Big Brother
 Big brother is watching. Start tracking progress in select MOOCs by providing regular updates and I'll respond with my professional opinion. Encouragement via constructive criticism is the modus operandi. You do the work and I make suggestions on how to improve upon your output. #GIGO, garbage in ... garbage out. .. so keep it clean. AW has a zero tolerance policy on all kinds of academic misconduct and/or fraudulent work. Nothing personal but it's my job to ensure your shortcomings doesn't impact the next guy's aspirations. AW rocks a nights of the round table (there's no head of the table but there is a king), 3 musketeers (all for one and one for all), and 300 (a well prepared team can defy all odds) approach to learning and earning. II'm not ashamed to admit I don't know something, it's the first step towards learning something new. If you need help, just ask any member that's available and yes that includes me, it's really fun to help each other. All opinions are welcome and there are no stupid questions, only foolish answers. Best Regards, Principal/Director |
Summer is here ...
 https://plus.google.com/106785287572658366104/posts/Wp1yKoN4dcg The link above contains learning recommendations from age 3+ to age 18+ (all are free but valuable). Alternatively, engage in a hackathon. Improve the valuation of your experience by choosing activities that contribute to your community within your LGA/City/State/Nigeria. Sample hackaton: https://njstempathways.org/liberty-hackathon/ Or a code camp for children. Value the knowledge sought by providing android/kindle tablets to your ward ( laptops for age 16+). Sample camp: https://www.bluemts.com.au/news/code-camp-summer-blue-mountains-launch/ It doesn't matter that the samples are not within Nigeria. Part of the challenge is choosing programs available around you that aim to achieve above in a cost effective manner. And with android phones selling for as low as N10,000 ($28 USD), you can afford to get inspired :) Miscellaneous ... Table below shows 1 out of 7 pending bug/typo fixes, |

Interesting questions

AppsWorkforce (Strictly Online)
 Our flagship course remains the MIT one introductory programming course. There are also code academy courses that provide an easier introduction to programming. Students who failed the o level math questions were turned away from the lab, there are no such checks in this strictly online edition. If you're struggling with the mathematical aspects of programming (which in all honesty is minimal compared to other engineering fields) please indicate your challenges in your course tracks and we'll provide you with additional resources to catch up with your courses.
If you completed the MIT python 1 course already, then UC Berkley is the next course for you. If you've completed this course as well then please escalate this as it's an indication that you're seriously ahead of the pack and can make significant contributions to project work.
If you have years of programming experience in courses unrelated to the ones we track, list those accomplishment on your CV/Resume, however your progress as a member will be measured only by your performance in the courses as well as activities we track. Best of luck in all your educational/career endeavors, curriculum suggestions are listed freely on this site but I strongly hope to see membership numbers grow online. There's a huge demand for capable software developers and our goal remains to help you meet that demand. Cheers, Segun |
