waaaaa, things change a lot over time - this developer business is best suited for the young minds, when one gets old inachosha haraka sana

I would like to believe no one does all that stuff. people only specialize so that for example, a guy wandering in the python space up there is often ignorant of the rest of the programming world.

The sms part should be straight forward, especially nowadays, I see several SMS API’s available and its just a matter of connecting to them, when I started out with SMS application we relied on a gsm modem, or those old siemens feature phones then one would have to send AT commands to communicate with the same, then graduated to things we used to call SMS gateways to connect directly to the mobile providers.

Back to the application, if you want a set up that can scale, go back to the traditional way, have a good db design, a solid data access layer then build a REST API to act as the conduit between your clients and backend, that way the client can be a website, an android or ios app - separate those concerns and you will have a robust setup.

True kuna Twilio which has a million tutorials from their devs on their site
in Kenya we have Africa’s Talking https://africastalking.com

@Deorro bro unashtua bana where do I start

[Okwonkwo]

With a java backgroud, if you can afford, get Oracle certification, kitunguu itanukia proper. Another lucrative field you can explore is Salesforce programming. Also take a point to learn C#, not so much different from Java… and enter the moneyed world of Sharepoint, Navision etc.

ukiogopa hizo take a detour and learn python.

A fullstack developer is one who is fully familiar with each layer in a development stack, be it in web or in mobile. This doesn’t mean that being able to build a frontend and backend is enough to become a fullstack dev. The entire technical stack of any software architecture ranges from it’s client side, server side, network layers, hosting environments etc.

So basically the fullstack dev needs to understand the nitty-gritty that goes into APIs in the application layer, business logic of the application, data modeling aspects, unit tetsting and user experience. All of this needs to be balanced with consumer & business needs. Some fullstack developers also perform devops duties depending on the roles they play in a project.

Haya MI naomba any criticism and advice kwasababu nikiomba either Najua zitakuja zote mbili… Haya peasant hapa… Ever since I joined this forum nilijuana na" virtual friends’’ kama @amun and Admean @Deorro hao ndio Nmekuwa nikibug waniokolee Niivishe coding…from the hello world to something like a real world app.

So according to my interest and curiosity ya software I wished to develop, nilijipata nmechagua javafx and nmeikalia kiasi Hadi I made an app and peasant akanukisha kitunguu for the very first time…
Shida iko hapa, I learnt something that I was advised its obsolete and singeacha katikatii before I could finish the project I had.it was a desktop app

Am a self taught so Nategemea YouTube na nguguu Ofkos… And I’d really wish to make a career out of this hobby or like… Now my question is this kwa wale pros mnaelewa market and stuff… What languages should I learn and combine with what technologies and also what kind of projects can I try developing and by mid next year niwe naeza tafta kajob hivi knowing that niko relevant and good skills…

I had plans to Start Java ee, maven and spring… I fear I might make a slow choice like I did starting with javafx…

Kindly Saidieni na idea and mjue ninyinyi ntapresentia my final project namnitaftie kazi.
Challenge accepted! I

Complete amateur questions since we’re here: QT development. What do I need to know before I dive into it? For some reason I want to make a BB10 app na it was recommended. Again, as a lazy wannabe programmer I want to do reverse app engineering for ios. What prior knowledge do I need for that too?

QT you need to learn proper C and C++. iOS, you need to know the ins and outs of Objective C and/or Swift and the inner workings of Xcode and other tooling used to build iOS apps.
