I am working on motion detection app,where a user gets notification and also capture a view of an intruder that passed through spy cameras mounted at home..
This should work anywhere the user is...to be completed year end.

please what programming language are you using?

please what programming language are you using?

I am using C

Currently working on an app to control WiFi enabled wall socket (eSocket). The eSocket will soon be available.

Also working on depression prediction app. The AI model developed with Python have already hosted on heroku.

Guys, please I need your advice and guidance..

I'm very good in html and Css but I'm having problem with javascript. I don't seem to get it even with loads of video tutorial from YouTube and udemy. Maybe, it's because this is a real programming language unlike html and Css that happens to be an ordinary markup language and styling sheet...

Please, is it possible to learn this stuff myself coupled with the fact that I'm still in school with some crazy assignments and test ready for me?

Or I should look for money and go learn it at an ICT centre?

Note: I'm a computer science student currently being taught C++ as one of our courses but my lecturer is only teaching us what to write to pass her test and exams.

Hi, I'd first of all tell you that i really understand your plight, cos I've been there before.
But, i just want to make one thing clear, "Everything that is worth it, life makes it hard to learn".


I'd now try to answer your question

JavaScript is a difficult language to learn esp for beginners, cos of the fact that most programmers (esp) web developers learn JavaScript as their first Programming language....Going to an I.C.T center believe me, will do you no good, Programming happens to be one of those skills that requires constant practice, You just need constant practice, again i must say that "Programming is not Computer Science"...Yeah, you heard me right...Programming is only a subset of Computer Science...Your lecturers are not paid to teach you Programming, they are paid to teach you "Computer Science"- teaches you how to solve computable problems using algorithms, and that is what Computer Science lecturers teach.

and again "crazy assignments and test" is not an excuse, I'm currently in my 300L as a Physics Student , I've been programming since 2015, i code like everyday.

A million thanks to you sir... Talking about constant practice, should I stop learning from tutorials and start building real life projects with javascript from videos on YouTube just like someone advised me...


Another thing is, I already know the syntaxs, operators, and familiar with javascript methods and what they are used for, but writing it offhand myself to build something is a big issue...

How do I cope with this sir?

Note: I started learning javascript early January of this year.

learn the syntax first,
here are some of the important stuffs you should understand in JavaScript

1.variable declaration - (difference between "let" , "var" and "const" )
2.Operators - (also try to understand how the "tenary" operator work It's better than "if else" statements)
3.difference between double equals and triple equals (== && ===)
4.understand how the increment and decrement notation works ("++" and "--" )
5.understand the data types in JavaScript
6.Object declaration - (Object literal notation , Object factory , constructors , and classes)
7.Object methods
8."this" keyword- you must understand how the "this" keyword works in both normal functions and in es6 arrow functions
9.arrays - learn everything about arrays, this is very important (sort , pop , push , first class functions - (forEach , reduce , filter) e.t.c)
10 - DOM manipulation and events

just start from here, understand these concepts then you can move on to building some stuffs without backend e.g Calculator , to-do list e.t.c

Thanks for taking out time to break it down for me

To answer your first question: I found it rather interesting. In my second year , we were introduced to a programming language: C++ and from there I started building my programming skills . You cannot talk about engineering without programming. Embedded systems are programmed . Your TV sets , your smart phones, telecommunication systems , laptops , (all which are electronic devices) etc cannot function without being programmed .

Third year I started learning assembly language (machine language) for programming microcontroller chips.

And after my graduation, I delved into android app development using java and in 2 months I was able to build my first app. My programming experience was relatively easy . I had a mathematics background and can write complex algorithms.

To answer your second question. Engineering is about designs. All designs need to be precise and calculated. You need a good background of maths to scale through

Nice one. Is it available for download yet?

Am currently working social media site using php the concept of this social media site is a little bit different from what we have around.

This site is actually one out of the three main projects i have for this year as have being working hard on building my own empire since last year.

the site will be lounch on 5th of may as we projected.

php might seems not to be the real language to use but with php 7 and lavarel in my possession am more than confident this will perform as expected.

and for what purpose exactly?

I'm building it for Twitter to be specific. You can take a tweet URL and turn it into a screenshot for sharing on Whatsapp & other media.

What do you think?

Yes, exactly.

What's your thought on this?

Celebritydevelo:


Yes, exactly.

What's your thought on this?

It is nice but sounds more like reinventing the wheel because I can easily take a screenshot of a webpage on my phone or snip on PC, so why use an app ? or are there other functionalities attached?
are you merely embarking on it to test some functions or you hope that the general public would use it?
