Things U Must Know In Programming by one9jeria: 5:00am On May 06, 2011
can any one tell me the advanced computer programme like cisco,java,oracle, software dev.,web design management etc that give d highest independence ie u can make money with from the confort of ur room

It appears you are a bit confused about these technologies.

Cisco is out of it, but then again cisco is not a programming language. Cisco offers certifications like CCNA, CCIE, CCNP etc, that make you proficient in network configuration and administration and stuff like that.

Oracle has to do with Databases . . . software engines that make it possible to store large amounts of data for applications(whether web or desktop applications) to access. Oracle offers certifications too.

Software development can be in any form whether for the web(things like facebook), the desktop(things like windows media player), mobile(things like games on phones). All these are softwares and in other to make any of them you need to know a programming language and write code in that language into something like notepad.

My best bet for making money from your room(i.e being independent) is using Java to write mobile applications which you can upload to the App stores of the device's manufacturer you were writing the application for. For example, Android, iPhone and BlackBerry have App stores where developers can upload applications in a 70/30 percent kinda fashion. You get to specify how much  a potential person would have to pay for your app. But beware, you've got to do a lot of study and write lots of code to become good enough to write an application that is really useful and really good for someone to pay you for. Goodluck.

@one9jeria You still have a long way to go. The best thing is; don't think about making profit (money) for now. Learn a technology because you have passion for it, later, money will come.

Please i want to know the first or an advice on the first programming language to start with. Thxs
Re: Things U Must Know In Programming by Zeta(m): 1:01am On May 24, 2011
Java. There are free books on the web. I recommend the Java book by Professor David J. Eck. For beginning Java programming please don't read 'How to program, by Deitel, Deitel"
Re: Things U Must Know In Programming by kodewrita(m): 6:59pm On May 27, 2011
Since you speak english, start well.


Focus on python (I am a php programmer but I can tell you that if I had to start all over again, I would never have left Python at the initial stage).

y do u suggest python?

My programming experience was fraught with many starts and stops because i kept coming up against all manner of obstacles related to the nature of the language (learning how to configure apache with mysql and php was really irritating. Thank God for WAMP and XAMPP). Doing all that plumbing delayed the pleasure and also having to navigate all that syntax(sigils at the back of variables among other things) at the beginning.

I coded python initially and left because someone convinced me then that php was way cooler and besides I didnt have a clear idea how to get it on the web.

Looking back I can say that coding python always had this ease/feeling of power associated with it (mind you, doing funny stuff with arrays or magic class functions in PHP makes me feel smart).

During my youth service, i had to handle the readouts from a VSAT and manually copy some parts out into an excel sheet. While poking around, i found out the system came with Python bundled. I picked it up and created something worthwhile(using python regexes) before going home. It felt really geeky and good.

Even when you dont totally know the syntax, you can guess (thats another reason I liked Java back then but am real rusty now) what the right thing is (PHP is meant to be that simple too but I havent gotten the spirit completely though the flow comes and goes sometimes).

I still think the official python tutorial is the best introduction: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/
