Evince Academy is back! We're starting our programming fundamentals next week and we have slot for only 5 people at this time. Our targets are 15 - 19 year old peeps, in final year secondary school or 100L/200L in higher institutions.

As a result, the requirements are simply that you own a laptop, and know how to use it well. It helps if you have any programming knowledge. We also prefer students who are good in mathematics. There will be lots of take away work and you can't complete course without full participation.

Duration: Every Wednesday for 3 weeks, 3-5 PM starting Wednesday 28th September.

Venue: Evince Nigeria Limited,
Plot 2 Block 67 Basheer Sh*ttu Street,
Magodo GRA Phase 2
Magodo Lagos.

Send an email to [email protected], we will send you an invite if we can accommodate you. And if anyone has a place nearby that we can use to scale this out so that more people can participate, kindly contact me.

Yea, it's free!

Announcing Evince Academy 2015 Q4 and it's all about coding. We have only 5 slots for the last quarter and its a programming internship. It's free so our requirements are tough:
You have to be less than 18 (Ideally 15-17), pre-school (higher institution) or in 100L and 200L, own a PC, love mathematics and be quite creative.
If this sounds like you and you feel geek rocks, send a mail with the title "Evince Academy" to [email protected] telling us all the cool things you like doing.
Did I remember to say it's free?

At Evince, we provide an environment that produce great developers. If you want to join our next batch of software interns (we only accept a minimum of 6 month IT) starting October/November, send your CV to [email protected].
Quick tip: You stand a very good chance of passing our interview if you know one programming language at least (c, c++, python, java, c #, erlang). You stand a better chance if you are comfortable on Linux.
Consider joining Evince academy if your IT is due sometime in the future.
Who better to tell you the benefits than those who experienced our internship? Meet the evincerated on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/vsearch/f?type=all&keywords=Evince&orig=GLHD&rsid=&pageKey=oz-winner&trkInfo=&search=Search

All talents are belong to us!
Evince software academy (intern edition) moves into phase 2 next month and our doors are open once again. A lot has changed since.
We've applied to be a coursera (www.coursera.org) learning hub and will start our meetup soon, for this purpose we'll be throwing up our doors open to the public who are interested in software development and music production.
Did I hear you say "Music Production"?, right. Our next product releases include some interesting media thingy and we also welcome interns who are brewing a music production career. Our prerequisites remain the same, in school or pre-school, in love with learning new things.
[email protected] is still your friend.

We seek programmers who are getting ready for a 6-month to 1 year IT program.
At Evince Nigeria Limited, we offer a great IT experience; actually what we offer is casting you into the big blue ocean with a lifeguard who drinks Pina Colada all day long...on rare occasions he looks up to see how you're drowning :).
We want folks who already write more than hello world in any programming language (python, c, c++, c #, java, lua, perl, scalar...). We place a lot of value on passion, attitude and the ability to learn.
To be in a better standing, you may want to send me an email ([email protected]) and I'll share some outlines with you so you can prepare for a chat or phone call, the outlines are basic stuff we think all our developers should know.
Our current interns have built applications involving payment integration, cloud programming on Amazon web services and Google cloud APIs, SharePoint programming and distributed version control systems. Their ongoing education now includes Cryptography, Character recognition, NoSQL databases, Linux scripting and so much great stuff. As you can see, you must love learning to sign up.
Remuneration? We pay our developers more than the government pay youth corp members and we throw in performance bonuses 2 times in a year.
Qualification: If you're on IT for 6 months+ starting from February/March you should drop me a line at [email protected]. Remember, we value lots of enthusiasm. If you want to be "ready" for a future IT spot, we'll gladly help you prepare, it's in line with our corporate mission.

Initiating... Evince Academy (For teen programmers).
In line with the "developing local expertise" portion of our mission, we're starting the Evince Academy, our very own version of "La Masia" next month.
Just like the Barca youth academy, our targets include young school leavers; yes, those guys who just finished secondary education and need to wait a while for the results or those young guys in nearby colleges who have some spare time.
Qualifications? Maximum age is 18, must have a laptop to write codes on, good in mathematics, very good in mathematics really.
Applications are limited and you must prove yourself; of course, we have some "read and try at home" that must be defended afterwards. Again our office is in Akoka Yaba so you must consider the distance too.
Let the applications flow into [email protected] with the subject "Evince Academy".

Happy new year everyone, I wish Nigeria takes the world on in 2014. Unleash your potentials, apply your minds, do new things.

It's not all about software development, its about innovation..
We're shopping for entry level sales executives, those very web savvy ones. If you have a Facebook or Google+ account, and have ever wondered how Google makes money, you may be right for this job.
Review/share the JD below and send a mail to [email protected] if you're interested. If we are, we'll reach out. Remember it's entry level and the highest qualification is NYSC.

Summary
The perfect hires would be vibrant and contemporary young people who want to unleash their potentials. The job involves a lot of learning, mostly self-paced and this forms a major part of individual scorecards; sourcing and analyzing data, ability to sell and taking initiatives form most of the remaining performance indications.

Job Description
Utilizing social networking opportunities to facilitate sales and increase brand awareness, identifying opportunities for sales, market/industry analysis, handling sales inquiries, developing and implementing sales strategic plans, actively participating in product training and reporting. The role includes representing the company with the utmost professionalism and forecasting/budgeting.

Qualifications/Requirements
No prior experience is required; we'll pay more attention to excellent written, presentation, communication & organizational skills. We're big on ability to take initiative and we encourage this especially where no documented solution exists.
Willingness and ability to learn is one of the biggest qualifications, ability to negotiate, influence and persuade is desirable and should be developed. An analytical candidate with excellent problem-solving skill and ability to work with little supervision is desirable.

It's boxing day and Evince Nigeria Limited has closed its door for the year (6 days ago really), but we'll resume early 2014 and continue our innovation trend.
Our developers (interns? not anymore) have been up to a lot of great stuff and they had some codes and Christmas bonuses to show for it; from payment integration to Amazon web services and Google cloud API we're doing some cool stuff and well, occasional boring stuff to keep body and soul together. Our guys were almost ASUU proof during the last strike though we're glad things are back to normal.
RnD and production work continues in early 2014 starting with character recognition and video processing technologies. If you're on IT for 6 months+ starting from February/March and you have something to add to the team, drop me a line at [email protected]. Remember we value devs who have risen way above hello world in any language and have lots of enthusiasm. If you want to be "ready" for a future IT spot, we'll gladly help you prepare.

Today I point to some excellent programming resources on the internet, so that we can start moving from basic to intermediate level programming.
1. Coursera: gives you the opportunity to join thousands of students from all over the world. The lecture is also delivered by Dr.s and Professors of international universities...for free. www.coursera.org.
2. Another interesting online resource is www.showmedo.com which offer tutorials in many programming languages (programming only).

Happy coding.

We are a social entrepreneurship company that partners with the top universities in the world to offer courses online for anyone to take, for free. We envision a future where the top universities are educating not only thousands of students, but millions. Our technology enables the best professors t...
