    My review of major Udemy instructors

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 12:25 PM PST

    Hi all,

    I've been taking Udemy courses for the last 2 years and I wanted to share some experiences. Those are my personal opinions, I'm a person with ADHD and have a different learning process than most people. I can get distracted very easily, so some teachers work better for me and some not.

    Stephen Grider: Hands down, he is the best teacher on Udemy in my opinion. Extremely clean and organized teaching style, usually no unnecessary details, supported with beautiful diagrams. He explains it like you're 5 years old, but I didn't get distracted much. On the down side, because he spends too much time explaining stuff, his projects can be quite small.

    Colt Steele: Similar to Stephen, a good teacher with clean style. But I didn't find his projects too useful for real life scenarios sometimes.

    Brad Traversy: A really good teacher, but I think he's not for beginners. When I was a beginner I really struggled, he was going way too fast without explaining much. But after I got a grip of the core concepts, he helped me a lot. He does quite big projects and constantly repeating nails the code into your head. I also used many of his projects as a boilerplate for my own projects.

    Maximilian Schwarzmüller: Although he has very high ratings, Max is a teacher I quite struggled with. He is quite disorganized in my opinion, his courses are a bit all over the place. Even with the early chapters, he can get into too many unnecessary details and I found myself completely distracted too many times. Also he is usually good explaining the UI concepts, but not so good at explaining logic sections. But he does some good projects, I used one as a boilerplate for my React Native app.

    Andrew Mead: He is knowledgeable and a good teacher, but somehow his courses didn't work for me, I got distracted later on. He's very young, maybe needs more teaching experience.

    Angela Yu: I only took her web dev bootcamp course, she is a good teacher with clean style, really organized and fun.

    Andrei Neagoie: His web dev bootcamp course was the first one that I bought. It started ok, I think was going a bit fast and I struggled especially at React sections.

    What exactly does a web developer do with the work that a web designer created?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 12:45 AM PST

    Hi everyone, Here is a link to an instagram video featuring a web designer creating the front page of a website through photoshop.

    https://www.instagram.com/p/CGxcjUpD4ei/

    Obviously this is a single image so it is not interactive whatsoever.

    I have three questions:

    1. What does a web developer do with this? Do they literally just create an entire functional website that is an exact replica of this design or what?

    2. if so, is there any way on how to just add individual functionalities to the single image itself or do they need each individual parts to it (example, the individual home logo, the individual pineapple picture, etc) and then they put everything together through code

    3. do you need to have web design skills (essentially that aesthetic eye) to get a job as a web developer in todays world? I am aware that at most companies, the web designer just creates a blueprint and hands it off to the web developer so in this case, you do not need design skills. but since todays job market is so competetive and most people apply to jobs with their portfolios, id assume the only way to get replies back is to have your portfolio stand out compared to the rest. So in this case, the design will matter a lot. So even if you dont need design skills in the real world (the designer will just do it for you), how are you suppose to get that initial job if part of your portfolio is judged based on appearance.

    Hopefully these questions make sense, would clear out a lot of confusion if I could get these answered. Thanks to everyone for any feedback I can get!

    Practice interview request

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 04:06 PM PST

    Hello I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy. I have a slightly odd request, I need to "interview" a professional web developer and I am having trouble getting emails back before my deadline is here. Would anyone on this sub be willing to have a quick 5-10 minute "coffee session" over zoom with me? This is for a bootcamp assignment and is just general questions like: "How do you like web development?" and "what got you started?" etc.

    ​

    A bit about myself, I am a professional cellist who is taking the Thinkful engineering flex program. My income took a huge hit in February so I decided to try something new and learn some new skills. I have been chugging away at learning React and other useful tidbits and I have been enjoying the coding process.

    ​

    If you are interested, let me know and we can exchange details. Thanks!

    Should I worry about bots/spammers in shared hosting?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 01:41 PM PST

    Hi everybody!

    I have a side project (a simple website where you can create "online gifts", basically sites for people with images and texts, then get the link and send that to your friends etc.).

    Now it is using authentication, you have to sign up, verify your email and only THEN you can start creating these basic sites. When you create a site, my website (written in Laravel) will save it in the database (1 site is usually 4-5 rows with few datas in sql tables).

    Someone suggested that I remove the registration/authentication, so the site would feel more smooth/would be easier to use.
    However, I am worried about bots and spammers. I have a basic shared hosting plan, so I guess too much data could mess up/shut down my database or the whole website.

    I was thinking about letting users create the site, and after completing, they should provide their email, and maybe fill out some captcha, but I don't know much about how effective this would be or if it is hard to implement.

    What would you do in my place? Any suggestions are welcome, I'm beginner in these fields (bots, authentication etc).

    Thanks in advance!

    Post title. What's a good rate for a competent freelance full stack webdev?

    The freelancer/upwork/fiverr scene exhausts me.
    How much do I have to pay to find a high level guy who can do in 2 hours what those guys do in a week? And where do you find them?

    Web sockets for different HTML pages? socket.io

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 10:19 AM PST

    Within the same node project, can i make different html pages connect to different sockets?
    I want to make a card game . So, the home page would be like a lobby, where you could choose rooms to join. Each room should have their own socket connections i guess, or shouldn't they?
    Also I'm having trouble undestanding how to implement this in an MVC structure.

    flixRemote - My first chrome extension

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 12:48 PM PST

    flixRemote

    Hey guys, I am a young web developer with knowledge of JS. I built this chrome extension over the last few months as a side project using socketIo and little bit of ReactJS.

    It is a remote for your Netflix streaming. I feel this is needed especially for people who are projecting their laptop to some screen. Me and my flatmates watched a lot of movies during quarantine and felt we needed something like this. You don't need any app for this on your phone, the remote is hosted on a website.

    This extension runs only for domains starting with https://www.netflix.com/watch/, and you do not have to worry about it while the browsing other web pages. Controls : 1. Play 2. Pause 3. Forward 4. Backward 5. Volume Up 6. Volume Down 7. Mute Toggle 8. Skip Recap/Intro 9. Change Subs 10. Change Audio 11. Change Episodes (If applicable) 12. Next Episode (If applicable) 13. Close - Move remote from your hand to your friend's by closing your connection and letting him/her enter the OTP. Point 8 -12 are not provided by alternatives available on the web.

    I really hope you guys can try it out and help me with feedbacks and suggestions.

    PS : The extension is far from perfect. But I would really like to improve it.

    How is the graphic on US Elections on The Guardian website designed?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 11:10 AM PST

    Hey web devs!

    I am occasionally visiting the US Presidential election coverage page on The Guardian (not even an American... pfttt) to get updates. I really like the way that interactive graphic is designed. Map, colors, zooming to state and county level and of course, the hovering over information. I know a bit about all of them (having worked with Plotly in Python in the past for some standalone plots), but I would like to know how they designed that graphic. It looks relatively simple, but very interesting.

    Can someone explain how they did that? Also if you find more interesting ones, please share. Would love to see and compare the designs.

    Thank you :)

    Deployed backend, local frontend, best practices for security while developing?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 02:33 PM PST

    Hey guys,

    • I have an Express-based API server deployed on Heroku

    • I'm developing my Next.js frontend locally

    • Server has CORS enabled, initially only from specified origin

    • I realize I can't send HTTP requests from local dev environment because the origin is obviously "localhost"

    • I set allowed origin to "*", so I can still send requests from localhost while developing

    • But now I can't use withCredentials (which I need for session cookies)

    I intend on adhering to the twelve factor app methodology. I'm not sure if there are gaps in my knowledge.

    My question: what is the standard way to handle security when communicating between apps, especially when some are still being developed?

    If you had a microservices architecture, if one had an API, how would it handle secure communications with other microservices? (Are microservices even supposed to have APIs? I'm not sure)

    What is the ideal way to develop a web page today?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 11:04 AM PST

    Say you want to develop a static website with 18-20 pages. Maybe later on you can deploy it to github or netlify to collect form data and update few sections with serverless functions. Is using library such as bootstrap, sass,less, gatsby,react,svelte,elm etc make this job easier or plain old html,css and javascript is the way to go if not which libraries do you suggest? what are microfront ends btw? I'm revisiting front end after 2012 so idk how the frontend is exactly built today.

    Developing an interactive web app without a backend

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 12:36 PM PST

    Hey, I was wondering if it's possible to write a simple web app that has a couple input boxes for the user. You put some values in and then press start to display a graph. It's not important for anything to be stored it's just a web app that people can use to test various inputs and see results in the graph. Is this possible without a backend? I'm not sure if I can get the user input and then use it in functions in the Javascript without storing and retrieving it from a backend. Cheers

    How to become a better Javascript(React) developer?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 06:37 AM PST

    Hey everyone, hope you are doing well.

    After learning for more than half a year(I know its not that much) I have seen significant growth which I am very proud of. I have learned all of the basics and beyond, made a lot of cool projects, watched a ton of youtube videos on JS and other related things, and so on. Yet when the time came to search for an internship(which I feel I deserve) I only get no's, which rip'ed my confidence. Obviously I know that I have a lot of things to patch up , but isn't that the point of an internship? I just honestly dont know what to learn , since nobody gives me feedback on what I should improve ,which always makes things more difficult. I feel that the only way I could improve drastically now is being in an internship, but I need more experience for it. So im asking you , what are some more advanced topics that I should learn that is related to JS/React ? Or anything that would increase my chances into landing my first ever internship

    How are the news outlets making their smooth election result maps?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 02:12 PM PST

    The web nerd in me was looking around at the source for a couple election maps and was interested to see they're mainly rendered using SVGs. Was just curious, how do they manage to pull off the smooth zoom into the counties view after a user clicks one of the states? I understand the basics, like the SVGs for the counties are hidden until a state is clicked and then the state's fill is set to transparent, but just a little confused by how they pull off the zoom animations.

    A couple examples: Google's map and Fox's map

    Wanting to be a webdev but html is difficult for me?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 08:09 AM PST

    I always hear from programmers / developers that html and css are what you start with if you want to be a web developer (which I want to do as a career). And they say that those languages aren't "real" languages and just markup languages, which are perfectly accessible for beginners getting into cs.

    But what if I find those languages difficult as-is? I want to program and code as a future career (i hate the job I have now) and I have a passion for it. But html and css aren't coming as easy for me as people make it sound. I already have limited free time due to having a full time job + other responsibilities. Currently, I'm learning using sites like freecodecamp, codecademy, youtube, some udemy, etc. But it's not coming easy to me, that's for sure. So I'm concerned, if HTML isn't coming easy to me, won't real languages like js and ruby just completely put me out of my league?

    After some research, I want to learn Ruby and rails and make a career out of that someday. My dream is to either work remote or be able to move to Sweden and work as a web developer there maybe. But are my dreams feasible if I can't manage to learn html efficiently? Any advice, suggestions, words of wisdom, and feedback would be appreciated

    Front End people, where is a good place to get simple CSS animations?

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 07:43 AM PST

    I'm looking for an index of basic CSS animations like "fade-in-up" type animations to add a little bit of flair to some homepage elements without having to take the time to write all of these myself. I'm assuming that there has to be a good library somewhere that has a bunch of premade animations for background images, buttons, inputs etc.

    What do you all use?

    Automated "HELP" button on company Intranet

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 09:53 AM PST

    Hello!

    Breif: Static HTML,CSS,JS company Intranet, hosted on-prem. Webpage will be used on iPad in a Kiosk setting for patient registration/check-in at medical facility.

    ​

    I need assistance with creating a "Help" button that will send an automated email to a specific address(es) to an email address that will be monitored as well as Cc'ing our helpdesk. Our environment does not seem to like PHP so, preferably JS/Jquery

    ​

    I would also like to avoid the need for the user to input any information.

    ​

    I am trying to accomplish this without opening another application (i.e when you use a "MAILTO: " form, it opens the default email client)

    Is this possible?

    Getting Into Web Dev.. My Plan (Would love to hear some feedback)

    Posted: 04 Nov 2020 04:46 AM PST

    Hey all,

    ​

    I've been working as a system admin for few years now and I've recently decided to pick up Web Dev. Figured since I've always been somewhat curios about it, I might as well put in the hours and learn few things. My goal is to create a website for myself and my coffee business people can buy online.

    ​

    I already went through a good chunk of FreeCodeAcademy. It's useful but really can get tedious really quickly. I'm not sure if I'm missing something on it. It's definitely a good place to start, but I'm wondering if it's good for me. I will still finish the Front End portion at least as there are few things I'm not familiar with.

    ​

    I found some tutorials for creating a portfolio website on YT and I'm planning to check out some codeAcademy courses. That should keep me busy for a bit.

    If anyone has any extra resources or anything I would really appreciate it. Also please share your thoughts whether I'm on a 'good' learning path or if there are better options. Much appreciated <3
