Get on X platform. There are some tech philanthropist who usually help with that.
You may be lucky as there are tons of people in your condition too.

The best technique is to approach family and friends. Tell them you have a passion to learn programing. With evidence of the above claimed you made.

You may suggest the total amount and percentage expected from them as no one will be willing to foot the whole bill.

Any idea

Check what it worths on Fiverr, Upwork.
The issue we have in Naija is that we are not used to charge per hour.

If you are lucky, $20/hr and this may take 48hrs+

It is note worthy for you to dedicate time for acquiring the skills as there is no other way to becoming good in web3dev (web 3.0 development).

The starting curve may seems low but consistency is the rule. A 30 minutes today, another few minutes there before you know it, you will master something great.

There is no strick rule to this journey, just do what works for you. This is one reason why mentoring has been quite difficult in the field.

But it's going to be easy to find mentors when you have the readiness and dedicated spirit. The daily distractions and challenges won't go anytime soon. You'll be shock it will pile up even stronger than you are experiencing. The reason is to test you but if you don't hold a sway to the distractions and challenges thrown at you, you will succeed.

I want to share a guide for anyone who wants to begin the web dev aspect.

Don't forget, to be a successful web3dev, you need the frontend and backend skills to a certain extent. Web3.0/Blockchain projects are similar to web2 as they make use of the same scripts, libraries, frameworks, databases, languages etc.

Though, there are other things that are not useful for web development that you will need to understand when it comes to Blockchain development such as solidity, smart contract etc. You will know this as they all come handy and are available as information for you to grab online.

Here is a simple road map for a FullStack Development Learning:

1) HTML + CSS= Day 1-20
2) JavaScript= Day 21-35
3) Bootstrap or Tailwind= Day 36
4) Apply what you have learn= Day 37-46
5) React = Day 47-60
6) Python = Day61-91
7) Django and Node.js = Day91-121
8] MongoDB and MySQL= Day 121-141
9) Git and GitHub = Day 142-160
10) Rest API or JSON API= Day 161-172
11) AWS and Google cloud = Day 173 - 185
12) Build project and intern

As earlier said, you may not need all listed above just know the demands in the market and select the ones in high demand for both backend and frontend. (I have earlier explained the ones that belong to backend and frontend).

Hi everyone, sorry for not seeing update for somedays.

The contents I posted last was removed by the mod and I was banned from posting for few days.

I tried to check if it's my post on this thread or elsewhere that caused the banning.

Well, the testimony is that I'm back.

I will implore the mods to at least help notify us what our offenses are whenever we got banned. It will enable us to be more cautious.

You guys are doing a great job but more needs to be done in the aspect of fair content policy.

I will try my best to keep to the rules in order to educate the readers of this particular thread.

Remember in previous lesson, a breakdown of those simple steps for anyone who wants to dive into web3.0 as a developer was highlighted.

In this lesson, let's look at what makes up the web development.

Web development entails both front end development and back end development. What frontend means is the web development aspect that takes care of the visual aspect or what people see on a web page generally.

The beautiful colors, images, videos, texts, forms and many things users of a web page interact with. It requires a front end developer to put those things in order.

While the aspect of the web page users can't see but makes the web page function including the server is put together by the back end developer.

So, anyone who is skilled in handling both front-end and back-end development, such is called a fullstack Developer.

Hold these terms in your left hand, don't forget them: frontend developer, backend developer and fullstack developer. I trust you won't forget them else, I will ask you to knee down and raise your hands up.

So, as a frontend developer what are the skills one needs?

Frontend Developer Stacks: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Bootstrap, Tailwind, SASS, JQuery, Vue, Angular, Typescript, Foundation, Git and GitHub.

As a backend developer what are the skills one needs?

Backend Developer Stack: JavaScript, Python, Java, PHP, C++, C#, Ruby, Go, Rust, Express, Laravel, Django, MongoDB, Spring, MySQL, PostGreSQL, Node.js, ASP.net, Rails, Rest, JSON, Git and GitHub.

Wawuuuu, this thing plenty oooo. Calm down, you don't necessarily need all infact, most developers don't know all. You just need to know few, build on them, practice and build projects to increase your chances out there.

Streamlined, if you can master few stacks as a frontend developer or backend developer, you are good to go.

Frequently asked questions about Web Development (FAQ.

1) How many languages do I need to know in order to become a front end developer?
Ans: Depending on your capability but the common stacks are HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Reacts, Bootstraps, Angular or Tailwind, Git &GitHub.

2) How many languages do I need to know as a backend developer?
Ans: You need to follow trend in the job opportunities. Common ones are JavaScript/Python, MongoDB, Express, Node.js, Git &GitHub.

3) Why is Git & GitHub repeating itself for both?
Ans: Git is a version control system, if you want to track how your code changes, it's good for it. GitHub is a web-based hosting service for git repositories. Hence both FE and BE developers need them.

4) How many days will it take me to learn these?
Ans: Learning doesn't stop. But if you have a well planned schedule, you should be able to ace the front end development in 3-4 months. But if you want to become a full stack developer meaning to be able to handle both frontend and backend, you will need a minimum of 6 months.

5) Where can one learn web development or fullstack development?
Ans: Best of any learning is to have a mentor or teacher who will follow up with you bumper-to-bumper. But if you are good to self-teaching yourself, check the lists of sites below.

6) Are the training free or one needs to pay?
Ans: some are free while others apply fees. If you need one that comes with certificates, you will pay. But if you have no budget, pick the free sites.

7) When I'm done, how easy is it to get job?
Ans: This depends on many factors. But I can say the skills are top-notch and in high demand. Remember, job like this is skill based rather than certificate. Prospective employers (remote or onsite) will need you to display competency. If you can scale the interview process, be rest assured you are in.

8 ) What's the salary scale like?
Ans: As at 2023, many remote jobs in US and Europe pays from $50,000-$95,000 per annum for entry level developers while senior level developers earn $100,000-$450,000 per annum depending on the project and how skilled you are.

9) What about in Nigeria, how much is the salary?
Ans: Most entry level job roles pay between N100k-N150k while senior level varies from 400k-1M. I prefer the foreign based county because you earn in $$$ and you can work remotely.

Here are some sites you can learn from:

[1) w3schools- offers both free and paid.
2) LinkedIn E-learning - offers paid
3) Udemy - offers paid
4) Udacity -paid
5) Tutorials point- offers free and paid
6) Edureka - paid
7) Simplilearn - free
8 )SkillForAll - free and paid
9) GeekforGeek- free
10) Freecodecamp - free and paid
11) YouTube- free but you need to get data.
12) Coursera - both free and paid
13) CodeAcademy- free
14) Sololearn - free

Note: web3.0 needs a firm grip at web dev first even if it's to acquire the basic skills. If you can also garner experience interning with a Blockchain firm after your web development training, it will make the journey easier. In the next post, more light will be shed on what else to add to the basic skills before advancing into web3.0/Blockchain development.

Indeed
Folks are going through hell

Yes, that's why I don't judge whenever they decided to japa.

Anything that works for everyone as long as it's legal.

Funny enough, if there is a free flight to UK this week, Nigeria will almost be empty.

People are going through hell in their own country, they would prefer a place they can earn even if it takes them to work assiduously.

Seeing an old man gathering woods and sands from flood just to feed tells you how worst things are presently.

At times I said I'm broke, but received some SOS messages from married people who just need to put food on the table for the night even though the next day wasn't sure. I have to empty my account most times for those in dire need. Someone close to me committed suicide despite the little help we could gather for him financially.

Nigeria , Nigeria, Nigeria my dear country, you will one day be healed from this mess you are.
We still trust for a better day someday.

Even the rice alone should be 10k or close.

If you are just joining this thread, please, take a little effort to scroll up so you can understand where we started from.

In this post, I will explain the first step which has been highlighted in previous post on the steps towards becoming a Blockchain/Web3.0 Developer.

Before diving into what the web development entails, I want to briefly explain the term web3.0.

Web3.0 is a short form of referring to the technology phase of the website. Web development has passed through several phases namely: web1.0, web2.0 and now web3.0. Once web3.0 is fully grown and explored another phase of technology will emerge.

I) Web 1.0 was like a big book that everyone could read, but only a few people could write in. Web 1.0 technology is the first generation of the World Wide Web. It was characterized by static web pages that were mostly created and maintained by a small number of web developers. Users were primarily consumers of content, with limited opportunities to interact with websites or other users.

ii) Web 2.0 This is more like a notebook where everyone can write and share their ideas. Web 2.0 technologies have made it easier for people to communicate and share information with each other. They have also made it easier for people to learn and create new things.

iii) Web3.0 This allows users to read+write+own the contents at the same time. Web3.0 is the next generation of the internet. It is still under development, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the internet and with each other.

One of the key features of Web3.0 is that it is decentralized. This means that it is not controlled by any one entity, such as a government or a large corporation. Instead, it is controlled by a network of computers that are owned and operated by users.

Another key feature of Web3.0 is that it is more secure and private than previous generations of the internet. This is because it uses cryptography to protect user data and to ensure that transactions are secure.

Summary:

Web1.0= read only

Web2.0= read + write

Web3.0= read + write + ownership

JASONjnr:


Dude, there is nothing logical about surviving with 10k for a year.

Today, you can't give someone 10k to survive.... You have to consider other factors.

Probably, I missed what logical means.

But I know that, if you must asked a logical question, you must first and foremost be reasonable about asking stupid questions.

10k?

Already read your contribution. You have been notified.

JASONjnr:
Lol.....

But why would Nigerians be asking unimaginable questions like this?

You will just be on your own enjoying your peace, somebody will bring mic and ask you what can you do with 100billion US dollars...

Money that the person askin will never see in their life.

It's a logical question. It's to see how far some of us can reason. Usually no right or wrong answers as every answer is seen as an attempt.

mariahAngel:
I would sharpaly go into pure water distribution business, supplying shops and homes.
We must not run down o.

This is good though, I love the business aspect you come from.

Let's learn from others too.

Nwodosis:
One particular region of the country were given two pounds per individual and they survived!

You still have not answered. The question asked about YOU.

I came across a logic question related to something like this. Though I have tried to edit it for so it can make much sense to anyone who cares to answer it.

YOU WERE GIVEN N10K TO SURVIVE IN NIGERIA FOR A YEAR. IF YOU SUCCEED, YOU’LL WIN N100M. HOW WILL YOU DO IT?

Let's have an open mind on this logical question.

Please, let's stay off from calling names of political parties or anyone. Attack the question and not the country nor the leaders. Thanks!

TONY042:
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks for this thread OP.

I've idea about cryptocurrencies and the trading aspect, but I want to go into the technology behind it (BLOCKCHAIN). I've no knowledge about coding, so am with you all the way.

It's glad to know that people are getting interested in Blockchain. I have tried to search a thread rich in equipping people on the fundamentals especially as regarding the web3.0 development, since I couldn't find one, I decided to make this a resourceful one.
I hope to see it through to the end as it will be useful for newbies.

If you have any area we need to touch or you can contribute as well to make this thread a go-to one for "all you need to become a web3.0 developer from zero to master".

This is commendable at least a bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

But to think of it, N35,000 @ exchange rate of N1,150= $1 is just $35 or less.

An average remote tech jobs pay $25-$40/hr. At least I know of Data Analysis, Cloud DevOps, Front End Dev, Back End Dev, AI, Data mining, Cyber security, UI/UX, Product Manager, Content creator, etc.

If you are youths, this is the time you need to think outside the box. You can't keep lamenting on what you have no control over.
There are opportunities online to tap into. Don't let Nigeria economy sink you low. More is happening outside there.

God will show you the way and hold you strong.

Dikastan:
50k can buy it

It's alright.

wittywriter:
STO'PLAYING OP.


Wittyness.

What's the meaning of the bolded?

Wittyness.

Wetin be the meaning of the bolded?

Zee0007:
Yes, it can. If you can do;

Use the 10k and rent a gun and go and rob all store owners.

With what is happening in this country, 100k can't buy you what you posted.

Funny you. But to exaggerate that N100k can't buy these, I doubt that.

If e sure for you, run am.

How can one spend N10,000 on these?

Optimist4life:
I am following this thread keenly. Thanks for this OP, I have been on web development for some months now. I am very interested in this. Thanks

So nice to know you already started web dev. May I know the stack you are focusing on and what you intend to do with the skill later?

Simple RoadMap To Becoming a Web3.0/Blockchain Developer

As said in one of the wise books, he who plunges his hands in a plough, and looks back is not fit for a reward.

It also said somewhere, any man who wants to build a house, he needs to first count the cost, to access it if he will be able to complete the house, so that he won't get to the middle and stop. Hence people will mock him, it would have been better not to start than starting and stopping in the middle.

To travel from the point you are (novice) to becoming an expert (web3.0 Dev) you'll need to understand the navigation so you can be prepared.

Below are what you need to begin with:

1) Web development skills- We will explain in details as we go on. You can keep reading or take a notepad to save this.

2) Basics of Blockchain Technology- Don't worry, most of this info are right here on Nairaland too. Don't be scared of the grammar.

3) Smart Contract and Why it matters- Just keep reading, we will explain in a layman's language later.

4) Programming with Solidity- this one go dey easy if we take care of No1 very well especially for someone who haven't done any coding before.

5) CTD of Smart contract - No mind me, the reality is that we use many abbreviations in web3.0, so we need to start from now. CTD means compiling, testing and deploying of smart contract. Don't worry, we dey together, you can just write them in a jotter so you don't forget easily.

6) Learn about DApps, Wapps- these are decentralized applications. The former means Decentralized Applications while the later means Web Applications. Imagine you joke with your friend that see how you are looking at me like a DApp or WApp, they will look confused but you are using them to catch fun. This is one way to learn, using the words daily or reading about them.

7) Metamask and other crypto wallets- Just to dive into how these technology functions and their structures.

Learn how to use web3.js or ether.js- At these stage you will already have known much so you can be able to pick between web3.js or ether.js in order to connect your DApps (by now you should know what DApps means, else I will ask you to raise your hand up and face the wall.

9) Practice some projects - these one plenty online, there are sites who are ready to pay you for helping out with simple projects. As you team up or handle any, you can add to your CV.

10) Build your portfolio- I need not to stress this more, you should know why it is needed.

Gents and ladies, your day is as busy as mine. It is from the same 24 hours I take to write this, Hussle as well to pay my bills. So, I will continue from here next time.

Don't forget, the best gift you can give to yourself is to learn this skill.

Web3.0, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Cyber security, Data Analysis, Big Data, Robotics and few others pay higher among any tech jobs in the world. You also can offer your services remotely, you can work at your pace.

I'm also yet to reach my leap, I'm still learning but I believe someone will be helped with this information.

Next time, we will delve into No1 on the roadmap, what it entails and how you can start. Web Development is one of the most sought after skills nowadays. With that skill, you can at least solve problems for people who daily need the service.

As at the time of writing this article, Web3.0 Developer salary range annually is estimated to be $80,000- $150,000 for entry, junior or mid level role. While senior roles or experts is from $400k- $1M (at this stage, you are a bunch of knowledge yourself).

Look beyond the salary for now, find a passion in something then the reward will come later.

I will leave you with this quote from Brian Tracy which says "The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear. Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me? '

[To be continued]

As a continuation to where we stopped last.

Today, I attended a webinar host by Ecobank celebrating Ecobank Day, theme: on digital education in Africa.

The panelists are young folks some of which are fluent in French and English. What fascinated me most was that they are averagely in their 20's and started early in coding.

One of them, Wiza from Malawi currently works with a bank in Brazil as well as consulting for some tech companies in China.

Why do I have to share this here, it's to let you know that you need to create an hunger, passion for tech if you are a newbie.

Attend most of the tech conferences usually advertised on Facebook, LinkedIn, Eventbrite. Even if you won't bodily be available, there is a virtual option for those programs. You can get motivated to push yourself in learning all you want to learn as a programmer who is ready to solve problem.

Don't forget, Rome they say, is not built in a day.

Xxxxtentacion2:
comot the 3k use am do something meaningful, then find goat and fowl give them the akara and yam to eat...
nothing dey happen nigerians are too sacred and docile...

See me smiling from miles.

The niggar above me, you are so funny. Don't pick 3k to draw problems money can't solve to yourself. Waka jeje!

You spot this in front of your gate, what’s your next move?

Run

Dismantle it

Call boys

Pour anointing oil/water

Take the money
