Sio kwa ubaya, but honestly I think you have to have it in you; or at least have the curiosity and interest in you. If you don't you don't. Almost all, no in fact I think ALL great developers (or who I say are very good) I have come across the world over are autodidacts. (and they use semi colons, always have the correct number of opening and closing brackets and lots of punctuations in their sentences :p )On 19 February 2014 09:38, Peter Muchemi <pmuchemi@gmail.com> wrote:
Having been a small time professional coder for nearly a decade, the main issue i have struggled with is getting helping hands who can deliver on time and budget and i retain a small net income (client fees - coders salary). It takes over 12 months minimum to get one on a project without fulltime hand holding.So i decided to take the bull by the horns and become a lecturer of coders. I am taking some 4th years. when i demanded that since majority want to use php/mysql, they get into frameworks, scm(git), learn a bit of css and js(angular,jquery) 90% protested thats its too much work. they need time to pass units and interestingly the software development unit is not examinable!

Me thinks there was a time being a programmer was cool, and there were a flood of "coders" who did it because of that reason, not because they had it in them; at that time php, mysql, java were the most popular language. So there a million people who can "do" php, joomla, mysql, wordpress - till you give them a project and ... shock! From my experience there are very few actual programmers.On 18 February 2014 19:12, Nicholas Loki <lokimwenga@gmail.com> wrote:Just wondering why that is, since it looks like there's a ready market for these skills?On Tue, Feb 18, 2014 at 4:29 PM, Jangita Nyagudi <jangita.nyagudi@gmail.com> wrote:
Really good stuff. Python programmers (especially with Django) are few and far between!On 18 February 2014 15:45, Adam Nelson <adam@varud.com> wrote:
There is also a Python meetup some time next week at iHub (Tuesday or Thursday probably) - I'll be announcing it shortly once I find a speaker (anybody want to present?).We ask who's hiring and who's looking at the beginning of the meetup, although last time, only one person was looking for a position.I find that presenting at Python meetups is the best way to attract talent.
