Programming Not Enough Anymore: Data Analysis, Ml And A.i Is The Future. by helpsystem: 1:06am On Jun 06, 2019 |
When I see most people still talking about the old python, java, e.t.c. in this our part of the world, I tend to wonder if we are ever going to catch up with the rest of the world in innovations and rapid development. Don't get me wrong, learning primary languages such as c++, python, java, r programming, e.t.c is essential, but in the present reality, this programming languages is more or less like learning English language, French language, Spanish language, e.t.c. What should be more of focus is cloud computing, data analysis, machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data, software development, e.t.c. because this are now what set the technology pace. Ofcos one can't do all these without learning basic programming, but presently nobody writes bogus programming anymore when you can just write a two or few lines of code which will easily execute and give desire result. In conclusion, I am just trying to let us Africa to look beyond the basic programming of 10years ago and put our focus on the the most essentials like tensorflow, datalab, e.t.c. our pace is too slow, we need to set our priorities right. In medicals, technologies, weather forecasting, marketing, accounting e.t.c are all been overtaking by a.i and ml. In few more years the most lucrative jobs will be taking by those who understand a.i and ml. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Nice one, but there is a need to master the primary languages and be well verse in using them before jumping to Ai and ML stuffs, Also you need cash for so many things and developers get these from there freelancing services in most of these primary languages. 5 Likes |

How can you implement ai or ml without programming languages like python or java? Tensorflow, Catalan and every other AI or ml library was written in a programming language. Your advice is equivalent to telling someone who cant walk to forget about learning to walk but should start learning to run. helpsystem: 24 Likes |

toks4wonder:No I differ with u. The way programming works now is different from before. Now u don't need to write long codes or billion of codes to get it. Cos all these have been done into packages u will just need to download and use one or two line of code to achieve. And about learning primary languages, as I mentioned one will need to learn it but not to mastery, rather it is the more u practice u will become better. 2 Likes |

uchnino:Ofcos programming is needed, which is what I said above, but most people just believe its just to code but now programming is just like learning English as I said which everyone must learn but taking other courses in English written like medicine, engineering e.t.c is d application and that's how python,r e.t.c is to data science , ai and ml 1 Like |

helpsystem:l understand you though but l think you're just making it seem complicated. At the end of the day, Machine learning and Artificial intelligence would require the utilization of tools or libraries in programming languages like python, java, and R. Tools like Tensorflow, Keras, Scikitlearn and Pandas. Learning all of these libraries for instance, is thesame as learning a programming language, in this case Python. Before you get to point of learning these libraries, you would have to learn some basics as well e.g Functions, dictionaries, and list, which is again basically learning Python, a programming language. So in the end it boils down to thesame thing, nor confuse yourself. 3 Likes 1 Share |

helpsystem: You have spoken well. Presently I can categorically tell you that coding itself is old fashioned. "visual programming" is currently the order of the day. Coding is error prone and time consuming but with visual programming, complex algorithms are embedded on a friendly user interface and programming is as easy as dragging an icon and placing it in the right direction. What it takes a professional programmer to execute in a day can now be done by a total novice with no knowledge of programming to accomplish in a minute. Unfortunately the majority are stalked in past glory and would rather resist change until they're totally left behind. 1 Like 1 Share |

resosdigital:Lmao in d 21st century, who need u to code from scratch. I was trained by google bro and also I did my ml course with Stanford university. While I am presently doing my data science specialization with job Hopkins. No company will tell u to b coding from scratch rather how well ur code runs and achieve its aim. So u are telling a company will want u to do a work that can be done in hours for days. Do u even know why a.i is been more of focus now. Cos now they want machine to do more of d work and even predicting future and possible outcome. Jupyter notebook, r, tensorflow are interface provided to make coding interactive and fun. Nobody needs ur bogus coding rather solving problems with less line of coding. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ofcos no language is a waste. But if u check the history of programming, u will discover with time, programming languages are becoming obsolete as new languages are been developed. Need to let u know years ago nobody knows about pytorch and co. But now. Its has evolve how people use python. I started learning programming with qbasic, c, c++ but now no one code with these anymore. Can't even remember when I use them. Now I use r, tensorflow, jupyter notebook. And I can boast I do deliver well. 2 Likes |

To all beginners, dont let anyone fool you into thinking that learning the fundamentals is a waste of time. You never know what opportunities tomorrow will bring your way. Earlier this year I heard about a programmer who had applied for a senior dev job. He had an amazing portfolio of python projects to showcase but when he worked into the hall, he was given an an array problem to solve in big oh of n time. He had no idea what big oh was and lost the job as result. This is something he could have easily learnt if he was patient enough to go through the basics first. My advice is that you cant learn to run without first knowing how to walk else you would wabble a few steps forward and come crashing down. 8 Likes 1 Share |

helpsystem:And here is where my topic and curiosity comes in. Y are people afraid to move with d pace at which the world is evolving. Rather we want to still wallow on past glories. Apart from java and python which are still very relevant. All the old languages like basic, c, c,++ e.t.c are going obsolete and that's the fact. No one codes with them. Just as Greek and Latin are the origin of English language and they are obsolete now |
