WeThinkCode will be offering 300 fully-sponsored learnerships for its NQF-5 programming course in 2021.

Applications are now open for the two-year full-time programme, which is held at WeThinkCode’s Johannesburg and Cape Town campuses.

“Each year WeThinkCode receives over 50,000 applications from young South Africans looking for a start in the growing technology sector, which is crying out for digital skills, particularly in the area of programming and software development,” the company said.

Are this lot still teaching C++?
If so, ew. C is better, no one writes decent OO code anyway - not even I do.

Functional/procedural FTW

 

[Jet-Fighter7700]

no java based courses?
also coders are imo mostly sefl taught,

you either enjoy dealing with abstract concepts or you don't,
and those that do, usually immigrate first chance they get.

Hey. There nothing wrong with my C++ programming skills. They just non existent 99% of the time. Arduino does not use much in any case....

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

I still code in Turbo Pascal

Per month?

I still code in Turbo Pascal

My daughter is coding in school on Delphi, grade 10 - 12, which basically stem from Turbo Pascal.
I had Turbo Pascal in school, St8 - 10.

Plenty of opportunities for C++ devs out there.

A lot of companies are trying to get away from Java - because Oracle.

There most certainly are

Pascal/Turbo Pascal is an ALGOL 68 descendant right?

I enjoyed and picked up Basic quickly... probably because it was basic

I struggled a bit more with Pascal though

This was 17yrs ago

You one of those okes that that I swear at that creates files with 10K+ lines of code?

Not useful without free land. Free land restores your dignity

As opposed to people who bundle 5 functions worth of data and methods in an object and then 5 years down the line no one is brave enough to touch it because a lot of functionality is baked into it and you have a dependency chain longer than the Nile...

No I do write OO code, but I treat it like salt in food - use as needed. Much the same with functions - if it is not something that is used more that once. I will write it as a function, if it is used more than once, I will consider OO, but I will try to solve the issue using functions.

Also programming brevity is a thing.

no info on what the course is? now you got the peanut gallery out here arguing that <insert garbage language> is better than <insert other garbage language> when we all know that php is the greatest language the world will ever see.

Test 1 was just a memory test and test 2 is: http://robozzle.com/

Very bait headline.

If you cheated in test 1 by doing the whiteboard on screen trick you're filtered out 100%.
