    Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 04:12 AM PST

    Due to a growing influx of questions on this topic, it has been decided to commit a monthly thread dedicated to this topic to reduce the number of repeat posts on this topic. These types of posts will no longer be allowed in the main thread.

    Many of these questions are also addressed in the sub FAQ or may have been asked in previous monthly career threads.

    Subs dedicated to these types of questions include r/cscareerquestions/ for general and opened ended career questions and r/learnprogramming/ for early learning questions.

    A general recommendation of topics to learn to become industry ready include:

    HTML/CSS/JS Bootcamp

    Version control

    Automation

    Front End Frameworks (React/Vue/Etc)

    APIs and CRUD

    Testing (Unit and Integration)

    Common Design Patterns (free ebook)

    You will also need a portfolio of work with 4-5 personal projects you built, and a resume/CV to apply for work.

    Plan for 6-12 months of self study and project production for your portfolio before applying for work.

    What's the difference between a free ssl and a $60 ssl

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 01:06 PM PST

    I assume there's better encryption with the paid one, but I was wondering if there's any more perks or if a free one should even be used

    Giving away some new placeholder logos for all the web developers out there

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 04:52 AM PST

    Thought I would give away a package of placeholder logos that I just designed, which I think will be helpful for a lot of designers.

    The set contains 24 different logos that are designed according to the most recent trends. Each logo is provided as a separate logo symbol, or paired with a font, both as a transparent PNG and SVG.

    Enjoy: placeholderlogo.com

    Looking for some feedback on a browser extension that I made

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 10:11 AM PST

    Hey there, Im Jes.

    I made Shakespeare, a Firefox extension. Well to keep it simple, here's a situation. You're in a formal online group or thread, and there is this one person annoying the hell outta you. You want to curse, but that wouldn't be quite the gentleman's etiquette, and that's where Shakespeare comes to play.

    Shakespeare gives you access to well, William Shakespear's personal insult vocabulary and now, instead of calling someone an a**hole, you can be a true ancient english gentleman and call him/her a `spleeny fat-kidneyed pignut`. Shakespeare has hundreds of phrases like these, that will be sure to give anyone a chuckle.

    In all seriousness, this is my first ever browser extension. I wanted to release it for Chrome too, but being a highschooler from a developing country means that I didnt have the money to become a Chrome dev. This add-on is coded in HTML/CSS/JS. You can download it over at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shakespeare-insults/. The code for this is hosted on my github repo - https://github.com/JeswinSunsi/Shakespeare.I apologize for the CSS Spaghetti, but that's the only thing that worked for me. Contributions are welcome.

    If you liked this extension, please do leave a star on the repo, it would mean a lot.. Thank you!

    How to integrate airbnb api (making my own channel manager)?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 08:10 AM PST

    Hello,

    I'm currently working on a property management website (managing 20-30 properties) and my client would like to have airbnb's calendar and pricing unified in our website. I've checked https://www.airbnb.com/partner and seen that they're currently not allowing requests. Is there an alternative?

    I've seen https://github.com/zxol/airbnbapi and am wondering if anyone has used it / if it's safe to use / might have airbnb block our partner account lol

    Any tips/resources for transitioning from Rails to Node? (I have a lot of frontend but minimal backend JS experience)

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 02:21 PM PST

    In particular are there any comprehensive books about backend JavaScript architectural patterns/antipatterns?

    My vague understanding is the biggest rails vs node difference is that node is asynchronous (lots and lots of callbacks), and rails isn't.

    Plenty of experience with npm and webpack under my belt, but mostly for client-side SPAs.

    Have gotten to the point where I want to build out a backend for an idea I have; want to look at node because (my perception is that) node hooks into serverless solutions better.

    I've built monoliths in rails with postgres; I'd like to start trying to understand microservices, workers, serverless/lambdas, NoSQL etc and their respective relevance in 2020. (Everything is always changing so quickly and I feel like my foundations have gotten dated.)

    I'd call myself an intermediate frontend-centric dev; what's the best way to start jumping into backend in 2020? Thank you!!!

    online freelancers, how did you your first gig?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 03:03 AM PST

    title: online freelancers, how did you get your first gig?

    i am in the process of building my portfolio (and "enhancing" my "web apps for showcase), but i've been wondering since there are a lot of freelancing (and a lot of people doing that too) how do i get about signing up to website, do i need to pick one website and stick to it; or do i need to sign up to multiple websites.

    i live in a third world country, and i don't really have a lot of expanses since i live with my parents (it's a norm here) so i'm not gonna charge a lot in my first year; but i all i hear is that people spending 1 to 2 years and not getting a job on websites like Upwork; and my problem is that i don't have any one that i know interested in building a website let alone paying me to do it (there are 3 or 4 businesses who have websites in the city that i live in)

    so what is your advice to a fellow who want to start freelancing?

    Best service to send money to users?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 02:41 PM PST

    The general scenario I'm trying to achieve is this: user A pays money to our platform (simple enough, can be achieved with Stripe or something similar), then the platform sends money to user B.

    It's the sending part I can't seem to find a clear solution for. Has anyone built a system where you need to send money to users? Either directly to their bank or a card.

    Does anyone have any good resources on creating sections of a website in html/css/javascript

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 01:39 PM PST

    Preferably I'd like to be able to put divs(or anything really) into certain sections of a website in kind of like a drag and drop manner, but with code. Sites like wordpress and google sites allow you to drag and drop sections and I'd just like to be able to place stuff wherever I want with html. Let me know if I can clarify anything

    A kosmi clone

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 07:31 AM PST

    How complicated is building something like this? It seems like the website was made by just one dev, which made me want start something similar. Here's the link . I don't want to make money from this, just want a challenging personal project to work on.

    I am familiar with web development and have been doing projects for a while now but nothing similar to kosmi. Where should I get started?

    Thousands of dollars later...Are there better options?

    Thousands of dollars later...Are there better options?

    Hello,

    How would you go about creating a streaming service similar to beatstars.com or airbit.com ? I'm VERY ignorant to web dev and have just bought a course on Udemy to learn some very basic PHP, as my current setup is with WordPress. However, I'm not sure if there are better options than what I am using. I'm already in the hole with this setup and REALLY need some advice as far as which platform I should use. I am currently on WordPress with loads of plugins and tons of edits done by various web devs, but I'm in need of CONSTANT support, and would really be interested in migrating platforms if there are better solutions out there. My WordPress backend and frontend are both extremely slow, so I'd like to know if there are other solutions available. I've done tons of research on this topic, but WordPress was the best solution I could come up with. What are your guys' thoughts?

    Key features of the site:
    - Membership Site With Account Page
    - Music Streaming & Downloading (with download variations)
    - Realtime Audio Analyzer & Player
    - Advanced Search (Genre, Artist, Song, etc.)
    - Stripe & PayPal Checkout
    - Favorites/Add To Favorites

    I've shown everything below on my current live website, but I am wondering how you'd go about doing this yourself. I'm tired of spending money on web developers as I'd really just want to be all of my financial efforts towards advertising and marketing. Any advice would really be appreciated.

    What kind of web apps did you make when you were just starting to learn web development?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 11:43 AM PST

    I'm new-ish to the webdev field and I'm looking for project ideas that I can use to practice my skills outside of class. So far, I've spent a lot of time in frontend, mainly React (My last project was a website that generates random pieces of artwork using a museum's API). Backend is newer to me, but I've worked with Express and Mongo/Mongoose. We're starting Ruby in class soon, but definitely not ready to take on my own projects with Ruby yet.

    When is a good time to focus on the visual aspects of an app?

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 04:57 AM PST

    I'm a beginner programmer. I am not good at CSS. The problem is that whenever I'm trying to do a project I'll be switching back and forth between backend and frontend code to check if the data is getting delivered as intended but all of a sudden the delivered data is messed up on the screen looking so disgusting. So, then I have to write CSS and make it at least look better than horrible and I get frustrated as it won't go to wherever I'm thinking of it to go. Then I quit and never look back at it again like I've never even done that. My question is when should I focus on writing CSS at the start or at the end of the project. A little bit at the middle won't be a problem but components that are not willing to go where I said it to go is something I can't be patient with. I'm sorry if I'm being so noob.

    Also, I use flexbox and grid to make it easier. Even then it is a little complicated for me to put things straight.

    Edit: Project in the sense of personal projects for portfolio.

    Thank you.

    cPanel Git setup

    Posted: 01 Nov 2020 10:39 AM PST

    Hi, I'm fairly new to the webdev world, I've only made 5 websites for very small customers so far. At the moment I'm just using a shared hosting account (with cPanel), which is good enough.

    But I'm getting a little confused with all the versions of different files (you know, like index, index2, indexfinal, indexold, etc.), so I want to improve my workflow. I want to have version control, and the ability to easily test changes.

    I know that Git is great for version control, and I've been getting into that a bit. But I don't know what the actual setup should look like. I was thinking of using cPanel's built-in Git Version Control, and then work with the Atom code editor which apparently works nice with Git.

    What do you think, good idea? Or would you recommend a different kind of setup? I cannot use Netlify or Github Pages or anything like that, because the websites contain PHP and these are only for static sites.
