Saw d game. It looked nice! Unity must b worth d rave it's getting. Got any experience with other engines? Unreal etc? |

Kvngfrosh:computer science is not about programming. It's about computation. The science of computation. What is computable and what is not. What is the most efficient way to perform a computation etc. You will study algorithms- the tools used in computation. Compilers os etc. It is math intensive. It's not about programming languages . Your father's statemnt stems from the misconception ppl hav about cs because of the word computer in it. In a good cs program,u'll learn lots of maths in some poor programs it mayb more of practicals nd less theory. |

zcnox:this your adverts sef! You forgot to include machine learning and ai expertise. Es6 is javascript. Html5 is html. What u really need are: 1 mobile developer 2 web devs 1 graphics designer 1 ux expert range: 2 - 5 employees. 1 web dev handles front end, the other back-end. Or alternatively, employ 1 full-stack dev. 1 graphics experts: builds all d graphics tools your web n mobile devs will use. Some web devs r good with graphics but just get a good graphics don. Advise: on a tight budget, get 3 employees: 1 mobile dev. 1 full stack dev. 1 graphics designer. 1 Like |

Akalia:arent most popular languages general purpose? Besides,if by open,you mean open-source , how many novices inspect the source codes of the languages they use? What percentage programmers even do this? |

The watchtower has an anti government stand. It doesnt recognize human governments. It's members sing no national anthems nor say pledges nor salute flags. They believe they r serving God. Inspite of copious clear categorical scriptures to the contrary. Issue is the glaring illogicality behind such stances! Do jws expect the governmnts they hate to protect them? Do they expect the soldiers fighting for the govt to lay down their lives for the integrity of their country so that jws could go about their daily businesses in peace? Do jws receive salaries from this govts? Govts r one of the highest/highest employers of labour. Would a christian take a paycheck from the devil? Do jws receive pensions from this devilish govts they dont recognize? Do enjoy the largesse of good governance and administration e.g good roads, free nd affordable health care/education/housing etc . Do jws want all these good things in life yet refuse to vote for ppl who could enact such changes? Do jws think? Anythinking person can see that it is hogwash to espouse such an illogical/hypocritical nd contradictory teaching. |

any1 can learn how to program without d aid of a personal teacher. The information to do so publicly available. If u dont like self teaching, try other alternatives! |

SilverG33k:ok,the link was in d first post as plain text. I missed it. So ... How do i install it after downloading d raw apk? You shouldav just put d stuff on playstore. Playstore=genuine apk=android, subconsciously in most ppls minds. Just like google=search. |

SilverG33k:tried to download d source on github, didnt work? Y not put d app on playstore? Easy to download n install. |

sparkle7:i hav some problem with this view. I think while people hav certain inborn gifts nd talents,the talents arent ,in most cases, for specific fields. E.g if u find chemistry utterly repulsive, have u tried to study it for a looong time inspite of d repulsion then measure your proficiency afterwards? Say,u decide to grok chemistry for 1000 hours, or 2000 hrs, how would u compare? Say messi didnt play soccer but got into a field that requires d same skillset a bit- quick thinking, big picture perspective, agility, improvisation. Mayb he would equally excel there. E.g being a ceo, military strategist, chess player,monopoly player, enterpreneur. |

airsaylongcon:C and Fortran are alive for reasons mainstream languages can't meet. C is blazingly fast and gives u unfettered control of the system. Fortran is. Very fast and has native inbuilt constructs for scientific computing. Basic was very easy to get started programming with. Assembly gives u even more control over d system than c. The problem is older languages had flaws newer languages tried to address. Pascal nd Fortran were king of spaghetti code writing. C was unwieldy for writing large programs,hence c with classes ,C++ was born. C++ was too complex , you could program in many ways and shoot urself in d foot while doing so. Also memory leak issues plagued languages that allowed direct access to memory so java came along. Java imposed restrictions that limited programmer's power and enforced programmer to code in a particular paradigm -oop. Java took over the world. It is till one of the most successful programming languages ever. Always trending at or near the top of most popular programming languages. The issue then is why should a school/teacher in this modern era resort to teaching students with languages that could engender very bad coding habits that they'll have to unlearn down the road when they are cheaper more modern alternatives specially built to enforce good sound software engineering principles in the user? It doesn't make sense and is outrightly Stu.pid! How easy is it to get a BASIC language compiler as against getting a java/kotlin/Python compiler/interpreter? Why would you want some to code using line numbers and in all uppercase today? Is that how professionals code today? The only reason is laziness and complacency. |

airsaylongcon:In Nigeria of today, a school is teaching future software engineers to build software using the highly faulted procedural method! I know Fortran was the king in the procedural age but the op is using Lazarus ,a modern Fortran(or is Pascal) ide. The new language is object oriented. This is simple task for toy examples, but for something that looks like a real world app-though trivial- u have to design it properly to handle more scenarios. The better paradigm for designing software is pop,hence I showed him how to go about it. E.g what if the software will b used by some1 else? What if student carries over a course etc What about code reuse and not repeating oneself? This require using mechanisms like encapsulation,inheritance etc. it seems overkill but I thought that was d level op is at |

stanliwise:i know but so are lisp nd ada. But this isnt d reason it's still on the school curriculum. It's there because the curriculum is outdated. Hod is lazy nd lecturer is lazy. Theyre all dull nd behind d times. Teach languages tht will help them get their career off,later,if they want to,they can pick up obscure/niche languages. A friend was thought pascal/fortran (cant remember clearly) during his programme in the early 2000s! |

Pleasant1:Your lecturer is an a@$$hole. S/he needs to be sacked. Or flogged. Anyway, I can help but I program in java. It's more complex than u think,the main issue is in creating a smooth nd beautiful design. So I'll give some tips: 1.) create a timeBlock object Don't worry what timeBlock means,it's just a conceptual object representing a collection of courses. So a semester system will contain two timeBlock per session and trimester system would contain 3 timeBlock per session. Also if carry overs are done in the same calendar year, then it would go into the session object. 2.) Abstract the calculative functionalities into an interface. Many objects will share this traits. E.g a timeblock- and timeBlock container -session,programme all perform similar actions like: compute GPA,compute cgpa,compute credit hours, etc. All these objects will implement these functions from the interface. Etc. The reason for all these abstractions is so that in d future,your code base can b adapted to any school system with very little modification. It can easily get robust. I am assuming that u are using the object oriented paradigm. The right data structure for the internals of the timeBlock should be a dynamic one. That grows nd shrinks as necessary. Arrays will waste memory. A hash map or set will do. Good luck. |

Chubhie:so if a lady got pregnant from consensual sexx it's d man tht bears the brunt and you call tht justice? With such loopholes u can see what womn will do to men? What if lady goes to man nd infect him with std, what will judgemnt say? Does she foot d hospital bills? |

dgee1:you welcome. |

dgee1:you hav a problem of motivation. It can b hard to muster the drive to do something like this all alone for extended periods. You dont need complex math skills to understand how to program,the math skills come in when u r working in a mathematical domain,in other words, the degree of math knowledge required is domain specific. You dont need to worry about math at all at d onset, when u r mature,u will know if/when to acquire more math knowledge. If u know secondary school math, basic algebra,u r good to go. In my opinion, dont worry about strtng a project. Just get a language into ur bloodstream. Hook urself up to one and let d concepts drip into u. This stage is the hardest part because our minds resent unfamiliarity. So time is the only ally u have. Keep ingesting d concepts. Dont look at the passage of time. Keep ingesting. After some time some syntax will begin to seem familiar. You will also begin to hav an itch to solve a little problm tht bothers u. It could b to write a calculator, to copy files etc. When that itch arises, work on it. Complete it . If u havnt completed a small projct u strted, u wont b able to complete a larger one! Motivation is a major issue here. Lastly, to accelerate ur learning, u need to b under some1 who has been there and has a track record of completing projects. The reason for this is tht,the person will save u time-years infact. The downside to this is tht u will learn his bad traits too. The other option, is to teach urself. The pro is,as ur skillset grows,so will ur confidence. 2) u will learn how to teach urself things-a meta skill. 3) u r not limited by any structure a teacher couldav imposed. U could explore any topic to ur heart's delight. The cons are: time- self learning is terribly time consuming. 2) more expensive: the cost doesnt look obvious but,u'll make lots of mistakes which would consume resources- data (internet), books, etc |

mhizsuzzy:one of d smartest person i know has only secondary sch education. He's eloquent intelligent nd engaging but socially n financially at the lowest rung of d social ladder. Once a person is articulate, he can match most minds even a phD/professor mind. There's nothing abt a 1-2yr msc programme that will suddenly make others u could relate with fluently bf unable to cope with u. |

lordragner:your post isnt a motivation but proof of how demented our society has become over this pieces of paper. The guy tht returned to school is cowing in to social pressure which is nothing but a control mechanism by closed-mindedness conformists. The girl got a foreign msc- so her family (why should ur family dictate who u marry?) - how much will the education affect the quality of life they can have together? None. She can speak english so can he? Issue is our society has lifted up this piece of paper to undeserved status. 4 Likes |

DonBenny77:this is d issue tht confuses people on this things- the social angle. Op, what objectivity does a piece of paper present to you-in person. It is hard to swim against the tide of social opinion,but dude,i tell u, u will never regret living by ur conviction. If any1 looks down on u for not having a degree it's because it's entrenched in them to think so. Just like ppl look down on people for not being married or having a car. You can either conform or beat ur own path in life. 2 Likes |

mankettle:like tupac said in his song "changes", "... The old way isnt working/". The world is changing and ppl still sticking to d old way of doing thngs will b the fossil bones for the next generations to study. Tht degree doesnt mean sh*t anymore in this age: what matters is fulfillment and survival . Are you fulfilled ? Tick. How do u survive - make money to earn a living? Tick.

Emilokoiyawon:stop twisting what i said. You qualified it by the bolded to distort my point. When u see ur mother cry or u sister weep from being beaten by a guy outside- what is d initial response u feel? Is tht instinct a captain save-a-hoe is it weakness ? When most men struggle nd make it,what do they want to do for their poor mum in the village? Elevate her. Is that weakness? Why do men hav this innate desire to not want to see women ,e.g their mums sisters, suffer? Why do u hav tht instinct? Men who treat abusive womn so, simply abuse their roles same as dictators thugs bullies tyrants abuse their warrior/dominance roles. |

mezarddinny:when ur mum weeps , what is ur initial action? When ur hear tht a guy insulted ur sister ,say slapped her , what is ur initial response? Infct what does ur sister do? She storms home with tears in her eyes to report to her brother(s) . What is d dynamic here? Havent u seen brothers confront assaulters on behalf of their sisters? Havnt u seen sons grieve at d tear drops of their mothers? Havnt u seen girls with many strong brothers gloat at d protection she has? This is instinctive nd has nothing to do with being weak. If ur younger brother comes home crying tht he was beaten how dyu react? What if ur father was crying? Your reaction to d men is different cuz, men are the strong ones. U expct them to muster courage nd recover. U may fight for ur younger brother but u will try to make him be the warrior nd lion he is. To fight bck. You may console ur weeping father but if it bcomes reoccuring u will b disgusted. Men, were designed to protect. That's y the male physique is built for strength nd endurance. The male drive is for strength nd power. It's by design. What makes a ruler become despotic and a dictator? The male drive. The lion nd ruler urge! The passion to conquer nd dominate. This created feared races like d vikings nd mongols. So ... Naturally, some men's heart bleed seeing womn in distress nd they want to help. We've all being there. But some womn,instead of being grateful abuse this priviledges. Some men actually know tht the womn they play with r actng d b*tch but let it slide. The other side is when d men go perverse nd start acting weak, becomng women wrappers nd doing anythng to please d woman. This is a perversion but it still stems from the inbuilt male instinct to protct the weaker sexx. Same as dictators are abusers of the inbuilt warrior instinct in men. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Emilokoiyawon:guy, this angle u r taking is wrong. Men hav an inbuilt instinct to protect and help weaker species-women,babies,children. We r d stronger sexx. The warriors nd protectors. We r d Lions. But women think this is weakness nd most exploit nd abuse it. A man wont treat his fellow man with d tenderness,he treats a weaker specie but tht would b an insult to his co-warrior rather he'd try to boost him up to regain his strength nd status. His roar. 4 Likes 1 Share |
