guiddoti:LoL you wan discourage the guy? He needs some Maths to get busy. If he has such math background he won't be complaining... He needs a head start and basic Mary is more than enough to get things done. He could actually build hundreds of money spinning apps with little maths knowledge... 3 Likes |

Programming is all about problem solving. So it goes with Math hand-in-hand. In general, those that are good in math tend to be more successful in programming. It comes natural to them. Not saying if you are not good in math you can't be successful in this field. However, if you really dislike math/problem solving, I believe you will have a hard time being a programmer. Having said that, the math course that's most relevant is 'Discrete Mathematics'. There is no "real" computer science curriculum that will not include this course. I am telling you - those that come into this field primarily for the money because it pays well, and do not have the affinity for problem solving, tend not to be successful doing it. I have worked with plenty of developers and interviewed quite a number of Junior developers, so I can attest to it. One thing is certain - It pay quite well, and there is not too many of us (blacks) doing it. So if one can face it squarely, it is a good field to go into. electronic: 16 Likes |

@ FrankNetter i read where you said, people over there, don't know much about Africa, that they refer must people from Africa, no matter your country in Africa, they just term you *He is from Africa * i like to know, don't they learn History over there in High school?Atleast get to know African countries by their names. 1 Like |

Bossman:bro thanks for your response. my question for you is what should be the first programming language for a newbie to start with. thanks |
Re: Yankee: through the eyes of a village boy. by Bossman(m): 7:05pm On Jun 17, 2017 |
I would suggest an Objected Oriented language such as Java. However any programming language that teaches the fundamentals of Object Oriented programming would do. Once the fundamentals are mastered, switching to another such language is just a matter of learning the syntax, for the most part. Let's not derail this thread any further. You can post any further questions to the programming forum here. You will get the appropriate responses there. I also pop in there occasionally. abduldope: 3 Likes |

Re: Yankee: through the eyes of a village boy. by Bossman(m): 6:17pm On Jun 19, 2017 |
Suggest as in what? Learning C++ is equally a good idea. As I said already, the key thing is to make sure you have a very good grasp of the fundamentals of computer programming. Again, any specific question regarding programming can be posted in the programming forum. You will get more answers there. jiangchu: |

vickertony: If i can answer this i would say most people over here are just ignorant. Before the internet came they thought we live on trees and all. Imagine this Chinese guy at my school saying "Can i call you Africa?" and i was like "Can i call you asia?". Well you can't blame them,you should blame the media they've painted Africa black and ignored valuable information. The one that makes me mad is when they ask you "can you speak African?" or say "i'd love to travel to Africa" and am like wtf Africa is a continent with 54 countries you need to be more specific. 24 Likes 1 Share |

therealchase:The way you paint it is not the way they mean it. They are referring to the fact that most African countries are very behind. I have seen an American make jokes like, "the energy he has can light the whole of Africa". We are behind and we have to accept it. That's the way we can move forward. |

abduldope: In some high school in developed countries, students can take AutoCad or C++ as options in their curriculum. Any of the two or both are good for starters. |

In Chicago, you cannot park your car anyhow. You risk being issued a ticket, or worse still, your car could be towed. On one occasion, I had parked my jalopy and was about entering a building when one old man who was seated on a rocking chair outside the building beckoned me to come. I contemplated ignoring him and going my way, but I decided against it. On approaching him, he told me to go and park well, that the way I parked at the moment could earn me a $150 ticket. Apparently, you're not supposed to park on the yellow line. That space is reserved for fire trucks in case of emergency (notice the fire hydrant). 20 Likes
