    I was asked to verify my account by providing the last four characters of my password... does this mean that my password is stored as plain text and that staff has access to it?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 03:39 AM PST

    I found Kyle Simpson's "You Dont Know JS" books to be a great help to me in learning JavaScript. His video workshops are free all week on FrontEndMasters to celebrate his new book launch. Just posting to give a heads up to anyone who would be interested.

    My first portfolio - How's it look?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 02:30 PM PST

    Portfolio

    Hey everyone, I'm a 19-year-old looking to pursue a career in full stack web development.

    This is my first attempt at putting together a decent portfolio and would greatly appreciate any feedback, suggestions, spelling errors, or anything else that comes to mind!

    At the moment I'm hosting it on a free heroku dyno until I setup a proper hosting environment - so I'm sorry if load time is slow.

    Side note - All of the socials / work references (github repos) haven't been implemented because I'm currently working on creating new, professional accounts for the whole gig.

    Thanks for your time!

    Building My First Progressive Web App (PWA)

    Firefox quantum debugger unbearably slow

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 12:35 PM PST

    Is it just me? Could it be some local options I have set? I can't find any topics on the slowness of the new debugger but it's absolutely unusable. I noticed a change a couple months back on the dev edition and hoped it would be fixed before hitting the mainstream branch, but it continues to suck. I'm talking wait 10 seconds after clicking a breakpoint before it even sets, let alone trigger the thing, bad.

    I'm hoping you guys have some suggestions to speed it up, or at least know of some open bug reports that are being worked.

    Why there're no standards for browser elements (checkboxes, scrollbars...) customization?

    How long does it take you to build the html and css for a website?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 03:05 PM PST

    I've read that it usually only takes a couple hours to make the html and css for a site like http://lefarfallecharleston.com/3, but it took me all day just to make the front page, I haven't even gotten to making the rest of the pages, and I had to constantly look at the inspect element to see how things get done. When I practice making websites with no reference, the designs are always bad and it still takes about all day just to get done with the html and css. I'm still practicing to get faster at this and trying to improve my skills, but I'm curious how long it takes anyone else to make a website similar to this as well, just the html and css. Or please post a website you made and how long it took you to make just the html and css.

    Just deployed my first VueJS app

    This was part of a college assignment. First time using Vue. Gotta say it's great and easy to learn. The app shows the latest city bike station stats in Cork, Ireland http://www.cianwoods.com/corkbikes/ Let me know what you think :)

    Opinion: Can you be a successful Front-End Developer and UI/UX designer?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 01:58 PM PST

    I am currently beginning to get into Front-End Development, I began in June of this year. I have currently taught myself HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and currently am getting into J-Query. I however really enjoy the design aspect and am trying to teach myself to use Sketch and applications on Adobe Creative Suite. Do you think a jack of all trades is a master of none? Or should I keep training myself in all to make myself more marketable? Does anyone have a job in which they need to use both? How was the experience?

    HTML Form submit and redirect without JS?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 01:53 PM PST

    Also posted on stack overflow, but I wanted to try here as well.

    I have a HTML form with a URL as the action attribute. When the visitor submits the form, I need them to be redirected to a thank you page that is different than the action URL.

    The base of my form looks like this

    <form method="post" action="http://website.com/url-that-processes-form-info">

    I've seen in other places, people were able to add a hidden field to trigger a redirect upon form submission, so I've tried adding this inside the form:

    <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="http://website.com/thank-you-page">

    But this doesn't seem to work.

    The problem is, I can't use any javascript (it's for a Gmail ad campaign, which strips away any JS), and I don't have access to the page that processes the form (which is in the forms action).

    Is there any other way of doing this?

    Need some pointers for a beginner in web dev

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 09:52 AM PST

    In the past, I have made simple HTML websites for friends, and hosted with 000webhost, but recently I needed a better solution. I was told to learn JS, CSS, and HTML for a great website, which I can easily learn as a programmer (I understand HTM is not programming). What I want to ask is: are there any completely free hosting services that offer free .com or .net domains, and what do you recommend I learn to develop a good website? Thanks.

    Building websites driven by databases

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 01:35 PM PST

    Hi Folks,

    I want to write a simple web app, that one can go to on github and use. And I am a bit lost, between ruby, and python and java and coffee and slim and MySQL, all of which I'm unfamiliar with and I just don't even know where to start!

    Here's what I want to do, build a sort of online shopping cart. A simple "Squad Builder" for board games. A straightforward calculator that allows something like: you can have ten team members in your team, gives you a list of all the team members you can choose from, and lets you add the ones that you would like, running a tally of their total cost in the game. Then, for each team member you select, it gives you options for how you can customise them with various add-ons, all the while keeping a numerical cost total.

    Some examples: http://armadawarlords.hivelabs.solutions/fleet_builder.php?faction=r

    http://xwing-builder.co.uk/build

    https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel%20Alliance&d=v4!s!&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron&obs=

    Imagine you have a database of things, that all have a cost associated with them

    Each one of these uses a completely different approach to solving this problem, and as I get deeper and deeper into reading about the software packages each one was built in, I'm just getting horribly bogged down in languages I don't understand using packages I'm not sure how to use.

    So in a nutshell, if you were presented with this kind of request, what kinds of things do I need to understand to begin to approach building something like the above websites?

    I've had a crack at using a GUI like bubble.io andwhilst I'm not practiced enough to code a site with that yet, I get the feeling that for something like this I should just try and learn how to do it from scratch. It's just databases linked together right? What would you think I would need to understand? MySQL? Java?

    Thanks for taking the time to have a look :). I'm well-versed in Adobe software like Indesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, so getting the design right won't be the hard part, it's the back-end that terrifies me. I'm not even sure I properly understand how a back-end works.

    Responsive design mode is not accurate?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 01:28 PM PST

    I'm using the latest version of Google Chrome, and also Firefox developer edition. When I go into the responsive design mode and check how a site looks on say, iPhone 6 - they look quite a bit different. Then I go on my phone and go on the same site, and the way it is shown on my phone is completely different from both of them.

    Go on the reddit homepage on your phone and then from the responsive design mode in your browser - it is different. What do web devs do to solve this? Do they get a mobile emulator?

    Can someone recommend a cheap multi-device testing service?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 09:39 AM PST

    Anyone have any experience working with mobile device testing services to test mobile websites across multiple mobile devices / browsers?

    I'm at the point in a project where I should really be using something aside from Chrome Dev Tools and my own device.

    I need something priced for a single / indie dev -- not an enterprise.

    Anyone?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 07:25 AM PST

    Greetings,

    Looking to see what you guys are using for mail server solutions. Our system license is ending and I do not feel like purchasing a-new.

    Free and open-source solutions are great, but if need be will consider buying.

    Quick overview of what we are looking for: Linux based solution No need for active directory Not importing old mail (starting fresh, we've already started to process of pushing all mail off the system into individuals PST files) Administrator portal (CLI is also a-okay) Multiple domain webmail individual listener spamkiller of sorts would be great

    Thank you guy's for your input!

    Improving Google Page Speed

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 09:36 AM PST

    I recently discovered Google Page Speed Insights and was surprised by the mobile response speed of my (unfinished) site. Do mobile sites generally load more slowly than desktop versions or am I doing something wrong? I used create-react-app to deploy.

    Page Speed: Mobile - 67/100 ~ Desktop - 87/100

    Difference between a template engine and a JS framework?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 09:35 AM PST

    So I am trying to do a node app, so it going to be mostly back-end. But I want to render some simple html and css on the front. It's really confusing what to choose. I messed around a bit with handlebars but couldn't get the css working on it, only a bootstrap cdn. I am fiddeling around with react now, but I'm still confused as hell. Can anyone clarify the thing with these template engines? And why not just use a js framework?

    How do I retrieve http API data from a https website?

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 01:20 PM PST

    Hello, I have a Pihole set up on one of my Raspberry Pi's and I would like to call its API at (http://192.168.1.126/admin/api.php?summary) to retrieve the data and display it on my website which I host on another raspberry pi on the same network. This website is secured and therefore uses https. It also has a content security policy which includes the following (i've removed a lot of it to simplify):

    Header set Content-Security-Policy: "\ default-src 'self' http://192.168.1.126;"

    Because of this, it won't let me connect to unsecure http sources. I have tried the following code, adding in the referrerPolicy tag to try and make it work. 

    var mydata = fetch('http://192.168.1.126/admin/api.php?summary', {referrerPolicy: 'unsafe-url'}); console.log(mydata);

    I have also tried using an XMLHttpRequest and writing a small php script but still suffer the same issue. I am self taught and have spent a long time googling before asking this question to you, please could you help me?

    Thank you

    Is there a way to keep browser zoom level consistent across HTML pages using basic HTML/CSS/JS? Can't seem to find a working solution.

    Posted: 28 Nov 2017 01:20 PM PST

    Newbie question. I have a set of .html pages and I'd like to keep the browser zoom level (e.g. in Chrome: view -> Actual Size / Zoom In / Zoom Out) consistent across them.

    The problem that led me to want to do this is that I have the exact same navigation bar repeatedly coded across several pages. If a user were to zoom in on one page, the navigation bar on that page becomes larger, but it predictably stays the original size on other pages. Maybe there is a workaround solution that doesn't involve messing with the user's zoom level to keep the navbar a consistent size across zoom levels, but I haven't found such a solution.

    Unfortunately doing something like using React to reuse the same navbar component is not an option. I need to accomplish this using basic HTML / CSS / JS, assuming it is possible.

    Please let me know if I should clarify anything. Thanks!
