Just to chip in a bit, I'm also the No. 1 C++ Dev (in terms of score) for the region. If you don't know much about Stackoverflow, you may want to Read My Stackoverflow story . Stackoverflow is the world's largest resource of answers to questions most software developers have encountered and will probably encounter. Disclaimer: This is by no means a true representation of facts. I must unequivocally state that there are other programmers better than myself in West Africa. You'll find out at the end of this post. This post is based from a metric obtained from Stackoverflow's Data explorer as of 28th May, 2017. And as every record, it will be broken in no time. Neither do I intend to dedicate any efforts to maintain the position, I've got better things doing. :-). But I think its not bad to brag about it after finding out. Some time this year, I became the legendary 355th Gold badge earner in C++. Being 355th Gold Badge earner meant that I was the 355t...

What do you know about currencies? We all know that you must pay the price for the tomorrow you seek. If you are just realizing that, please kneel down let me pray for you.

Talking about conversion, its quite unfortunate that, the exchange rates at the bureau-de-change of life are very volatile. I'll leave a lot to your imaginations. You must understand that the only currency you own by default, is that of time ; to ...

Just as regular internet users use Google or Bing for their internet searches, Software Developers tend to rely on results from stackoverflow.com. They just don't use the results of stackoverflow, but they ask questions there, and "experts" troop in to answer the question; A number of these experts are senior Software Engineers with decades of experience, some are language designers, some are compiler Engineers, some are members of the team that designs the specifications of programming languages; Some are the inventors of certain features used in certain languages. Any Software Developer who doesn't know Stackoverflow is either a god, or is dealing with some unpopular proprietary programming systems, or a local champion. Answering Questions on Stackoverflow will push you to your A-game in the programming language of your choice
