If you are serious about the no experience,then you have to hire me.i have acquired the basic and intermediate practical knowlegde needed to get me started as a java developer.I dont need much training other than to join a team working on a real and live project.i was working on a school management web application before my laptop crashed last month.I intended to finish dt application and raise some cash for my scjp.As for the database aspect,i ve ocp and I know sql well.I can learn sql server and microsoft version of sql on the job.i need a job now as much as i need air.I will send in my cv.

Trying to make sense of it all.A newbie developer trying to put together my first application with Java/J2EE/Spring.I am very open to getting into any part of IT so long as I can make a lot of money to live the way I like.If I bring a maserati to Nigeria,its not gonna reject the bad roods.But for me,I will preffer to be a SAP developer because as a developer,you are an indispensible requirement of the system.I have had about ABAP and SAP integration with Java,so once I can get myself started I am open to all ideas.The SAP business even is surely going into my diary.

However,I will reiterate that I still prefer to be a developer whether with SAP,Java/Oracle or Microsoft frameworks because as a developer if you have a good idea,you can make a lot of money.SAP or no SAP,Google boys became rich with gmail via Javascript,Zuberberg Facebook was done with PHP and twitter is the new boy in town with ruby on rails.Most banks in Nigeria run on java and microsoft powered software and possible oracle or SAP at the backend,atleast I know about rubicon and finacle.Young developers have made money with developing games and other programs that is not enterprise related.

@anawhite. Yah i've been in da middle east and asia for over a decade. Guess i just kept fantasizing about Nigeria. Only 4 reality to strike as soon as i got to nigeria. my odeal started when i landed MMA a real long story. Everything is different!! Well i'm Doing my NYSC, something to be happy about i guess, got less than a year to finish.

sounds like 419,middle east for 10 years and now NYSC.Okay now.

It depends.

For 99% of girls whose power and way to their heart lie in between legs,what else is the girl going to hide after it has been revealed? When she knows that when you look at her,what you see is a naked person.You know the color of everything.Some parts have become worse than you even met them.Nothing to excite you again about them.Moreover,if the guy was good at it,why not relish that wonderful experience again.Is it a crime? For singles only!

If you are going to work in a company writing programs then you'll need to know how to write your code from a class diagram, this is an object oriented approach for software development. Fellow the link below for video tutorials on UML which is used for modelling when using an object oriented method.

Thanks man.

eSOT:

Sincerely, I suggest you take that exam because as it is you are already half way there. I used to be in your shoes I even read Chemistry Education in school but today, I can hold my own against any developer though in the meantime you can keep studying and try taking a job as an instructor it will help keep your memory and knowledge fresh and challenged.

thanks bro for the kind words.I will surely take the exam immediately I raise the cash.continuous learning is the only option and as soon as i get certified,I will go for a tutor job.i am getting acquainted with spring these days because it seems to be the future of java ee and I read somewhere that the future of java may be confined to enterprise use only.

can u hire a beginner?

Kobojunkie:

A Chief Architect who does not know that sticking to the framework most competent in is the best way to go?? hmm . . . .

Again @Webmonkey, if you are best in Java, stick with Java. There is no such thing as one language being better than the other in all this. What you can do with one, you can mostly do with the other. the key is going with what you know best and getting the work done.

The simple service you have above is going to deliver what you need. You may need to tweak it for performance, scalability and adaptability etc. Apart from that, simple is NOT EVIL. Matter of fact, what using a BUSINESS framework does is adding more lines of code and potential trading performance for structure or something else. you need to start simple(where you know you can), and build on it as you discover the need to.

I totally agree with you. What is lacking amongst Nigerian programmers is in-depth knowledge and expertise needed to deliver high performance and robust softwares.No language is better than the other. What we have is fundamental computing implemented in different languagues.Although some are good in certain areas than others (like implementing AMQP in Erlang ,spring supports it in java via spring AMQP).In terms of enterprise application which is what is needed here, java has proven to be doing very well in it especially with spring. I get pissed at all these apostles who are here defending what they don’t know. What contributions have they made to those languages they defend?

The best windows operating system for learning is Windows XP professional.Thats my opinion.

Secondly I will advice you to leave netbeans alone for now if you are beginner with no programming experience and indepth knowledge of the working of a computer system.Why do I say this,netbeans like other IDE's are abstracted on top of the OS,it simplifies all the tasks and does so gracefully in a graphical manner.So it is deceptive for a beginner but good for an intermidiate or advanced user.Most tutorials and books will advice you to crank up your command line and play with,until you grab many concepts like classpaths,paths,environmental variables,the file system and other mundane issues you need to know as an advanced user when you start programming proper,the you can now use IDE's to simplify matters,even graduate from IDE to another.I started with netbeans and ant but now uses eclipse and maven(although still an intermidiate)

The reason why you couldnt run javac was because you didnt set the path variable.Read this it is self explanatoryhttp://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/paths.html

segsalerty:

why not start teaching us from here bro, this is the best way for u to change people's life if u really mean to ! abi u want some $$$$$ in your pocket ni ?

We want everything free.Nigeria should have been named Freestate.Do you know what it takes to learn programming?If you want static tutorials for you to read and digest,there are a million pages on the net offering such for over 100 languages,if you want to get one on one and become good,pay for it.Go to this http://www.springsource.com/training/class?classID=84769 and see how much it cost to learn spring(java/j2ee) from a bootcamp.Its the same for evryother language.

When it was revealed by wikileaks recently that GEJ told an American Ambassador that he did't have political experience,many didnt take notice.I am not surprised at this,I expect more guffing from GEJ.Although this does not take my vote away from him despite this recent derailment,he still represents the future I hope for,what the Egyptians and Tunisians are taking to the street for,a vote for departure from status quo.

In the US,such exchange of strong and vain words(Glenn beck said on national TV that Obama hates white people) are common although it is done in a dignified manner with evidence that you are better than the other guy in policies that will afffect the nation for good.I have watched Obama poking someone in the chest while they were on TV.If he thinks that the governors are rascals and he can prove,let him do that for Nigerians and convince them to vote the PDP in every state.Chikena!

Nigerians are not widely read or care to observe other polity well.We make a big deal out of everything while leaving out or ignoring important matters.

jimblaze:

@ jubatus, i like your zeal! but with God all things are possible, i got my dream dba job in a construction company by Gods favour after i had failed the oral. written and practical interviews!so with God all thins are possible! i am a core dba and am slowly but surelly geting in to PL/SQL. My advice pray first, then practice and practise! its good to be a master of one and jack of all. cos believe me in the I.T. world you cannot find someone that know it all! I.T. is way to broad!you can apply online, gatecrash places that use or might use oracle and neva ever give up!it is well, Jesus is still Lord!

thanks man,God is about to do it.will heed ur advice

candylips:

unfortunately i don't have any side projects right now but just continue learning and very soon you will land a job and become a very good developer

thanks,theres no subsitute for learning more to be able to prove myself anywhere.Only someone who hasnt started the journey will not wish to get to the level of being a good developer and delivery solutions with ease.I hope I can be like you guys soon.Keep me in mind anything you have got something

candylips:

@webmonkey

Is it compulsory that you most deploy the app in a J2EE container and use MQ( i know some companies force these kinds of things down developer's throats ).

If you have more leeway on the architecture of the system. Start looking at Spring integration ASAP as suggested by logica.

You will be ready with a working application within a couple of hours combining the JDBC adapter with a JMS or Webservice Gateway

It seems that anywhere j2ee is mentioned,the experts talk spring.Okay ooo! I am a newbie and I tried learning ejb but the annotation driven framework,akin to secret societies signs didn't make it easy so I stumbled on a blog that had so many spring advocates and I decided to go a learning spring.From what I was able to consume before I had a system crash,spring seems to give you that sense of control and makes you feel part of the whole development(I prefer XML configuration to java 5 annotations) of which I think every developer wants(I stand to be corrected);although being inexperience I do not know if this is a false sense of control and integration.However,it was easier for me to understand the parts of the reference documentation I have read so far-Ioc container,DI,Spring AOP,was reading DAO's and support for ORM before I went down.

This period I have not being playing with my eclipse,I have spent most of the time reading and trying to come to terms with the spring concepts and I seem to have no trouble appreciating ithe fact that it is easier to learn than ejb although as a beginner,you will struggle a little to understand the initial concepts like IoC and DI.

I hope to get myself a new system and finish up and become like you guys and begin to talk spring,get a job and get a life.God dey

my taste changes annully.

M M M:

buy 1 carton of soap 4 him 2 self-service when u are not around.

This is the best suggestion or let him get the feel of MouthAction for once before kongi kills that your lover.If you tell me that you have not had sex in the last one month,amadioha,

Pweety4me:

^Sorry your questions are to personal.

You see thats what I am talking about.Too personal.The answers are too obvious.The only way to sex in relationship is avoid being promiscious.One person at a time.It will reduce the risk of getting any bad disease and be sure to use protection.But for those who cant wait till they are married to have it raw and so sweet,devil catch them they dont get pregnant or get STDs

Pweety4me:

Some people are just so used, to having the addition of sex in a relationship that they see it as Abnormal when a guy/girl say's NO.

I want to ask,if you are saying no to sex in a relationship,do you consider that relationship intimate in the literal sense.Secondly,does it mean that you have just suspended sex in your life for the period or consider someone to be in a relationship with you and then have secret sex with another person? If you have disvirgined,as a girl can you go without sex for one month?

googles:

errrm. . . . I love Dakore no doubt but i will knock her down to get dat man any time T

the boy is fine

jennykadry:

lol I don't find him overly attractive myself, he is just there/fine

But the dude has got bald head, so he might be good in bed

[size=15pt]
a person defines beauty and ugliness relative to what they themselves look like.If you are beautiful then you will really be able to tell the both extremes perfectly.For some the guy is handsome and for others,he is just there,normal.

I think they match because the girl or woman is not pretty,the fit each other.[/size]

instinctg:

its pretty cool that you are doing fine in java. the edge oracle has is that you will always need DBA skills in apps development. the more skills one has, the better.
In this part of the world, u can be a jack of all, master of all, cos no knowledge is lost. as for job listings, maybe career sites eg allnigeriajobs.com , ,even nairaland could be of help.
Truth is, most job opportunities are not advertised online or even in the dailies.It requires one knowing the players in the industry, even if its a small IT shop.
Grace of God also counts.Just a matter of time

Surely,from my little experience,an app developer needs some dba skills,at least advanced sql and deep understanding of how databases works or better still how to program one.in support of jack of all trade,so long as your brain can carry all of dem successfully.

I have to keep searching and updating myself.I will try those jobsites while nairaland remains my primary point of call.

How I wish you are a player in the industry.God can use anyone and in this dynamic world of IT,once you have the skills,you are good to go.

"Just a matter of time" but I hope it will happen sooner.I don suffer.

Firstly,learning the java programming language has been my preoccupation in the past one year.After initial struggle to come to terms with the whole OOP concept(my only programming experience being procedural programing vis-a-vis BASIC  and PASCAL);I can now consider myself above basic level but not fully at the intermediate level but ready to plunge into the dynamic world of coding.

I have taken a look at SCJP questions online and I could score past 70% on first attempt and subsequent ones on a drill of over 70 questions without referring to any text or revising anything.However I have not written the exam,reason being that I cannot presently afford the 48k needed to take the exam atone of the test centers in Ikeja.

Secondly,in this part of the world where employer's of labour require over 10 years of experience on the job,it is difficult to find a job,talk more of a skilled one.Scurrying Nigerian job sites and newspapers in search of java/j2ee programmer job is a waste of time.Its even only here in the programming section on nairaland that I even see adverts for such jobs.

However,I can remember reading one blog that advised rookies in the IT field to seek a mentor to guide them,this is what I seek now.Someone who could help put together volumes of knowledge that I have consumed in the last one year,have me do some things like software testing,writing trivial classes or anything related.Furthermore,if engaged on a real project,I will be able to defend my dignity and begin to add value in the shortest minimum time possible.

I am very ready to work like an apprentice without pay.So long as the job description is java/j2ee.Right now most of what I have is conceptual knowledge,if the wind blows me towards say any java framework like  spring beans,ejb,avalon,jboss seam or in-house framework,I am ready to go.I can catch up on the job.

I am waiting,save a soul.Bring a brother  into the programming world and help him put food on his table.God will bless you real good.

I can be reached via jubatuscode@gmail.com

@instinctg thanks for the encouragement. I have gotten far in java.what it remains now is putting it together.I was abt doing dat this Feb wen my system crashed.But baba God dey,Oracle DBA or Java/J2ee programmer,one is surely going to happen.

Please any ideas on where to apply?

I got my OCP last year.I decided to learn java to broaden my view.I have not started out as a programmer but I need a job badly as probably as Oracle tutor,administrator or anything related.Searching for such jobs especially for beginners via jobsites and newspapers is very frustrating.Please any help or ideas on how to go about getting this much needed job will be appreciated.A job offer will be the best thing that can happen to me now.I could do PL/SQL on the job because I know SQL and OOP/programming basics.In my java practices,I have been able to persist data to  Oracle express via JPA.

I need a job.
