    Am I good enough for a junior dev position?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 06:35 AM PDT

    About 6 years ago a friend encouraged me to start learning web design with the free courses and tutorials on the net. I began on Codecademy (which appears to no longer be free), completed their HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery courses. I also did courses on several other websites, watched many videos, many tutorials etc. I then did a short business course and started up a business with this friend that got me into web design. He left after a year as we were not making much money at all. We did a few projects for free or for very little. After he left I continued on my own for 2 years but again I was doing projects either for free or for very little.

    I've been trying for a couple of years to get a junior web dev position with a company but I've never even had an interview. I used to live in London but moved to Scotland a year ago in hopes it would be easier to get a job in this field. I'd really appreciate some advise. Are my skills good enough for a junior web dev position?

    Here's a few sites that I've made.

    http://takomo.co.uk/ (the business that I tried to run)

    http://cardsdiningsociety.com/

    http://takomo.co.uk/rafiaweb/ (click logo to enter site)

    http://takomo.co.uk/extratechtemplate/ (home page only)

    http://takomo.co.uk/bluepink/ (made with my friend. homepage and company pages)

    http://brookstrust.co.uk/

    I've been working in retail for the past 2 years and I hate it. Would really love a web dev job. If my skills aren't good enough for even a junior position, what should I learn next? I have a couple of courses waiting on Udemy, and I just completed an Illustrator course to improve my page designing skills a little.

    Thanks so much. Any help is appreciated.

    When uploaded to Twitter, logo loses quality

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 11:40 AM PDT

    How do I get 'A' to display with the clarity of 'B', or 'C' - when uploaded to Twitter?

    Everywhere else, the logo is in PNG format and appears very crisp. The white 'static' when uploaded to Twitter is bothersome and I need it fixed.

    Tattoos in a workplace - Europe / Amsterdam.

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 02:56 AM PDT

    I am considering getting tattoos on my hands. Nothing offensive, both are drawings of faces but I can't stop thinking whether it will have any influence on my hire-ability.

    In future I will be looking for a position as a front-end developer / designer so there is a chance that I might have to work with clients.

    Personally I think that a tattoo makes you look more interesting but I believe that in the eyes of some people I might look unprofessional.

    I mentioned Europe / Amsterdam because it is my current location and knowing that there are international developers on this sub I aim to get opinions from European developers / interviewers on this topic.

    How does CSS positioning work?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 04:02 PM PDT

    I forgot most of my CSS. This thread made me want to relearn positioning. Can someone explain how to tame positioning? How to make things hover over (and not hover over) and all that? The other CSS is easier to find but positioning is the least understood part

    For example how would I have C box go under A box without moving the HTML to be before A? https://jsfiddle.net/bewnok9d/4/

    How to make objects appear to float while scrolling?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 08:07 AM PDT

    A couple websites have this effect where when you scroll up and down between sections, it seems like their objects are floating. It almost seems like a parallax effect is applied to each item, but each moves slightly off from each other.

    EX: https://www.spaceapegames.com/| https://orus-executivesearch.com/

    Does anyone know how I can achieve this effect/find resources on how to learn? Even keywords to search would be helpful, as I don't know what this is called! Thanks!

    What would be a meaningful WebApp to build for the World?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 03:38 PM PDT

    I need a website idea that will improve one aspect in life. For example: Musk's SpaceX improved space travel beyond recognition, Google and Fb are working on AI, KhanAcademy on teaching people stuff in mostly english, Duolingo: Languages, CodeCademy: teaching people to code. What could I make that has any meaning? I've been struggling for a while to get any sort of idea.

    web developers who don't code and code after work for self-studying, how's it going?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 11:19 AM PDT

    Out of curiosity I would like to ask. There seems to be developers who code in their spare time and those who do not code after work with the mindset of "works stays at work" in order to avoid burnout.

    For those who has been working as developers for years matching one of the conditions provided, how has it been in terms staying in job and working in different companies?

    What does this mean in the Youtube API?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 01:40 PM PDT

    I'm trying to mess around the API and retrieve data but there's this part that I couldn't really get.

    for search_result in search_response.get("items", []):

    if search_result["id"]["kind"] == "youtube#video":

    title.append(search_result['snippet']['title'])

    description.append(search_result['snippet']['description'])

    videoId.append(search_result['id']['videoId'])

    response = youtube.videos().list(

    part='statistics, snippet',

    id=search_result['id']['videoId']).execute()

    if 'channelId' in response['items'][0]['snippet'].keys():

    channelId.append(response['items'][0]['snippet']['channelId'])

    WebDev Careers Paying a Pittance?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 12:12 PM PDT

    Hey guys!

    So I have recently started a coding bootcamp, and am having a lot of fun learning python and stepping my toes into the developer ocean. The classes are free and meet after work hours, so I am not missing anything in terms of opportunity cost taking the courses. I have a huge interest in webdev, and do a little coding in my work as a BA, so alot of me taking the course is just based on fun, a new challenge, and intellectual curiosity.

    At the end of the program we have the option of doing an apprenticeship in the hopes of a full-time job. As an apprentice you would start at $15 / hr and then once you prove yourself be given a full-time role. Then I guess work your way up to making like $80K per year (that was talked about as a high number).

    I live in the southeast and currently make ~$95k as a BA, get paid very well in terms of the city I live in. I have an engineering degree, varied work experiences b/w finance / IT, and 10+ years of post-college job experience under my belt. It sounds EXTREMELY unappealing in terms of economics to me to become a developer - is this accurate?

    For ppl in the field, what are normal salaries and how long does it take to be making around $100k (not in SF or NY where the cost of living is so high)? What are options outside of doing an apprenticeship to make as much as possible while still learning and getting experience with code? Would it require a lot of projects on my own / joining opensource projects to showcase my skillset? I don't mind doing that until I have enough of a portfolio to (hopefully) command a reasonable salary...

    Compositing and Clipping in Canvas

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 08:12 AM PDT

    Can you show different versions of a website based on viewer's connection speed?

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 11:11 AM PDT

    Basically just looking to use a video version of a site I'm building (through Wordpress), but only for users with an internet connection speed above 10mbps or so. A lot of the clients of this company are in rural areas so that might be as much as a 50/50 split, and I don't want to slow down site load times for low-speed users. Can this be done with a Wordpress plugin? I don't have a lot of skill with development so it would have to be a fairly straightforward process.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Web Vulnerabilites

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 10:21 AM PDT

    Hello World

    I recently switched job from beeing a software dev to intern as a sec analyst/ pentester. I started this transition by doing some online challenges and reading up on software and network vulnerabilites.

    How familiar are you with web vulnerabilities and exploits? Are you using PHP (lol)? Or are you just curious?

    While learning about security I started recording me and uploading it to youtube. Maybe you'll find something interesting or learn about a new vulnerability that you just implemented today (by accident of course).

    If you're interested I can provide you some light and entertaining material on this subject:

    I hope you will enjoy some of my content.

    When a lot of bootcamps focus on Web Development and the numerous amount of sites/apps automating this job, will this field die or become the lowest paid among the software development fields?

    Give active class to menu based on carousel-item

    Posted: 27 Jul 2018 08:43 AM PDT

    Hey there /r/webdev , i'm kinda stuck with this one and i hope you can help me ,

    Im Using using the bootstrap 4 carousel, and i've been trying to make the menu items highlight when a specific carousel is active (just adding the '.active' class). Here is an example :

    https://imgur.com/jqy2on2

    I was able to achieve this using the menu anchors :

    $(".link-home a").click(function() { $("#myCarousel").carousel(0); $(".menu-item a").removeClass('active'); $(".link-home a").addClass('active'); });

    But i can't do it with the controls.

    Is there any other option?
