Now let's talk about the definition of History. People tend to see history as the story of the past, while others see it as the study of the past itself. We want to explore how historians defined what is history. Many historians have defined the concept of history in different ways that suit their perspectives. But before we delve into the definition, let's take a look at notable historians that have shaped the nature of history.
List of few notable historians

Etymology of History

The word history comes where the Greek word was borrowed into Classical Latin as historia, meaning "investigation, inquiry, research, account, description, written account of past events, writing of history, historical narrative, recorded knowledge of past events, story, narrative". History was borrowed from Latin (possibly via Old Irish or Old Welsh) into Old English as stær ("history, narrative, story"wink, but this word fell out of use in the late Old English period.Meanwhile, as Latin became Old French (and Anglo-Norman), historia developed into forms such as istorie, estoire, and historie, with new developments in the meaning: "account of the events of a person's life (beginning of the 12th century), chronicle, account of events as relevant to a group of people or people in general (1155), dramatic or pictorial representation of historical events (c. 1240), body of knowledge relative to human evolution, science (c. 1265), narrative of real or imaginary events, story (c. 1462)".

It was from Anglo-Norman that history was brought into Middle English, and it has persisted. It appears in the 13th-century Ancrene Wisse, but seems to have become a common word in the late 14th century, with an early attestation appearing in John Gower's Confessio Amantis of the 1390s (VI.1383): In Middle English, the meaning of history was "story" in general. The restriction to the meaning "the branch of knowledge that deals with past events; the formal record or study of past events, esp. human affairs" arose in the mid-15th century. With the Renaissance, older senses of the word were revived, and it was in the Greek sense that Francis Bacon used the term in the late 16th century, when he wrote about natural history. For him, historia was "the knowledge of objects determined by space and time", that sort of knowledge provided by memory (while science was provided by reason, and poetry was provided by fantasy).

Good day to the Tech Gurus.

I'm a salary earner who resides in Lagos. After realising that I'm living from hand to mouth cos my salary is not much, i thought of investing in my self by learning any Tech skill(s). I've chosen to go for cybersecurity and I've started making research of any training centre on mainland.

I came across one in Ikeja, but i want to know if the training fee is okay or it's expensive as the are calling 300k. Mind you, I've not gotten laptop yet and that will take about 200k from me.


We are in the same shoe.
Even the 300k is cheap compared to 640k Aptech is charging.

This is the advice I just got. I should learn programming first, then move to cyber security, because cyber security is not an entry level tech skill. They will need years of experience before they employ you. Even as it is in-demand, they employ anyhow.

I discovered one. Most things they will teach you are on internet including YouTube and Coursera. The only problem is guidelines, in which if you have someone that can help you out, you are good to go



I don't have much with me so I'm trying to see if anyone know how i can get the skill cheaper than this. Thanks

True this

At least you got a plan, and ignore those trying to deter you.
Imagine telling you to start a poultry farm when he/she has no idea how expensive and risky it is, known a few who quit and one who lost about 3 mil worth of eggs during the cash scarcity and NIBSS fiasco

They can't distract me

Have you researched the job market, what skillsets are in high demand at the moment. I know in the US cloud is a big deal and some of the skills needed range from DevOps -installing virtual machines,configuration network environments to supporting customer implementations. There is a lot of automation taking place that quickens the implementation process (mostly with scripts).

I would recommended that you investigate the local job market and use that as a leverage.

cloud commuting is definitely the future,we see more customers moving from onprem to datacentres but am not sure there is the volume in Nigeria at the moment unless you plan to work for a foreign company.

You're right. The truth is that most local companies still underpay those that are in Tech. Imagine paying a UI/UX designer the salary of a graphic designer. That's why I said everything boils down to finance. It's only foreign companies that pay better, and even though you want to work remotely, it's hard to get a dream job as a Nigerian unless move to a developing country.

You haven't even learned how to write proper English, yet you want to learn Cyber security and DevOps. Lol.

Determination and dedication isn't enough to write efficient code and "master" programming languages. You also have to be naturally intelligent and have an aptitude for logic and critical thinking.

Coding is not easy, and the path you want to follow is one of the hardest. If you have no background in computer science, mathematics or engineering, or you've never written a line of code before, then I suggest you go into poultry farming. This is a better use of your time and energy. Don't go and learn something and then few months later you end up giving up.

A word is enough for the wise.

You are right on the first two lines. It's because I'm not from the Anglo-Saxon origin, therefore, you don't expect me to write, read nor speak like His Majesty and his subordinates.

"Determination and Dedication isn't enough to write efficient code..." Sit down and ponder on the rubb.ish you typed as an English literate. Who raised you, that you could not differentiate between singular and plural? I knew that you are a product of t0rn c0nd0m, sooner or later, will display your stvpidity here. Yes, coding needs "natural intelligence, aptitude for logic and critical thinking", but do you have any of the listed?

The word "easy" is always relative and has semantic ambiguity based on individual's thought patterns. Few persons that are learning Cyber Security, which I know neither learned computer science nor mathematics. This shows how deluded your brain is.

I've never written a code does not mean I will not. Poultry farming is a lucrative business, and even those that ventured into had given up at a point.

'A word is enough for the wise'. From where comes the Wisdom? I've finally met the first idiotic being this month.

Seriously, no one's gonna tell OP?

Look OP, the harsh truth about the field you're gonna venture into is no one is gonna hire a Cybersecurity expert or DevOps engineer with only 3 months of training, unless you got years of experience under your belt to show for it.

But if you're determined to learn, forget the noise, no one truly masters a language, and you can pick up math along the way.

When people say you can't learn Cyber Security or Cloud Computing in three months. I agree. I want to use Tech to supplement for Masters, which I believe it will be profitable compared to the latter. Therefore, my Tech skillset is a long term journey, not a three months programme.

I know I will have challenges, most importantly, in finance, but man should not run away from challenges especially if it's worthwhile.

out of curiosity -what is your background and why do you want to do this course --studying cloud computing should technically lead to a job with a hyperscaler (or in a datacenter as a DevOps engineer). Or in a support organization.

Ok, My field is based on Arts and Humanities, which I focus on History and International Studies. I had ambition to proceed for Masters,just like almost of my friends, but I had a second thought. After Masters, wouldn't I be looking for a job which I know will only earn me a meagre salary? That's why I opted for Tech.


I've tried to research on different Tech Skills like UI/UX, Blockchain Technology, Software development, IoT, Data Science, AI and even Product Management. My area of concentration revolves on Cloud. This is the reason I mentioned Cyber Security first. In Cyber Security, it's not that I want to study everything, I want to 'dwell' on Cloud Security, which I was advised to do Cloud Computing to make it more meaningful with a pinch of Big Data (collection of Data).

When people say you can't learn Cyber Security or Cloud Computing in three months. I agree. I want to use Tech to supplement for Masters, which I believe it will be profitable compared to the latter. Therefore, my Tech skillset is a long term journey, not a three months programme.

Thanks.

I would have said you're putting up a challenge on me, but I won't say it cus it doesn't worth responding. Unless Nigerians have not learnt cyber security, that's when I would have been panicking. Writing a code and mastering different programming languages are matters of determination and dedication.

Pro code writers are not on nairaland, so rest

I think you should focus on CLOUD COMPUTING -->you would be introduced to DevOps -which is basically a cloud service, IoT and BigData is also a cloud computing module.

If you want to focus on remote learning then try udemy it seems cheaper and covers all the topics you mentioned

Note that for cloud computing you would cover topics like IAAS,SAAS,PAS and others

https://www.bmc.com/blogs/saas-vs-paas-vs-iaas-whats-the-difference-and-how-to-choose/

You should probably focus on one of the hyperscalers - AZURE,AWS or google. They all have foundational courses to start with.

You should note that Nigeria would probably see traction in the coming years in terms of datacenters and cloud usage. Right now south Africa is getting the new datacenters.



https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230601005736/en/




Since the online courses is cost-effective, I think I should go for it first. At least let me start somewhere.
