| Should I learn react or vue for frontend? Posted: 29 Oct 2020 01:14 AM PDT I am fairly new at web development and was considering to learn frontend. Which framework should I proceed with? [link] [comments] | ||
| Petition to have Outlook banned from the internet Posted: 29 Oct 2020 12:07 PM PDT I'm an email dev and I want to kill myself constantly because of Outlook. I think the only logical thing to do is to wipe it and everything associated with it off of the internet and walk away. It's like dragging a dead body up a mountain just so you can bury it at the top. Let's just cut our losses, give it a proper burial where we are, and move on. I'm going to go back to bashing my head through this wall for the rest of the day while trying to code this email using 1995 code. Outlook... You truly, truly suck a lot. P.s. I hope there's an Outlook dev on here. You need to know this is the worst product of all time. Do everyone a favor and rebuild from scratch or burn the thing to the ground. All you do is cause headaches. Thank you. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 29 Oct 2020 06:41 AM PDT I am relatively new to web development. While I have been playing around with Html,CSS, and Javascript and python/django since 2015 I was never serious about it. My professional track at the time was more akin to analytics so I stuck with more python/R. I started getting into web development seriously this year, just figured it would be neat to make cool tools on the web and perhaps slowly develop it into a side hustle. BUT WOW! Coding for web dev is so much different than coding in analytics. I'll follow along with tutorials and read documentation and feel like a genius ("querySelector, that's easy.", "making a server with node.js just required a port and req, res - how simple!", "rendering websites in Django is so simple! Just make a model, call it in my views, and link it in my urls.") but when it comes time to start coding on my own it's like I'm lost on a raft in the ocean. I've made workflows, wire-sketches, and development plans to keep me on track but still no luck. I have made some skeletons of websites but it's just hard to figure out next steps. Is this a newbie thing or do I have ADHD for web dev? Any productivity, memorization, or learning skills this community can offer would be greatly appreciated! :) [link] [comments] | ||
| What should I do as a Front end developer being asked to do back end? Posted: 29 Oct 2020 02:35 AM PDT I am the only web developer at a UK company with a Wordpress site. They would like me to create a portal on it for hundreds of parents and children to use. So far I have used the Memberpress plugin to create a basic set up where users will only see content on the portal specific to their user type but my managers want me to add more complicated features like linking users together into families, letting users upload and manage personal documents as families, a calendar system where agents and users can book in appointments as families, a messaging system etc. I have tried to piece together other plugins for these functionalities without luck. I only have experience with HTML/CSS/JS with a bit of React and I'd like my future career path to go down a React route rather than back-end/PHP. My managers have very little understanding of web development and no concept of front-end/back-end. How do I explain to them that this is outside what I can do? Even if I ask to outsource it, I am still worried about managing the personal data of hundreds of children. Am I over-reacting and Wordpress will be fine to handle their data? [link] [comments] | ||
| How complicated do the projects on a portfolio need to be? Posted: 29 Oct 2020 05:13 AM PDT I have a few original project ideas that solve problems, but I'm worried if they will be complicated enough to put on a portfolio. I'm currently aiming to be a full stack developer and have no prior work experience. What are some examples of the types of projects that a portfolio should have? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Oct 2020 02:07 PM PDT I mostly use React, NextJS specifically. What would be the best way to test a web app or website made with this? [link] [comments] | ||
| How much should I charge my client? Posted: 29 Oct 2020 04:13 PM PDT I have a client who would like for me to make a website for her business. She has a lot of money... Anyway, right now I'm still learning how to code. I just finished learning html, and right now I'm learning CSS... I won't be able to code and build her a fully functional website in time. So I'm going to use WordPress to make her a website. She doesn't care.... If she wants to pay me hourly, how much should I charge her? For WordPress If she wants to pay a fixed fee, how much should I charge her? [link] [comments] | ||
| Is there a high level 3rd Party payments system? Posted: 29 Oct 2020 01:30 PM PDT I'm currently using Stripe on my website to accept monthly and one-time payments. It's such a hassle to do back-end code and testing it, particularly for every time the APIs are updated. Is there some sort of 3rd party website or Angular plugin that can handle the whole payment system instead of me having to code and maintain my own? Like a Shopify for payments?

| Headless CMS. Why in layman’s terms. Posted: 29 Oct 2020 05:07 AM PDT I recently built a monolithic Wordpress build for a large very popular enterprise company with a huge amount of traffick. All js and css concatenated and serving with two server calls, all content on a cdn. Fast to build, admins love the back-end. Can someone help me understand what advantages does a headless cms bring without technical words? Do pages load faster? (How much faster, because our site is as fast as most every enterprise site out there) Is it faster or easier to develop? I do a lot of front-end and can cut up a responsive template to match artwork in a day. With custom fields and post types, I can dial in the back end for advanced data types quickly and easily. Not trying to shade headless. Really trying to learn if this is something I should sell to clients? [link] [comments] | ||
| What is the best way to prospect new clients as a freelance web developer? Posted: 29 Oct 2020 10:27 AM PDT So I've been working for nearshore outsourcing companies and would like to move to a more direct approach with companies - what is the best way to prospect and reach out to potential new clients?

| Escape key press event not recognized when exiting a fullscreen html element Posted: 29 Oct 2020 05:04 PM PDT I have a video object in the DOM that goes fullscreen after hitting a button click event. Press the F key works for toggle fullscreen, but pressing the escape key is never being detected `` ``` What is going wrong here? Should Keydown and Keypress be different? [link] [comments] | ||

| Is Angel List just a scam platform? Posted: 29 Oct 2020 04:35 PM PDT Currently in College to complete my Bachelors in Computer Science, I have 1 year left then I'll be finished so I want to look for a internship/junior job to earn some money and gain some experience. Every job on Angel list that requires only 1 or 2 years of experience pays $0 for salary and $0 for equity. Has anyone had any success finding a decent job with angel list or can I just write the site off as one giant meme. Also are there any sites or companies you can share that offer decent remote for junior employees. Currently looking into joining Reverature if I have to but they told me I need to be 1 or 2 months left in my degree before they'll hire me. [link] [comments] | ||
| Need to have a dev environment on windows 10 Posted: 29 Oct 2020 05:27 AM PDT Normally I use Mac and Ubuntu but for work I need to have my web development environment on a windows 10 machine as well. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Oct 2020 03:39 PM PDT I kinda get why front-end frameworks are helpful for big projects. From what I was able to grasp learning React is that the components structure makes for easier code readability and organization of the front-end, also helps with updating component states and continuously updated data. But, why do people make it seem like you just can't make even a small website without one? Am I missing something or is using react/vue for a static website just absurd? Why would you go through that hassle for a static website? Please let me know what am I missing. [link] [comments] | ||
| Opinion on how to architect algorithm-heavy web-app? Posted: 29 Oct 2020 03:23 PM PDT I am working on a web application that is very algorithm heavy. Some of the app functionality involves running numerical optimization, another part involves running some machine learning stuff, another part involves displaying results as part of a UI. My question: what is your first thought as to how you would architect such a project? Would you standardize around something like Node and develop each algorithm as part of a package? Would you develop each algorithm in whatever language is the easiest/most applicable (i.e., Java, python, C++, etc) and then just Frankenstein everything together? Curious to get some thoughts.

| Dev to Business Translation Help - succinctly describing a "Brittle Codebase" to a client Posted: 29 Oct 2020 03:14 PM PDT I was asked today to think about how we can translate "the code base is a horrifically brittle legacy application that is difficult to modify without ripple effects" to something we can relay to clients, say in the context of a marketing conversation or corrective action report. I take it that this is supposed to be shorter than an elevator pitch, more of a phrasing than an explanation. I think the core of it is we don't want to tell the client that it is "brittle", which is the term we use in house most often. Part of this is tempering client expectations for adding features to the codebase without significant refactor work first. Note: this simply a request for descriptive terms to translate our language to business friendly language, we know what's needed to de-brittle-ify everything, and it's in progress.

| How to say no to client requests Posted: 29 Oct 2020 02:35 PM PDT TL;DR - Working with my first client on a complete website redesign and delivered the final product to them; now person in charge of updating the content is asking for wide reaching changes (not agreed to initially) that I'm not comfortable making. How do I gently say no? Long version I recently started freelancing and asked the pastor at my parent's church if I could recreate/redesign their church website (the old one was outdated and did not get updated regularly). We had a nice Skype conversation where he basically told me that they just wanted to have a little bit of control to be able to update the content of the website regularly (i.e. add upcoming events, adjust information about visiting, etc.) and that from a design point of view I had full range to do what I thought best. I asked about the current website logo and colors and he said not to worry about them. Since they were my first client, I wanted to treat this as a beta client situation and said I wouldn't charge for the project as I wanted the experience and to get my first job under my belt. Also, since it was my parent's church I felt like it was a nice thing to do to bring their website into the 21st century. So I spend the next couple of weeks creating the website and getting it wired up to a CMS (so they can make their updates). Along the way I'm deploy the website and having the pastor review it to make sure he likes where it is going. The whole time he tells me he loves it and that it looks great and that he appreciates the work I'm doing. Since I was given full range to design it, I created a new logo and color scheme and used those in the new website. At the end of the project, I have a Skype call with the pastor and he loves the finished design. I explain to him how to update the website in the CMS and he's super pleased. We get the website DNS records updated and the website is now live! Hurray! Now, the pastor has passed off website administration to a member of the church (cool, that makes sense as he is super busy). She's been going through the website asking for some minor updates to things she doesn't have access to in the CMS. I'm totally happy to make the small updates. Then, yesterday she asks to change the logo and color scheme of the website and asks to update several of the main images. All this is not accessible in the CMS because I don't want the church to mess around with the broad design of the website but just update the content. I don't feel comfortable with these updates as I feel like it will degrade the finished product that I delivered to them and goes against what the pastor and I agreed to. I've sent the email to the pastor to explain my concerns but I'm not entirely sure how to proceed. I don't want to be a jerk and not help them make updates they want, but I also think they'll make the website look bad. Additionally, I'm doing this all for free so I don't want to continue to make updates to something I felt like was a finished, delivered projects. But, I also don't want to leave them hanging and have a bad reputation after my first gig. What's the best way to proceed? [link] [comments] | ||
| Question about Saas free/paid membership... Posted: 29 Oct 2020 02:18 PM PDT This might sound like a dumb questions but if you have a Saas product and you offered different membership plans (free, starter, pro), how would you actually implement that in your code so that members on free accounts don't have access to your paid features? In the most simplest scenario, can you just have a field Or are there libraries out there that you can use to implement all of this? [link] [comments] | ||
| How do I improve my front-end design skills as a back-end developer? Posted: 29 Oct 2020 10:27 AM PDT Since the very beginning, I tried to improve my back-end skill. This lead me to work on back-end for the majority of my time in uni. Even when I had to do front-end work, all I would do is use some basic HTML and slap in some basic css which made almost all of the websites look like it was from the 90's. In all the group projects I worked on during uni, I was handed most of the back-end work since my teammates don't trust me enough to make the layout or even add padding to a button without messing up. I read quite a few articles regarding design but I just can't seem make any website look good. Now that I am ready to apply for jobs, I can't help but feel that this is going to be a huge problem as some of projects I am preparing for my portfolio has terrible UI/UX design. How do I improve this? Do I simply read more tutorials and do more front-end work? or is there another way which could help me understand these concepts? [link] [comments] |
