    Professional Web Developer Subreddit

    Posted: 10 Jan 2018 07:48 PM PST

    Hello, one of the continual complaints that I have heard in my years of moderating /r/webdev is that there is too drastic a range of experience and that professionals get drowned out by the repeated basic questions and have nowhere to share, discuss, and debate more advanced technologies, methodologies, opinions, etc.

    Well, no longer. From the moderators of /r/webdev comes /r/proweb, a professional community of web designers, developers, and UXers that are vetted before being approved. I am currently developing the community so early members will have the opportunity to develop policy and even become a moderating member if they contribute significantly to this new community.

    Interested?

    Submit your portfolio and verification now by visiting /r/proweb and 'Messaging the Moderators'

    What are your favorite portfolio websites for web developers?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 08:40 AM PST

    Devs in general tend to either go overboard or for the bear minimum when it comes to their personal websites, what are your favorites?

    I'm asking because I made this repo that lists the coolest websites I have found so far and it's been fun looking around. (Don't hesitate to make a PR with websites you enjoy)

    Here are some of my favorites:

    Setting up height to 100%(alternatives)

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 10:18 AM PST

    Hey, given this code: the red(navigation) height should always be 100% of the current window height, however I don't want to set the height of 100% to every parent element(in this example it might seem the easiest way, but imagine a big project, where you would have to set every parent to 100% height...this would screw up a lot), what would be an alternative?

    In the example I tried the viewport height, however - and this makes sense - since it will take the viewport height, it won't scale(when scrolling or when a sibling get's bigger in height), as you can see in my example, the last row of (white) cards leads(on the sibling(green) div) to an exceedance of the green div and the desired height of the red div of 100% isn't achieved anymore(watch the gap on the bottom of the red nav element).

    I hope you get what I mean - how could I solve this? As I already mentioned, I don't wan't to use height 100%(since I would have to set this in every parent element, in order to become effective on the children). Besides that I'm not forced to use display: grid. I couldn't achieve the desired effect with display: flex neither.

    Does anyone know a good solution to this? :)

    Serverless is horrible

    I have said before - the buzz word #Serverless bugs me. What a horrible and confusing term. Who would vote to change it to #PlatformAgnostic? #DevOps

    Keeping code formatting consistent

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 12:51 PM PST

    Hello guys,

    I've a short question: I'd like to keep code formatting consistent between my developer colleagues and me. Personally I am using VSCode with the plugin Prettier. I like the functionality that it replaces double quotes with single ones or that it auto adds semicolons. Now the issue is that it doesn't work with editorconfig and it has a kinda special formatting style (apparently, got some complaints already). How are you dealing with that? I don't wanna miss the function to have double quotes replaced or to have semicolons added.

    Edit: For JavaScript btw

    Google Site Search Alternatives?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 12:44 PM PST

    Paid Google Site Search is on its way out. I need to look for alternatives. What does /r/webdev recommend?

    Edit: https://developers.google.com/custom-search/json-api/v1/overview This is odd.

    Edit 2: Mostly just writing this out for myself.

    A Google Site Search replacement mostly consists of three components.

    • A web GUI interface
    • A web crawler
    • A search database

    Full Solutions:

    • Google Custom Search Engine (includes Ads, free)
    • Algolia $35/month (essential), $2500/month (business)
    • swiftype $79/month
    • Sajari $97/month
    • Site Search 360 $99/month
    • Cludo $199/month
    • searchIQ $19/month

    Web Interface:

    Crawler + Search Database:

    • Google Custom Search Engine JSON API
    • Azure Site Search (provides sample JavasScript code)

    Crawler:

    Search Engines:

    • Amazon Cloud Search
    • ElasticSearch (FOSS)
    • Apache Solr (FOSS)

    Of interest is OpenSearch specification which Google wanted to be a common API between interfaces and search databases but it doesn't appear to be widely implemented.

    Slack groups worth joining?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 06:45 AM PST

    Hello,

    last week I read a post asking about places to find webdevs/designers etc and someone responded with a Slack group I can't remember/find anymore. Are there some Slack groups worth joining? Do you use Slack for chatting with other devs/freelancers?

    Regards

    So I made a couple of wordpress websites for my manager and now he sold his boss on the idea of me making a much more complicated website.

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 05:08 AM PST

    I made several simple wordpress websites for my manager. Easy things with static pages that don't change. Now my manager found out about a new florida law requiring all condo associations with 150 or more condos to have a website with a log in section That must host a wide variety of documents that will need to be constantly updated. I don't want to make a wall of text but the FLorida law 718.111(12)(g), lists all the requirements. What's worse is there are currently about 2000 condo associations not in compliance and the deadline is in 6 months. I am the only web developer(I was hired to do computer security) here and they expect me to just be able to copy and paste this website and be able to crank out 2 or 3 a day once we get rolling. I don't think this can happen just because of all the documentation that I need to host.

    Resume tips with no experience and no CS degree?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 03:30 PM PST

    So, I'm a mix of self taught and from a pretty popular coding bootcamp. I have a good grasp of HTML, CSS, SASS, Bootstrap and JQuery. I'm decent with JS, Python, SQL, Django. And new to Angular, Node/Express and MongoDB. Planning on learning a little Wordpress and CSS Grid soon. Anyway, as you can tell I'm predominately a front end web dev with no experience outside of a personal project or two. What have you self taught guys done to get your first job? I'm hoping to find something to put on a resume to prove my worth as I don't see recruiters having the time or knowledge to look very deep into a github profile.

    No access to Domain registrar or hosting conundrum

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 03:24 PM PST

    Hi - So I've had someone come to me with this problem. They've recently bought a business and the owner died sadly before they were given access to the business' domain and hosting info and login. They want to keep the company name and just create a new domain that is slightly different. Other than just waiting for the current hosting and/or domain registration to run out, what would the best way be to move forward, just create a new site and deal with the old one outranking it until it dies? Cheers

    Moving from front end to back end

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 01:34 PM PST

    I have been working as a front-end developer for 8 years now. I have pushed through javascript fatigue for several years, am very comfortable with es6, and have built several fairly large SPAs with react. I'm finding lately that working on the front-end is needlessly irritating, especially dealing with different browsers, devices, pixel densities, screen sizes etc... Writing CSS feels like a chore nowadays, and the interest I once held in making user experiences sparkle and shine has dissipated...

    I have often considered trying to be more back-end focused or getting out of "web" development and into the world of desktop applications. I have "full stack" experience with Express and Django, but I'm certainly not well versed in things like database design, query performance, or other intricacies of software development. I don't have a computer science degree or any other formal training in that field, just what I've picked up along the way.

    So I'm wondering, has anyone out there made the transition from front to back end, or from web to software developer? And if you did, do you have any pointers or suggestions on how to get there?

    Thanks!

    Is there a better way of uploading my files to my Namecheap hosted website?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 01:08 PM PST

    I purchased a domain from Namecheap and am using the offered CPanel service to help facilitate all changes to my website.

    Unfortunately, I find the process of going through CPanel File Manager and manually uploading individual files one by one to be a tedious process.

    Is there a better way of doing this, such as via Putty/SSH?

    I'm building a static website for a political non-profit. Should I learn a new language and use Hugo/Jekyll, or stick to what I know and use Hexo/Gatsby?

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 09:13 AM PST

    I'm up for learning Ruby/Go, but I don't know what time commitment would be necessary to learn those languages in order to create a Hugo/Jekyll website.

    Need help navigating a Joomla 2.5 web project.

    Posted: 11 Jan 2018 11:41 AM PST

    Hello, I'm tasked with making updates and changes to a Joomla 2.5 built corporate website using a custom template made by a previous developer.

    I'm new to Joomla and am having trouble navigating my way around making these changes. I am approaching this from a clean slate of learning, but I'm having trouble filtering through years-old Joomla tutorial videos to find the ones that are relevant to my project issues.

    A few questions:

    • What is the best way to make a site copy for making/testing changes on Joomla?

    • How do I change the look of the mobile site on Joomla?

    • Is migrating to Joomla 3.x is a good idea? They did mention that they wanted to modernize the look of their site, and Joomla 2.5 looks a bit outdated. This isn't necessary.

    • My main task is consolidating pages/modules and moving those modules around the site. Is this possible through Joomla's admin panel, or do I have to touch the PHP?

    To a more experienced developer, this post may look like a noobie who is in over his head with a CMS they're not familiar with, admittedly so. But I am coming to r/webdev for honest help with a desire to learn this for my own experience. And it would be a long shot, but it would be great if someone was willing to stay in contact with me as a mentor throughout the process instead of me waiting for Reddit comments. I'm willing to compensate!

    Thanks so much.
