Good to see u guys are attempting sumtin even though its pretty small.
Wont it be worthwhile to attempt something more challenging? i see no challenge in doin sumtin as basic as a contact app or whatever u call it that can be done from scratch in 10mins or less using a RAD tool wit mysql or sqlite.
Why not take on sumtin like "Encyclopedia of Nigeria"? It may look big 2 sum people but its going to stretch your skills. remember, he who aims at the sky shoots higher than he who aims at the top of trees.

Anyway, i'm new in this forum and so far in naija, i've developed d fflw apps

lojik = new Array();
lojik[1] = "The Republican"; /*a no installation required cd based game 4 chicken republic's childrens' day promo in 2006*/
lojik[2] = "Inventory Software 4 interwireless 2006";
lojik[3] = "Scriptura 2007"; // Nigeria's 1st comprehensive & commercial bible software
lojik[4] = "Biblica"; //Interactive Bible Software with 2008 Open Heaven daily devotional 4 RCCG
lojik[5] = "I-Path 2008"; //Interactive Pathology Atlas and Examiner (commercial)
lojik[6] = "Mice-Maze 2007"; //Mobile phone game
lojik[7] = "Biblica Mobile phone bible";
lojik[8] = "Royal Funville 2007-2008"; //Interactive educational software 4 kids
lojik[9] = "text Out"; //free commandline text to speech software/utility for programmers
lojik[10] = "Encyclopedia of Nigeria"; //Lost source codes when my hard disk crashed so i dumped it.
lojik[11] = "English Dictionary";
lojik[12] = "Desktop calculator, Mobile phone calculator";
lojik[13] = "lots & lots of others";

I code actionscript in flash/swishmax and enhance it wit appriopriate wrappers. i do vb, php and sum java but i love actionscript.

@lojik:
My favorite is :
lojik[13] = "lots & lots of others";

Too funny. Anyone that gets AS is all good in my book, even though you use swishmax (ugh).
Are you using AS3 yet? and what about flex?

I'll drop you a line. the name is ikezi.

i use AS3 but i dont use it for big projects yet. i'm still far better on AS2.

Hi could u guys give me some training manual on java programming and what ve been your experience so far on java

I know you must be absolutely pissed off by the credits which Nigerian programmers arrogate to themselves, hey, it ain't easy being a pro (forget your quest for excellence and the challenges you seem to be throwing around).
Besides, it ain't easy to go the whole hog, trying to get those qualifications (MCSE, CCNA/P, OCA/OCP), but I think that I know about one or a couple of nerds who can do just about anything (from serial port tricks to graphics progamming using Arena multimedia software). They just do not get the respect and encouragement which they deserve, so much Nigerian indifference, Anyway, you know what? I just told them to learn a foreign language and afterwards try booking an empty container on any sea-bound vessel-for their talents' sakes-how about that?
