                         In Cameroon today many people get addicted to their smartphones, computers and other digital devices. This effect is mostly noticed on the younger polpulation this not new but can be very shocking when statics of the usage of those different device start entering. Again many youth spend their time doing almost nothing important on the web. Normaly a good part but few concentrate on it for educational purposes or business.
                      Now let first answer to one primordial question, how was internet all about in Cameroon. In 1996 internet began to be regularly mentioned in the speeches of Cameroonian officials . The project to bring the network of networks in Cameroon mentions a dull battle between three large state structures, namely the Polytechnic of Yaounde, National Informatics Centre (Cenadi) and Intelcam (International Telecommunications Company ), for the management point cm (Cameroon). Intelcam is chosen, which becomes CAMTEL (Cameroon Telecommunications) three years later .
February 1997 Cameroonian Prime Minister Peter Mafany Musonge inaugurates cm node in Yaoundé. We discovers the internet arrives in Cameroon with an American firm, ATT (http://www.att.com/).September 1997 the first private cafe moved to Douala, the Web café , the work of a Cameroonian engineer residing in the United States.March 1999 a private operator, Jean Adolphe Ngangué Nseke, installs its own antenna in Douala, with the help of Canadians.April 1999 Cameroon signed an agreement with Teleglobe (http://www.teleglobe.ca/), a Canadian company, which installs a second channel of arrival of the internet in the country inDouala. The people of the economic capital grow a sigh of relief, those who were forced to go through Yaoundé, with what it entails technical difficulties. The internet takes off in Douala.
            As we can notice internet in Cameroon was for an educational purpose, looking at all the institutions who fought for it. But today internet use has greatly increased in cameroon, since more and more people get now connected to the world wide web.
                              Also the rate of internet development in this country without the appropriate maintenance and control causes the main foundation of piracy and addiction. In Cameroon the rate or percentage of internet piracy is more than 80%....which is very critical.
                             Also internet growth in cameroon has also increase the economy of the country and also it's external relationship with other more digitally developed countries which continuously bring their aide to Cameroon. It is not to doubt that our economy really increased with internet growth.
It is also important to notice that it also mostly due to eCommerce and eMarketing that the economy has greatly 
This is mostly due to young but great eCommerce institutions such as ;
But Yeah!!!!!!!! It is true that internet really improved this few years in Cameroon .  In both advantages and disadvantages but there is still along way to go. Thanks for reading , Hope you now know all the implication of internet in Cameroon and how it has evolved over time from 20th or 21th century.

Great Great Great
a CSS mess
At my employer, there’s a quarterly tradition called Hack Day, when every team member - technical or not - spends the whole day building a side project. Here’s mine.
Tumblr media
In the past, these have ranged from coding video games to baking cookies, from building a content recommendation engine to filming a comedic mockumentary. This time around, I figured our career-content company should have a resume-builder, wherein a job applicant can input info and output any number of differently styled resumes.
The challenge? To do it all with literal styling.
Tumblr media
The <form> is designed to look like the actual company interface - I used the colors and fonts and overall aesthetic you’ll find across the site.
Tumblr media
Then, Javascript takes the data and spits out a carefully constructed HTML document, using the labels of the <input> fields to set the classes and ids of various sections and subsections.
Tumblr media
From here, at least in theory, the content can be shaped in any number of ways, simply by selecting a different stylesheet from the theme toggle. Here’s the simplest one I came up with:
Tumblr media
Actually making these stylesheets proved to be the tricky part. I had one volunteer make his own, and I was able to throw together three myself, though I admit they’re anything but perfect.
Tumblr media
In fact, I’d argue they’re outright awful.
Tumblr media
But the infrastructure is there, if I ever find myself interested again. I know the actual engineers at my job would do it differently - using React.js, a database, and so on - but as a proof of concept, I’m happy to add this to my resume. tl;dr: CSS is incredibly powerful; hack day = best day; my company should build this for real - I’d use it!

Got almost a same idea.
Great job
a sequence of events
In my ongoing effort to code the classic games, I recently set my sights on Simon, that electronic sequence challenge with colored lights and sounds.
Tumblr media
I actually wrote most of this code on the subway home from work, starting with the easy part: the wedges. Using CSS’ transform: rotate(##deg); in combination with clip-path: polygon([coordinates]); I was able to make a hexagon of equilateral triangles. Then I wrapped those in a circular parent styled with border-radius: 100%; and overflow: hidden;.
Tumblr media
Then the familiar part: randomly generating a sequence. With a list of colors, I choose a random one with our good friend Math.random(), pushing the latest into a growing array.
Tumblr media
Then it’s on to the click listener for the human player. Each time you press on a wedge, its color gets added to an “attempt” array - as long as they keep matching, you keep going… until you either get it wrong or catch up, triggering the computer’s next addition.
Tumblr media
When I got home, I moved on to the hard part: adding audio. I tried a few approaches, but the one I settled on stores a frequency in each wedge, triggering an oscillator() to play that tone whenever the human (or the game) activates the wedge.
Tumblr media
As an added bonus, that means you could easily change those values in the HTML to get different notes. By default, it’s an A major pentatonic scale.
Tumblr media
For fun, I added a “start” and “end” melody (above) to bookend gameplay, and, if you’re a musician, establish the tonic center. I suppose the sound isn’t truly necessary, but I find I do much better with the audio supplementing my visual memory. How high can you score?
tl;dr: Google Keep adds weird whitespace characters, making it a terrible code editor; 6 is better than 4; a little bit of music can really enhance gameplay

Great !
Tumblr media
Coffee, code, and a mindless show for background noise. Ready to knock this final project out. ❤
