    Just got my student developer pack, what should I think about when naming my domain for my projects?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 07:18 AM PST

    Hello everyone! So I just got my GitHub student developer pack approved and I wanted to grab a domain and host so that in the future as I make some projects I can put them all on subdomains of that main domain. My question is what should I name that domain as something to represent me but also my web development and any other future categories of software. I usually go by "Thatguy553" online but should I use my real name in the domain name?

    ​

    Is there anything I should think about professionally when naming this? I don't have any kind of job in web development or software development yet but I think it could be a viable future for me.

    ​

    "project.thatguy553.com/home"

    or

    "project.xzavierlastname.com/home"

    ​

    Sorry if this kind of question doesnt go here, it didnt seem something like this was strictly prohibited in the rules

    Trying 6 not so popular javascript frameworks in 30 days

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 02:15 PM PST

    JS function works if written straight to the HTML file but does not work when called from file

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 05:30 AM PST

    Hi all,

    I'm having a problem I can't seem to explain. I have checkboxes in a <form>, and I want to limit the choices up to three, they're named theme and that's how I grab them, I should probably use a class though. If I write

    <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $("input[name='theme']").change(function() { let limit = 3; let cnt = $("input[name='theme']:checked").length; if (cnt > limit) { $(this).prop("checked", ""); alert("Select up to " + limit + " themes!"); } }); }); </script>

    it works fine but if I write the function to a file (scripts/script-checkbox.js)and then call it, it doesn't work ! 

    const checkLimit = function() { $("input[name='theme']").change(function() { let limit = 3; let cnt = $("input[name='theme']:checked").length; if (cnt > limit) { $(this).prop("checked", ""); alert("Select up to " + limit + " themes!"); } }); };

    Like this, it is as if nothing happened : 

     <script src="scripts/script-checkbox.js"> $(document).ready(function () { checkLimit(); }); </script>

    Which looks about the same to me, how can I fix this?

    I tried putting the $(document).ready(...) inside the function as well but it still doesn't work.

    Thanks

    Video/Gif alternative for portfolio site

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 12:18 PM PST

    Hi Dev's, I want to show interface transitions of projects in my portfolio. For example a menu animation I made for a project. I cant do that with images, video uses a lot of resources, WebP is not supported by safari and Gif only has 256 colors. Any ideas out there? Preferably some I can make with Sketch/Figma.

    Self-hosted CMS for a one (ok, maybe two) page website

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 03:23 PM PST

    I'm going to be building a small website for a family member as a birthday present, which will basically be a fairly static one-pager with links to other (social media) profiles etc. It might be nice if it had some portfolio functionality, but that's not essential.

    I'd like to add a simple editor to update the stuff that is most likely to need updates. Like the aforementioned artwork, maybe some extra links, bio, etc.

    My go-to CMS is usually WordPress, and I guess that would work, but it seems overkill somewhat in this case.

    I also regularly use static site generators (Like Hugo, Jekyll, Ember.js,...) for this kind of site for myself, but I fear that will be a bit too technical.

    I guess I could whip up a simple 'CMS' myself, but I have a feeling that it's probably already been done?

    Do you have any tips or suggestions? In terms of language, I'm most familiar with PHP, but Python would work too. I'd like to avoid subscription-based services (like Squarespace) and am totally fine with doing some nitty-gritty tweaking, or even reviving an abandoned project.

    Creating a Weather App using Dark Sky's API...CORS Blocked?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 11:33 AM PST

    Here's a summary of why it's happening:

    https://darksky.net/dev/docs/faq#cross-origin Edit: I guess you need an account to get in. Here's detail below:

    ​

    We take security very seriously at Dark Sky. As a security precaution we have disabled cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) on our servers.

    Your API call includes your secret API key as part of the request. If you were to make API calls from client-facing code, anyone could extract and use your API key, which would result in a bill that you'd have to pay. We disable CORS to help keep your API secret key a secret.

    To prevent API key abuse, you should set up a proxy server to make calls to our API behind the scenes. Then you can provide forecasts to your clients without exposing your API key.

    Is there an easy way to set up a proxy server to get around this? I'm using VS Code and Firefox for my browser. Just developing an app for fun.

    How to get a job as a programmer?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 02:37 PM PST

    The post is not more than the title, how to get a job as a programmer?

    So let's imagine a situation where you are that person that decides if a junior or mid-level developer is hired by your company, what kind of knowledge should that person have for you to think "this is a good candidate, and I want this developer working with us"?

    How could a developer show with projects that has that knowledge? Maybe clone other applications, build a new one, work with a team to create a "big" project, show you finished project to other businesses as a freelancer? And what should those projects have to be considered good ones?

    Should that developer have a portfolio or how you prefer to see those projects, and how much good projects are a good number? If a portfolio is a good idea, how should be structured? what is important to you?

    Or maybe you just see cv, and if that's the case, what do you see in the cv of good developers? and how would you structure a cv in order to see only what matters to you and make your work easier?

    I think these are the questions that matter, so developers know what they should work on, but also make companies have better candidates, and to those developers that already work there have teammates that actually know what they are doing and what to learn next.

    Also, thank you for any answer, you don't need to answer everything but just what you think is more important. :)

    Thoughts on University coding boot amp?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 02:16 PM PST

    I've been looking into coding boot camps for more than a year but I can't decide if it's worth it, I know some of the material already (jquery, nodejs) but if this lesson coming from a university will it be more valuable than a boot camp that isn't well known?

    Having problems with email hosting and DNS.

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 01:57 PM PST

    Firstly i'll just say i'm a complete newbie at this and just used a website builder to make my website. There's probably gonna be a lot of stuff i say that's pretty stupid.

    So my problem is i registered my domain name with 123-reg (probably not the greatest choice in hindsight but they were the cheapest 😬) and used Wix to create my website. But when i changed the nameservers to the wix ones, i stopped receiving email into my 123-mail account and it said email was going to wix. Problem being i paid for my email address with 123 and if i try to get it to go there it changes the nameservers as well, so i have to choose between having a website or that email address.

    Preferably i would like to keep the same email address and stuff, how do i get email into that address without changing the nameservers? And if this isn't possible can i set up that same email address to go through wix instead of 123 reg?

    Thanks for any help and sorry if what i've said is confusing, i'll explain it as best i can if so.

    Where can I host a very simple JS program I wrote?

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 01:34 PM PST

    I wrote a really simple program using VS Code that takes a string from an input field and creates HTML objects out of it and then append those to the document body. For the record, I do not have any node.js knowledge. Is it possible to host my project "as is", like I see it on my browser?

    CGI Library

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 09:18 AM PST

    I was working on a Common Gateway Interface library (not done yet), but wanted to see what various communities thought of it. GitHub

    Common Gateway Interface (CGI) is a standard outlined by RFC3875 that defines how a server talks to a program that it runs to get output (you write that program). The unfortunate part is that, as with most standards, the way that it does this is pretty inconvenient (in their defense, there are quite a few things that need to be given to some scripts from various sources). So I wrote/am writing a C++ library to solve that.

    Sorry if this isn't something this community wants to see, but I thought I'd try.

    Developing in a Monorepo While Still Using Webpack

    dumb question about web scraping

    Posted: 03 Nov 2020 12:41 PM PST

    dumb question about web scraping

    I wanted to practice web development so I had an idea to make a website that shows graphs of the player numbers for this game. I would simply need to read the player count for each of the 50 worlds once every 6 hours maybe so I cant imagine I would need a lot of processing power.

    ​

    What options do I have If I want this program to run 24/7? Would AWS be too expensive? Would it be better to have some shitty laptop or phone running this? I don't think I would want to spend more than 10 dollars per year on this because I'm only doing it for myself mainly lmao. I've seen you can get free hosting through github also? But that only lets you host the website and not run the actual code? I study comp sci but I havent thouched web development so I dont know how these things work exactly.

    ​

    edit: maybe aws lambda could work? maybe the free plan even?

    ​

    any tips are appreciated.
