algorithms to solve difficult problems. An example of this is the complexity of Google's search engine in which it incorporates a lot of predictive text or the highly advanced and innovative Google Maps.

Companies like Google and Apple understand the difference between a Computer Scientist and a Programmer and often only recruit those with B.S./M.S./ or Ph.D in Computer Science/Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering from schools with strong programmes.

If you want to know what I mean by being a good Computer scientist, look up Esdger Dijkstra. He formulated the shortest path algorithm often used in various fields of computing science from Computer Networking and to the GPS system in your car.

TRUE, knowing data structures really helps and a self-taught programmer dont care about those theories, take an instance; a memory programming project might be implemented using java by a self taught programmer who has no "know-how" of data structures but C++ will do because of the pointer feature, or still a software agent project may be implemented using C++ which has no agent support and java has, teaching your self code is not enough but knowing the industry best practices is the thing to do... computer scienctist hav an more knowledge about device infrastructure, software engineering concept, user experience, etc. that gives them a bigger value than those that kmows only code... i agree with u on that.

review my site Sir

This is not cheap at all ooo

To get started quickly in front-end development, you just need to start quickly. If you have no experience at all, then you’re going to want to land on your feet and start learning HTML and CSS immediately. These are the foundations of all websites. After you have a good understanding of these languages (and I’ll be honest, a “know a little about a lot” mindset will probably be good to start) you need to move on to JavaScript. JS is what makes your website exciting. Once you have a general hold on these three languages, you need to make sure you can go further in depth with them. You never want to stop learning. I used to try learning one new thing each day (now, I try for two or three things per week) and mastering it.

Your best friend here is going to be practice. Not only will practicing help you see what you’re code is turning into (think browser preview), but you will also be building projects that can be put into a portfolio (assuming you’re looking to get into the field to find a job).

Once you have a pretty good mastery of HTML/CSS/JS and are ready to go even further, you will want to look at Haml and Jade for HTML, Sass and Less for CSS and jQuery and Node.js for JS. These will really expand what you’re able to do. Next up would be frameworks, like Bootstrap or Foundations. These will help you build sites quicker, and with more uniformity.

Never despise the days of small beginning :-)

Nice piece

Thank you very much.

People Usually see Programmers as super humans with special powers to command computers. But this is not true, as every person grows in his profession through practice the same applies to a computer programmer, [Read more...] they are just people who know how to speak to computers and nothing more, But wait, let us see the ten things a programmers wants a non-programmer to know about them.


0. Programmers start counting from zero .
1. Becoming a doctor or lawyer is incredibly complicated and involves going through whole sets of regulatory gatekeepers. Programming has none of that.
2. No one is naturally talented at programming. The next time someone claims that programming is in their DNA, ask them, "What did your ancestors encounter on the savannah that gave them this very specific genetic adaptation?"
3. Programming is one of the most common jobs people have these days, and soon it will be the most common job of all.
4. A programmer is not a technician. While usually being a programmer does come with a lot of "computer knowledge", A programmer don’t know what's wrong with your printer or how to make beautiful alignments with Microsoft Word.
5. If you haven't built a sizeable project, you can't program. If you say 'I've learned programming, but can't make a program', then you haven't learned programming. The only measure of programming is the ability to make programs.
6. Very little of programming is coding. Most of the time is spent thinking, walking around, googling and talking to people to figure out the solution to a problem
7. More often than not, the difference between a good and mediocre programmer is not intelligence but practice and persistence
8. If you learn programming, it doesn't mean you can hack into people's emails and create viruses.
9. The visible part of an application is only the tip of the iceberg
10. It can be bad for your health if you're not careful (programmers sit a lot, they stare at a glowing screen all day, they type a lot). But it does retain a healthy brain because they're always solving problems.

Good info, thanks but the rice no go bad na

Well, I no know oooooo.

Sometimes the unfortunate happens as you watch your dear phone slip from your hands into water (Sink or probably Toilet bowl). Oh! it is over you may think, the phone is dead and I must get another one.
No, don’t condemn it just yet, there is a way-out that will make you think your phone never fell in any water at the first place, this is the best way to dry a wet phone, how? because you can do it at home. The uncooked rice method of drying wet phones has proven to be a very good approach in fully restoring most cases of wet phones.
what you do is, get a bowl and fill it with uncooked rice and place the phone in it, people may ask “how long should i leave/keep my phone in rice”, it usually takes 72 hours (3 days) for the phone to be dried and restored, you get double value for your rice, Dry the phone and cook the meal. But wait, if the Rice absorbed the water from the toilet bowl, will you still cook that? ewww! lol.

Now you have no cause to worry because you know how to dry a wet phone, the easiest way.

Cool... Its time to hide all my personal folders.

hehehe... Even your PC need some privacy

the week under review saw some great happenings in the tech world, Google v Oracle in battle for android, Xiaomi's shock announcement of Drone market competition, Microsoft and Facebook's plan to build a subsea cable in the Atlantic...

Google versus Oracle: the case that lasted for years finally came to a close where the jury found that Google’s implementation of 37 Java APIs in Android is qualified as fair use. However, we are expecting an appeal as the Oracle attorneys made known.

Xiaomi announced their presence in the the popular drone space by unveiling two “Mi drones” at competitive prices $457 for the one with 4k video Cam and $381 for 1080p HD camera.

Microsoft and Facebook are collaboratively planning to build a subsea cable through the Atlantic, the subsea cable will feature eight fiber-optic pairs and will connect Virginia, the US with Bilbao, Spain.

HOW TO CREATE AN INVISIBLE FOLDER WITHOUT A NAME FOR KEEPING PRIVATE FILES.


(This will work for only those PCs that have a Numeric Pad on their keyboard). In this post we’ll see how to create an invisible folder without a name for keeping private files, let’s get started.

Step 1: Create a New Folder.

Step 2: Click to select the folder, press F2. The name of the folder will become editable.

Step 3: Press Delete. The text will get cleared.

Step 4: Press ALT with your left hand (hold it down and do not release it) and with your right hand type 255 using the Numeric pad of your keyboard, release the ALT key and press Enter.

Now you have created a folder without a name.

Step 5: Now To make your nameless folder Invisible, you need to assign it a invisible icon. Here is how to do it. Right click on the nameless folder and choose Properties.

Step 6: From Customize tab, click on “Change Icon” button.

Step 7: scroll a little to the right side to find this empty space. It’s not empty. there is a invisible icon there. click the red marked area, and you will be able to select the invisible icon. Click OK to set the icon.

Now you have created an invisible folder without a name for keeping private files. You can only see it if you know it’s position. clicking on the area will give you the Blank selection rectangle. If you click some where else it will turn invisible again.

You called a website or blog? There is more to website than that my brother. That is a blog.

GOD bless you brother, when they need Dynamic sites with complex data mining Algorithms nobody will do for free for them... No wordpress, No blogger, no weebly, nobody.

hmmmmm... victory is declared only at the end of a battle

this assets go cause trouble o

its better that it was done in a hurry, before he starts getting the respect that is bigger than his original status... Naija politics kam!

kudos to our restless VP

for this declaration i see his confidence... someone with N10Bn will not have the confidence to publicize.
