    Which particular intermediate-advanced skills/concepts should i lock down with vanilla javascript to show strong language knowledge without frameworks?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 02:25 PM PDT

    Hey, I've been teaching myself javascript for a little while now and about a month ago i decided to stop any further pursuits for knowledge of frameworks until I really have the language and its features understood in its raw form. Basically, i want to know what will make me excel as a javascript developer as well as stand out as a a potential hire with a strong foundational knowledge of the language and its features. That being said i still intend to have frameworks under my belt.

    How can I scale a site without losing speed?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 02:54 PM PDT

    I have a site built in Wordpress with 100,000+ posts. The load time was nearly seven seconds. As a test, I temporarily removed all but 5,000 posts. And, this dropped the load time to around two seconds.

    This seems to confirm what I'd already heard about database size impacting site speed--on Wordpress sites at least.

    To that end, I'm wondering if anyone can offer suggestions on how to keep the site fast as the database size grows?

    (I know I can look at Yslow and such for general speed recommendations, but I'm asking for advice specifically on improving speed while increasing the database size.)

    Thanks!

    Looking for a mind-mapping library/framework.

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 10:38 AM PDT

    I'm currently building a editable mind-map page for a work project and I have difficulties finding a good javascript library/framework to do so.

     

    My first choice was Konva :

    Konva is an HTML5 Canvas JavaScript framework that enables high performance animations, transitions, node nesting, layering, filtering, caching, event handling for desktop and mobile applications, and much more.

    It's a very good framework when working with canvas elements, however I am not very comfortable with canvas and I would prefer a SVG approach.

     

    Then I stumbled across Mindmup :

    MindMup is a zero-friction mind map canvas. Our aim is to create the most productive mind mapping environment out there, removing all the distractions and providing powerful editing shortcuts.

    Which is a very good example of what I am trying to achieve, the only problem is the lack of documentation.

     

    Finally I went with d3.js :

    D3.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating documents based on data. D3 helps you bring data to life using HTML, SVG, and CSS. D3's emphasis on web standards gives you the full capabilities of modern browsers without tying yourself to a proprietary framework, combining powerful visualization components and a data-driven approach to DOM manipulation.

    I even found some guy on Stack Overflow with the same need as mine (link), but for the love of me his code is not very readable..

     

    So here I am requesting your knowledge on the matter : do you know a library/framework that I could use to create shape/link (draggable and droppable) or resources that might be useful in my quest ?

    Thanks in advance !

     

    NB : Sorry for my english, it's not my first language..

    Developing websites using CMS?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 12:11 PM PDT

    So I have a pretty good understanding about HTML, CSS, PHP JavaScript, that sort of babble. Now I'm wondering what's the most reasonable way to develop a website that utilizes a CMS? I've tried Wordpress, but, in your opinion, is it okay to just create a site and then start adding Wordpress syntax to it? Is there a 'correct' way? Say I want to make a website that looks like [design], but I also want the user to be able to edit the front-end somewhat - posts, images, banner background image, whatever.

    I am very lost. I want to develop websites and do it correctly, but the amount of choices is overwhelming. Right now I have so many questions, but I can't even put into words what I want to ask.

    Basically, can you point me in a direction?

    Labels and Fieldsets and Legends, oh my!

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 09:42 AM PDT

    It's that time again. About once a year I try to do a little research into the best practices for building forms. And every year I seem to go away a little disappointed that there doesn't seem to be much consensus among developers.

    Which isn't all bad. It's great to have the flexibility in how we build things. My biggest concern is just making sure I'm making my forms as accessible as (reasonably) possible.

    Has anyone here run across any cool articles lately when it comes to best practices, accessibility (ADA Compliance) and the like? 😋

    Noob question about web developer portfolios - does the design matter?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 08:01 AM PDT

    Hello all. I'm an aspiring web developer. I'm putting together a portfolio site and I was wondering how much the front end / design matters. I find myself gravitating toward javascript and back end tech more than front end CSS and design. I was wondering about how much a portfolio page design matters to prospective employers.

    If I put together a fairly basic portfolio page with bootstrap is that going to be seen as a bad thing?

    I don't want to put too much time into fiddling with CSS and trying to do something creative with it when I'd honestly rather focus on learning / coding other things.

    Noob question - Title not showing in the tab.

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 03:28 PM PDT

    So as i've stated in the title for some reason my website won't show the title i want for it after being uploaded to a server. The title works when i test the site on my local pc, but as soon as i upload it online the title is not there. It seems like someting is generating additional code at the begining but i have no clue what it is or how to remove it.

    the site it: www.overthought.eu

    Question regarding bootstrap?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 05:41 AM PDT

    I'm taking an online udemy course for front end dev and I just finished the html and css part currently working on the bootstrap part. From what I understand, boostrap is basically a css class libraries with pre-made styling available to be used which makes the workflow more efficient saving time.

    I don't know how the learning curve will be for this but I'm thinking of just going through the basics of bootstrap and just study how the code is written for each styling class to be more css proficient rather than being good at bootstrap and just move on to javascript.

    What do you think?

    also, bit off topic, but would it be fine to have the same name for name attribute and class attribute???

    Website structure

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 05:26 AM PDT

    I'm starting to get into website making and you take the courses - HTML/CSS/... but seem to have skipped the basics. How is the structure of the website as a whole build up? You have your index and home page, but do you code a html file for each and every link that there is on the homepage or am i missing something? e.g. sites like ebay must have a gazillion url links? Thanks

    Can I add a second site to my existing Amazon AWS S3 Hosting?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 02:05 PM PDT

    I recently set up a site (personal portfolio) using the free Amazon S3 hosting, with the domain name registered using their Route 53 service, using Wordpress as CMS. I would like to register a second domain name and host a second site in the same dashboard, still using Wordpress. Can I simply follow the same tutorial I did to set up the first instance? Will it necessitate a change to my hosting account? This may be a stupid question, I'm just a DIYer and I've never had more than two websites going at the same time before. Thanks!

    Does anybody know how to setup SSL Websites Locally?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 07:57 AM PDT

    It's been 48hours since i started searching on the internet for this , and it's seems impossible , i've tried with WAMPSERVER , MAMP PRO,WAMPDEVELOPER, XAMPP, it just doesn't work...

    Im trying to move a wordpress website to my local Dev Environment.

    Did everything (Duplicator -> Deployed website -> Website works fine under http:

    Trying Self-singing Cert with OpenSSL made *.crt and *.key -> it just shows ERR_CERT.)

    So i tried with all the tutorials that i could find, the only thing i could make work under https was the localhost (making a crt with this conf:

    [ v3_req ] # Extensions to add to a certificate request basicConstraints = CA:FALSE keyUsage = nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment subjectAltName = @alt_names [alt_names] DNS.1 = localhost DNS.2 = www.localhost IP.1 = 127.0.0.1 IP.2 = 192.168.0.100

    )

    And then imported my crt to the certificate manager on windows .

    the other virtualHosts don't work. I tried making a cert for each domain but it doesn't work...

    Is this actually possible? Im not using .dev.

    Is there a learning programme for a beginner self-learner?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 09:31 AM PDT

    Hi everyone. Been posting a few times here recently, asking for help and guidance as I am relatively new to web development ( been learning on my own for about a month and half now ) so here I am once again, with a maybe stupid post =)

    I have learnt the basics of HTML (which in general isn't anything hard and its pretty straight forward) and CSS (flexbox,animations,responsivness to a certain extent, box-model etc. and I've recently started learning CSS Grid though I still have a little bit tough time with it), so my question is, what would be the next step? JS? How can I know for sure that I know HTML/CSS good enough to take the next step? I can make websites, have made a few remakes of a certain websites as well, but then again, I feel like I miss something, like there`s some kind of gap between what I know now, and what I should know to start learning JS(the heavier stuff in this category :D). Is there some kind of a programme, list, order, that a self-learner should / could follow to make learning on your own a bit easier? Or shall I just go and buy a Udemy course from Colt, or Brad? Thanks in advance, every comment is appreciated :)

    What's the easiest way to make your website responsiveness?

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 07:08 AM PDT

    Hey everyone.

    I am currently trying to make my website responsive, and I am having to use Chromes responsive tools, wait for site to break, and then add a media query for that specific width. Now I spent the whole day yesterday starting it, and I can imagine its going to take me at least 2 more days.

    I am wondering is there an easier way of doing this? Or am I doing it right by going through the site until it breaks?

    Hyperlink image in a media query

    Posted: 13 Mar 2018 09:19 AM PDT

    I've been putting together a newsletter. I just noticed that when I shrink the browser to tablet and mobile sizes the images no longer are hyperlinked.

    I'm guessing this is because they become different images when the screen breaks. However, I was under the impression that a media query screen break would just change the image and leave the link alone. I'm figuring out that's not the case. I can't seem to figure out how to retain the link. Does anyone have a solution?
