Albertone: Self taught. After learning the basics of the programming language you want to learn. Just go online and find something like "Biginner Projects I can do with XXXX" You'll get lots of suggestions. Some contain links to tutorials. You can also select the ones you like most and find tutorials online yourself. But the time you do one or two projects using tutorials, do a personal project yourself. The best way to learn is to have a project you're working on while learning. 1 Like |

philip0906: As I stated previously, I took the 3 months job because I wanted to meet new people and share ideas. I have been a contract developer for over 4years. As to clarify the criteria of a thing, my market worth is far over that. I left the 50k job for a 3k$ job. Maybe you haven't met a Dev like me. I used to be money inclined but I found out it doesn't help. The experience I got from the 50k job helped in getting the 3k$ job 3 Likes |

Eddee: We are all on contract, as long as you work for another man.. I personally prefer to collect big box as a "contract" staff as against shinikin money as "full" staff.. A secondary sch classmate earns 5x my Per annum as a contract staff!!! who full staff epp? Halla your boy if anything comes up.. North East is not an issue.. For the right price I will go to Mars ![]() ![]() |

sholarr12:if you are an entry level developer, it is unstable as Nigeria does not have a robust tech market. We don't value tech here that much. As you become more experienced, you become more in demand, and can even dare to work remotely with foreign companies, get foreign gigs, or get sponsored relocation. 1 Like |

benjijosh:Lots of contradictions in your post though. 1. What does someone want to "learn" in a 50k programming job that cannot be learnt freelancing or developing yourself by reading and harnessing tons of free tutorials online, since the person claims to be worth more than that? 2. You're not money inclined but took up a mouth watering "offer" of $3k, yimu. 3. Your market was worth more than 50k according to you but you had to commute for 7 hours a day for a meagre 50k a month? Tell that to another person fam. That said, I totally respect your views and opinion just stating some things I see that does not add up, which is entirely my own view too. 1 Like |

DeckXavier: As long as you are building someone's product and the person no longer requires the services , yes but for me at all. I was affected somewhat, but I jumped to other avenues that might make sense to be honest. 1 Like |

The point is every skill is centered around building for someone like freelance, I feel it makes more sense to establish as a company and provide support and build products. There are market places though it is tough, it is achievable. The Covid taught me alot about fulltime employment. Now I would rather much build something and provide support, the business of programming and no longer the artisan aspect. If you get my drift. 4 Likes |

Henrymorre: pls, don't confuse the guy...u can't get d new version of AMD system for that price range... the cheap AMD system re not meant for programming... it is better for him to settle for core i3 or core i5 as LordPherule said.... I used d former AMD system and I can categorically tell u that it is not good for programming... To get d new Version of ÀMD system u will ve a budget of 150k+ for fairly used...

philip0906: Because I'm not money inclined, I cannot take a 3k$ job? Well, there's no place too small to learn. You wouldn't know what it meant to me to meet young dev as myself selfless pushing for solutions for the general public. It's not always about the money. I do these stuffs not just for the money, I enjoy doing it and I will go any length to get it done. Cheers. 1 Like |

It all depends on the areas and experiences levels. Though most of these flexible jobs are not really stable, but they pay well. Meanwhile, do you know you can open a functioning GTBank Account at your convenience, simply by dialing the USSD code *737*0# on your mobile phone! No BVN required. |

Phyde: I understand you perfectly, I currently don't have any leads this year, what I applied and got is for a project starting next year.

myles16: Are you minding him? The reason we have so many developers in India is because of their population. Even if 1per cent of their population are programmers, that's a whopping 14 million! ![]() ![]() Nothing to worry about though, with such a population, they'll have more than enough problems to solve in their country. |

Life itself is unstable. . The truth is if you are good at what you do, even when the instability(storm) comes you will be able to weather the storm. . By the way if that your programmer friend is excellently good, he can choose to move to another organization that will pay better salary. . |

No. It's the environment the programmer found himself... Maybe a newbie . A friend whom is a programmer have many clients from retail to bigger firm. company could not afford to pay him because of his worth... He's on on contract. Even you employed him,people must call him for program...something's u lodged him in a hotel. Something's, depending on the program, he charges between N100k to N4m despite this amount ,he code his program so that monthly or yearly your pay for licence renewal. Troubleshooting is another money. This guy is into the deals for more than 27 years. Programming work is very difficult.... Tell the guy to advitised online... My guy normal write program for people outside Nigeria. |
