    Is it common for web developers to be able to work remotely?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 10:57 AM PST

    Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to each myself programming so I can break into the tech industry, and I'm very interested in web development in particular. The main reason I want to get into programming is because I've always heard that that industry is a lot more likely to let its workers work from home, so that's the main draw.

    What I wanted to know, though, was how common it is for web developers to be able to work remotely, whether that's freelance or otherwise. What do you all think?

    Should I learn a JS Framework?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 11:03 AM PST

    I'm a pretty new developer. I feel pretty solid with HTML/CSS/JS and I've taken a web course on Node.js for backend though I still feel like I have a lot to learn there. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around JS frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue. All the articles, descriptions, and comparisons seem to assume some amount of knowledge I don't have. I'm only planning on using my skills for small personal projects and I'm unsure if these are necessary. So I guess my questions are. Should I learn one of these frameworks if I'm not planning on joining some big web app dev team? And should I make sure I have a solid understanding of Node before I move on to a framework, or will I just be mastering a bunch of things I will be throwing out the window once I choose one?

    I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to ask this :)

    I need desperate help on how to break down programming problems.

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 12:51 PM PST

    Hey folks! I'm 29 years old and have been studying development for about a year now. I was in construction but I'm trying to change my career. I enjoy everything about it, the frustration, the feeling when you finally figure it out, and learning. I'm struggling BAD - but I'm really determined and not ready to give up.

    I'm stuck in a vicious circle of learning > trying to do a personal project > failing (not knowing where to start most of the time) > learning some more. Which does seem to bad when I type it out but I really just want to start building things.

    Almost EVERYDAY I get determined to start a project but then I just feel like I can't. Take a tic-tac-toe game for example. Something that I feel that anyone studying this long should be able to accomplish.. I wrote out my requirements in a notebook and I got to work... but then I don't know how to break it down in to smaller problems. I displayed a 3x3 grid with bootstrap and manipulated the DOM to where you click in the box it displays an 'x'. But from there I felt lost on where to go next. It's the logic that I truly suck at.

    I've taken so many different great courses: Colt Steele's Web Dev Bootcamp, Upskill, and Practical Javascript. I'm really tired of taking the same courses and having the same thing spit at me. I understand the syntax but I'm not learning how to break down issues when I'm off to make projects on my own. I can't even do Basic Algorithm Scripting from freecodecamp or beginner stuff on codewars.com, projecteular, and the likes..

    I definitely feel like I'm learning... Although very slowly. I can definitely do things now that I wouldn't have been able to do before.

    Here's my Github: https://github.com/eppixdev

    I have a few projects, but none I did on my 100% on my own. Every single one of them I looked at examples of similar projects to get inspiration (aka figure out the logic for me) but then implemented the code myself.

    Sorry for any rambling - it feels nice to get my thoughts out and feel like someone is listening.

    TL;DR: I suck at logic and problem solving. I need to figure this out - I'm almost 29 and I'm in the middle of a career change.

    Server Related Question

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 10:01 AM PST

    My question is a bit more orientated towards servers and hosting but I felt that this was the place to put it.

    My job requires me to transfer large files (around 3gb each sometimes) across the country from one server to another.

    The transfers always happen FROM the same server (Let's call this Server X) and I'm literally ten metres away from it but I can't touch it at all. The server it goes TO is always different and usually a hundred miles or more away.

    For now, what I've been doing is logging into server X using WinScp, downloading what I need onto my own laptop, then logging into the server I need using WinScp and uploading the files there.

    The problem is that the download takes about an hour or two and the upload even longer. As I need to do a handful of these a day, you can see why it's an issue. Plus, my storage on my own laptop gets extremely low.

    Any suggestions on what type of server hosting I need for high speed transfers? I live in the UK if that helps.

    Installing OpenVPN on Ubuntu 16.04

    Is it possible to store a HTTPS response, and prove it was never tampered with?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 04:18 AM PST

    In my country, there's a law against retailers marking prices up and then putting them "on sale" for their normal price. Yet there are still retailers who continue to do this, because to submit a complaint, you need proof that they've done it, and most people don't have it/don't consider it worth the effort to go digging around for catalogues to make complaints to the consumer protection office.

    I'm a programming student and thought it would be a fun project to make an application/website that helped automate and publicise this. I would scrape retailer pages for the prices of their top/promoted products each day, and store the information in a database. Then if something got a price spike followed by a price slash within 60 days, it would be a red flag, and I could publish it and/or submit the complaint.

    The obvious problem is: why should people trust my database?

    That's why I'm wondering if HTTPS/TLS makes it possible to store the actual response body in my database in such a way that I can prove it wasn't tampered with. That should be possible, right? I've used PGP, where a message can have a signature attached, and then you can supply Mr. X's public key + the text to get a "yes, Mr. X's private key signed this exact text" validation. Does SSL/TSL operate in a similar way, where I can store the response directly and then say "Look, this HTTP response says the item was $200 on May 5, and the retailer's own certificate proves it's legitimate"?

    Do you think sometimes to just try different development area?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 10:54 AM PST

    I have only 1 year of job experience as a web developer but right now I'm just thinking of ditching web dev and try something harder and more 'programmer' oriented. Something with C/C++ doing 3D Graphics/Game Development/Desktop. Is it worth it ? How can i be sure that I'll be able to do my tasks? Do I need to dive deep in Math before looking for a job?

    I created my first real web application that I can be proud of!

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 02:59 PM PST

    Hi guys! I've been slowly getting into web dev, and I have always sucked at it. I'm still a beginner, but I have made my first web app that I am actually a little bit proud of!

    It's called Optbnb, and it's currently a website that allows Airbnb hosts in San Francisco to optimize their listings and visualize their competition. I did computations using Pandas in Jupyter Notebook, visualized the data using Chart.JS and Google Maps, and my back end was in Node.

    I would love for you guys to check it out and give some feedback!

    Feedback on new-grad personal website?

    What frameworks/libraries should I use to make something similiar to this page?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 07:37 AM PST

    I'm trying to make a clone of this (http://graphtv.kevinformatics.com/) mainly for learning but hopefully to put something on my github to show future employers.

    So far I've got:

    • Postgres database with all the tv series, their ratings etc which I parsed from the imdb interface files
    • RESTful api written in express to access the database, so far it only has one GET method to return all the episodes for an imdb ID or series name
    • d3.js scatterplot displaying the data, it's not super pretty but has some cool functionality

    I have the d3.js on a single static html page and I'm controlling the search with jquery event listeners and then using an ajax request to get my api data. I'm pretty happy with it so far but I'd like to add a homepage view similar to graphtv that then leads to my chart, I know I could do it with jquery and just static pages but I feel like it's a messy implementation.

    What should I be looking into to achieve this? Also a follow up question, is there anyway for me not to expose my public api? I don't quite understand how chartTv's request returns an html page with all the json data required for their chart embedded in the html?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, I'm still pretty new to web dev

    How app developers and designers feel about the iPhone X and the notch

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 12:56 PM PST

    I'm a noob trying to build a portfolio, bit I feel like I can't think of content and layout.

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 06:06 AM PST

    Every time I get an idea of some small business website to do, I try to think of content I'll need but I feel like I can't get any creative writing or thoughts to actually show. I don't want to copy all the content from another real site. I have reached out to a local shop to do a website because all they have is Facebook. I didn't get a response, so I am thinking of designing/building it and seeing how they like it. I'm having trouble planning layout and stuff even though I know the main things that will be in it.

    Update on my predicament

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 04:26 AM PST

    So I made this thread here exactly 1 month ago (this wasn't on purpose): https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/78ta3e/im_in_a_predicament/

    and I was struggling very hard with the Basic Algorithm challenges, like it was to the point where I would just copy paste the correct answer because I didn't understand any of it.

    I spent the last month dedicating myself to understanding the language better. I'm not employed right now so hundreds of hours in a months span went to practicing programming(javascript) along with php.

    I created a new account on freecodecamp and went through the entire Basic Algorithm again. Only used google/looked for help for 1 of them.

    I just wanted to make this post to encourage others who were having the same trouble as myself.

    Really just start using the language/make projects/etc until you really get a feel for the language. This helped me. I'm ready to tackle Intermediate challenges now.

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 01:27 PM PST

    Is there a way to test websites on mobile devices if I don't have a domain name? Do I actually have to buy a domain name and hosting to be able to check out my website from my phone? I have have an Iphone by the way.

    How to deal with IE breaking down websites?

    Posted: 25 Nov 2017 11:56 AM PST

    As expected: Broken page using IE

    I'm working on this page: https://fieel.github.io/VeraSings/

    I was expecting it tbh, when i tried to open it with IE it was completely broken. Check by yourself.

    When i use Edge it works but i have some weird horizontal spacing that makes my page 30% bigger horizontally, it's so ugly D:

    I tried with Firefox, Opera and Chrome and it works perfectly.

    Self-taught aspiring web dev looking for honest feedback on my portfolio and your opinion on whether I'm job ready yet.

    Posted: 24 Nov 2017 04:13 PM PST

    Hey there /r/WebDev.

    Here's a link to my portfolio.

    I've spent the last few months teaching myself HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as some libraries / frameworks / extensions / etc. I had already dabbled in a tiny bit HTML and CSS years ago but now I feel like my grasp on them is firm. I know enough JavaScript to make my personal projects work and have started working through algorithm problems every day so I can feel like a vanilla JS guru.

    My goal is to break into the WebDev world as a frontend developer and eventually expand my skills to full stack (a project involving NodeJS is next on my list). I preferably want to work with cutting edge technologies (haven't learned JQuery yet) but that's not a hard rule.

    I'd like to know your opinions on my portfolio, whether you think I'm job ready, and anything I should improve on. I can take honest criticism. :) Thanks!
