Savotech:
I am an embedded systems programmer i.e I write programs for electronics hardware for domestic and industrial control systems. I gained interest in programming out of passion to solve problems that cant be solved using a discrete integrated circuit. Programming is used to add high level intelligence to hardware system.

Slawormir:
I be like programming o
Na im make me chose computer science

But when Uniben subject us to old programming language like Pascal and Fortran ehnnnnn
I swear i nor like that course again

F3dan:

Front-end : html, Css and JavaScript

XwhY:
My love for mathematics has made me think I'll do well with coding as a side hustle.

I started with html about 2 years ago but I later dropped it due to some work challenges. I'm ready to pick up from where I stopped now.

I'll be happy if anyone can teach me more stuff here.

philip0906:

1. Visit learnpython dot org and start with the basics--- start with HTML, CSS & bootstrap then move to Python and Ruby. You can also checkout freecodecamp dot org.

2. Use Youtube tutorials for visuals; Search for "learn python/HTML/CSS full course for beginners" any of the languages you want to learn...You can also check out & subscribe to Freecodecamp youtube channel

3. Sign up on meetup dot com...And select your city of residence. You will join over 5,000 Nigerians who are learning how to code with different bootcamps and learning events organised throughout the year.

4. Immerse yourself in this daily for 8 months...Then apply for Andela's learner or volunteer programs next year April/May

5. If you don't get the opportunity to join Andela, there will be other doors that will open for you (One of the pros of been a programmer)

6. Give yourself this time next year, you will be a self taught programming guru (You need atleast 11 months of intense self learning to be ready to take on very tasking jobs)

7. You will be spoilt for choice of jobs, no matter how little for a start (freelance, remote, contract or salary)...That's a guarantee

Hello there, my fellow programmers and aspiring , now let me ask you,

Why did you choose to become a programmer??


For me, i picked interest after watching the TV series Kyle XY and I've enjoyed the journey so far...

I love this. How do I start learning this?

Kokaine:
it's challenging oooh. But javascript is the center point sha. Once you cross that hurdle, the cruise is smooth.

shegzhkn:

Kokaine:
use w3schools.com
Start from the first tutorial of JavaScript to the end. Don't mind the rigor. Its worth it at the end. Just open a your editor (preferably visual studio code, install pluggings like HTML boilerplate, CSS peek, open in browser, and live server) and practice while you read. You should have a community of friends and mentor that do JavaScript because its very confusing. But focus on vanilla JavaScript. That means JavaScript with no libraries like jquery. When you are done witg w3schools, use YouTube videos to confirm you are up to speed with ES6 codes. (Just basic ones) by this time im sure you would have started enjoying it.
