    What's with the trend of requesting browser permission to show notifications?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 09:20 AM PST

    It's getting obnoxious. Stores, news sites, blogs, they're all asking to show browser notifications. Why? No, random news site that I was linked to, there's no reason why I'm going to grant you permission to annoy me while I read your article.

    There are legitimate uses for it. For instance, I would like to know when I get a new email from GMail. Maybe Facebook, because it has actual notifications. But as far as I know, they both have it as a setting that you have to click, instead of getting asked to on page load.

    Edit: As I wrote that last line, it made me wonder if it should be treated the way popup blockers work... require a legit click event from the user in order to be able to request permission.

    How common is it for recruiters to reach out to web devs rather than vice-versa?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 06:52 AM PST

    So I'm preparing for a series of front-end interviews with a few different companies and have been listening to a few relevant podcast episodes about the topic. Since these are my first interviews for dev jobs, and I'm self-taught with no previous professional coding experience, I had to hustle a bit to get them. This sounds unlike the experiences that the more experienced podcasters discuss, where they mention that they get messages over Linkedin from recruiters on a weekly basis.

    So since I know first hand that recruiters don't reach out to people without any experience (duh), and have heard that senior devs in the bay area are inundated with requests from recruiters, I'm wondering what it's like for everybody else? If you currently work as a web developer in a city with a more 'normal' tech scene than silicon valley, how often do you get reached out to, if at all?

    Why do some people consider frontend development “Web Design”

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 01:08 PM PST

    I remember a couple of years ago, I went for a job interview and when telling the interviewer about my HTML/CSS/JS knowledge under a "web development" question, he corrected me "well, here that's actually design".

    And I've heard other companies refer to those languages as web design.

    I'm a frontend developer, I develop websites I don't design them, I don't decide on the design of the website, I merely code it to look like a design.

    So why would that be thought of as design?

    Facebook gives this warning when you open the dev console. I'm curious if any other websites have anything similar or any easter eggs when opening the console.

    I’m not very visually or artistically inclined. Should I even bother learning webdev?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:19 PM PST

    So like the title says I have pretty much zero design/drawing or other aesthetic skills. Currently I'm working as an field engineer for a large company but I want to try to transition to some type of programming or development career. I was planning on going self taught for now and was going to start with HTML/CSS but it just seems like I have no artistic ability to design sites. Should I try something else? I've done programming in the past and am pretty good at it and I also like Unix/Linux sysasmin which I do a lot of now.

    This is probably going to get me tons of down votes but I was interest in webdev because I figured I could kinda do it as a side gig and I also have some really good ideas for some novel sites, but I'm just afraid there all going to come out looking like crap since I'm a terrible artist.

    Can someone ELI5 vuejs, angular and react?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 09:52 AM PST

    Hey beginner here, so please go easy on me.

    I'm now familiar with basic html, css, JS, jQuery and node js. I don't intend to use a framework in near future until I'm better in writing code, but I read so much about react, angular and vuejs that I tried to find a ELI5 about all of them. What is so special about these frameworks that they seem to dominate the web and seem to be irreplaceable? What do they do what others can not?

    If I trust this Roadmap I can choose one of the three, but react and angular seem to have more importance or a bigger userbase than vuejs. Is that true or just the authors intention to display it like that?

    Resources to Learn About Encryption (SHA256, AES etc...)

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 03:03 PM PST

    Good evening all,

    I have a personal project and one of the features is client-side text encryption using crypto-js.

    Initially this was just another feature that I wanted to tack on, however it dawned on me that I know very little about encryption - it's never been high up on my to-learn list.

    I don't understand why a hash doesn't need a key, what a salt is... the difference between MD5, SHA1, SHA256, or even the difference between a hash and an encryption!

    Now I know that each of these are a quick Google away but I am wondering if there are any comprehensive resources out there that have been particularly helpful to you?

    I've shopped around for some courses to get me up to speed, the closest I found was this one on Udemy, however it doesn't seem to be Web-focused... https://www.udemy.com/introduction-to-encryption-terminology-and-technology/

    Where did you guys learn about Encryption?

    Suggestions on building a self-contained internal website/app...

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 03:02 PM PST

    I have a new client who has a very old IIS website that is only accessible from an internal computer in their office, set up as a kiosk. Because this was originally set up about 15 years ago, they have a lot of trouble updating and maintaining it - and making it work on current versions of Windows (it's built in ASP and Access). They want me to convert this site into something that looks better, works better, and is going to continue to work on a Windows laptop for the foreseeable future.

    I'm a little stumped as to the best way to do this, and am looking for some advice. The basic requirements:

    • front-end only accessible through the kiosk
    • back-end accessible through intranet for content administration
    • some sort of database
    • preferably a self-contained program rather than a website running off IIS or something like WAMP

    The last one is the one that's the sticking point for me - is this even possible? And if so, what's the best way to accomplish that? Would really appreciate a point in the right direction...

    [WordPress] Similar to update_user_meta()

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:33 PM PST

    Is there a database call in WordPress where I can save to the database just like "update_user_meta()" but not require it to be tied to a user account?

    Ecommerce primer?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:03 PM PST

    Hey guys, I've built a javascript / canvas app and I wanted to get a little advice on monetizing and getting it live. I'll try to keep this short but with pertinent info.

    Background: I was a "web developer" back in the day (more than 10 years ago.) I did HTML 3/4, CSS, Javascript, and a little PHP and ruby. At the time, my self taught skills were at the junior level at best. I left all that an became a paramedic and have been doing that since, with a few small person (mostly static) websites for fun.

    Where I am now: I am about to complete an app that simulates ECG's. Almost all medical professionals have to re-cert on this type of thing every two years, while RN, medic, PA, MD, students use this stuff daily. The app already has demand and people asking me how they can pay to get access.

    It's written in vanilla javascript using canvas and basically has two "pages" one that has a UI for multiple choice testing and one for medical simulation.

    What I need to figure out: I never thought that this biggest hurtle to this would be figuring out how to actually take peoples money. I would like to get a site up that charges a small fee for access to fund further development.

    My plan is a membership model, $5 for a month (for people re-certing) or $40 for a year (for students.)

    I've been looking into using a wordpress install with a membership and ecommerce plug in (maybe woocommerce.) I've done and maintained woordpress installs before, but never done anything ecommerce. I'm worried about "unknown unknowns" in my knowledge here.

    Any advice on execution, platforms, payment processing, would be appreciated. Has anyone used woocommerce to do a membership site here and how was it? Beyond an ecommerce and payment processor are there any parts I'm just completely missing?

    I've googled membership site development, but for the most part you just find blogs from entrepreneurs about how to grow membership. All that marketing and business side I have covered, this is really about the development execution to make the ecommerce transaction.

    I do plan on hiring a professional, paramedics don't make much and I'm hoping to raise the funds to do just that.

    I also do plan on putting these on the app stores but right now, just due to the nature of reading ECG's in medicine, mobile devices aren't ideal. That's for a future version.

    Thanks so much for taking the time, I know this is more of a general question than a specific development problem.

    I need a solution to our office hygiene nightmare.

    Posted: 09 Jan 2018 09:44 PM PST

    We have a hygiene issue with a couple new hires at my company. Apparently no one - not our team leads, management, or HR - are willing to do anything about it. They've been asked to say something. Have any of you had to deal with this?

    We've been repositioning where people sit as our dev team grows, and now the worst culprit in the office sits across from me, but this affects everyone at some point, whether it's in our Monday meetings, or our close quarters stand ups, but now it plagues me all day, and it's impacting my ability to focus. Have any of you had to deal with something like this? Did you find a way to resolve the issue in a diplomatic way? How?

    EDIT: Some of you have mentioned that it could be a condition this person has. I don't think it is. You can tell by looking at him that he rolled out of bed and pulled some clothes out of a pile of dirty laundry and came in to work.

    Should webdev be forked?

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 01:18 PM PST

    There is a divergence happening in web development where it's getting harder to relate concepts across the board.

    Web App Development is driving a lot of great innovation in both the browser standards and tooling side.

    But traditional Web Site Development models just don't need or benefit from some of the latest trends (EG css-in-js).

    The whole Web Development space is still getting treats like CSS-Grids so the separation isn't complete.

    But, many threads on this sub see disagreements stemming from different semantics and processes of both models. We are starting to become different developer species: one that deploys discrete files in a website ecosystem and one that uses Webpack.

    Or... are we moving towards everything being on the web-app spectrum?
