    Do I have a realistic goal? web developers

    Do I have a realistic goal?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 06:17 AM PDT

    I "started" learning web development at the beginning of the year with Colt Steele's class on Udemy. I got through a little bit of the back end stuff, and stopped short of databases, and then fell off the wagon.

    About 3 weeks ago I got Andrei Neagoie's class and have been working through it. Stopping just after the React portion. The React portion really let me know that I'm not as good at vanilla JS as I should be. So I've started Wes Bos' JavaScript30, and will probably take his Flexbox.io course after.

    I try to study at least an hour or two every night, and 4-5 hours on the weekend. I can't dedicate a "full day" studying due to a full time job.

    My ultimate goal is to be able to at least freelance a little and make my own full stack projects by the beginning of 2019. I'd like to eventually change careers to webdev in the future.

    With all that in mind, is that a realistic goal?

    Vuesax: Vue.js Framework Components

    Better to learn React or Vue?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 02:33 PM PDT

    Currently trying to figure out what framework to learn to push my knowledge further. I've heard pros and cons of each but still can't decide which direction to go. I heard Vue is an easier framework to learn but React can scale better for larger applications and is backed by Facebook.

    I also work at an agency that uses WordPress as a base and we develop custom themes for that. We mainly used ACF for custom fields, but with WordPress switching to Gutenberg we will need to learn to build custom blocks for that, which I believe is built in React.

    What I'm really asking is what are people's experiences with these frameworks and what your recommendation would be? For my current situation, but also future employment opportunities?

    New project suggestion

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 03:46 PM PDT

    Hi I am a flask and node js developer and I am thinking of doing a web based project that is somewhat related to either memes, torrents or porn. I want all the content to be user generate so that my sole job is to improve the website bugs and add more features later on. The whole purpose of this project is to improve my skills as a programmer. I would be hosting that site on GC or AWS inorder to get my hands dirty with docker and improve my devops skills as well. Can you guys suggest some good ideas that I can start working on.

    Thoughts about Developing Frontend with Java?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 12:17 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I just got moved to a project at work that uses Java (Vaadin) to create frontend for quite a complex website. The idea of frontend in Java gives me the chills and I want to know what you think.

    First off, I do not see the point of investing time to learn a frontend framework that deviates from the mainstream. Learning Java is great, but a lot of time will be put into getting the UI just right (something that is hardly transferable, in my view), and due to its esoteric nature, resources are limited and a lot depends on our own trial and error. Even more time is lost because nobody internally has the time to document what works, and none can be found online. The question that springs to mind is - "How will this contribute to my skill set?".

    The idea that the server will handle most of the frontend state management and logic hardly makes any sense to me too (all that browser capabilities wasted!). From what I see in my current project, the frontend seems laggy which I suspect could be related to this point.

    And lastly, a lot of the UI in the frontend depends, in the end, on javascript libraries. Someone will have to create a Java/Vaadin wrapper around these js libraries to make it usable, which limits what is available. And the documentation for them are sparse (if they even exist). The process of importing js, translating it to Java, and back to js in the end just seemed unnecessarily complex!

    I'm deciding if I want to drop out of the project, and interested to know if my views are biased in any way. Let me know your thoughts!

    Mid-thirties career change. More likely to break into C#/Enterprise web-dev or Java/Startup web-dev?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 12:09 PM PDT

    TLDR; Mid-thirties career change. Which is a safer bet or easier to break into? C#/Enterprise web-dev or Java/Startup web-dev?

    Hey guys. First time posting on reddit. I'll condense this as much as I can. I've been studying front end web development (Javascript as primary language) while working abroad full-time as a teacher for the last few years. My degree is in linguistics and I've been an English teacher living abroad for all of my professional career. Very soon I will be able to dedicate a couple of years to intensive study, but I don't know which specialization to shoot for. I also understand that I'm talking about front-end jobs as related to their back ends.

    Basically, I'm a creative person (graphics, music, photos) who "matches" well with a startup/open source development environment, in theory. At the same time, I'm getting the impression that a late starter like me might be able to break into the less "sexy" world of .NET development because of a lack of competition and there being more job opportunities in the midwest/east coast. (Where I'll probably end up.)

    Is a late starter more or less likely to be considered for .NET enterprise jobs? Will I just get blocked by HR and effectively never be given a chance?

    Is the startup world going to look me over more than enterprise because of age and lack of experience? Or vice versa?

    I know I can freelance and volunteer more with an open stack. Is that enough of an "easy" experience boost to make the startup path a no-brainer?

    I'm willing to do IT/help desk work so I have extra options and another path to break in. Does that make the Windows stack more appealing?

    It would be nice to use my design skills in a development job, but it's not really a deciding factor for me.

    What else should I be concerned about?

    I keep reading "it's all basically the same and you should just do what you like," but if the likelihood of me getting a .NET job over a Java one is 60%-40%, I'll take the advantage. If it's all more or less 50-50, I'll have to weigh based on other factors.

    Sorry if this is a mess! Life is beyond hectic right now.

    Do you remember where you were the day you realized you could label form fields as arrays[]?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 10:33 AM PDT

    <input name="options[name]" />

    1997 Pre-StackExchange... It was afternoon, I was sitting at my desk at school, partially ignoring the days lesson, struggling with the concept of POST variables and how to retrieve them and what / how to properly logically group related data by coming up with these ridiculous naming conventions... Meanwhile, todays lesson happened to be about arrays, how to create them, what they are good for.

    and for the hell of it I tried it as the name of the field, printed the array in my back end code (perl) and holy sh*t....

    my life changed after that :P not really, but maybe....

    Rate limit of Facebook api calls

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 10:57 AM PDT

    I am building an app that queries the fb api. Before I build the app I'm trying to find out what the limit is to query their servers.

    The application will query fb for the amount of times a page has been shared or liked.

    I read from Facebook developers (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/advanced/rate-limiting/) this page says the rate is determined by the amount of users. My issue is that the only user will be my server.

    Is there an easier way?

    Bundler Showdown: Webpack, Parcel, and Rollup (Open Source Project)

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 08:54 AM PDT

    Hey everyone! We have made a dev tool to help fellow developers compare the performance of the leading web bundling technologies: Webpack, Parcel, and Rollup.

    Our goal was to give the open source community a performance comparison tool and make migration from one bundler to another easy. We automatically generate the config files and run the bundlers on your project in an Electron app, and output beautiful D3 visualizations to show detailed build time and sizes at the individual module level.

    Comments and suggestions are welcome!

    Our Github repo: https://github.com/bundlebee/bundle-bee

    [Angular] Angular 6 RxJS issue

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 03:10 AM PDT

    I have a login.component

     login() { this.accountService.login(this.model) .subscribe( response => { //do stuff }, (error: AppError) => { // do stuff }, );

    a login service 

     login(loginModel: LoginModel) { return this.post('auth/login/', loginModel).pipe( tap(response => { if (response) { this.localStorage.setItemSubscribe(AppStorageKeys.JWT, response); } }));

    }

    and a httpinterceptor

     intercept(req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> { const headerSettings: { [ name: string ]: string | string[]; } = {}; return this.localStorage.getItem(AppStorageKeys.JWT).pipe( mergeMap((token: any) => { if (token) //add to headers --removed for simplification const apiReq = req.clone({ url: `${environment.apiBase}/${req.url}`, headers: newHeader }); return next.handle(apiReq); })); }

    When login fails the login.component shows the error. When login is successful, the token is retrieved from the api successfully, as I can see from the network tab in dev tools, but the value is never stored in the map function in login.service nor is the response => {} function called within the login.component.ts - yet error does?

    What am I doing wrong?

    What back-end should I pick up on after HTML/CSS + JS? Sorry if you folks get this all the time..

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 02:47 PM PDT

    The reason why I'm asking this again is because I was originally going to pick up Colt Steele's popular web dev video, but I've read that it's quite out to date. Now, I'm not sure where to go.

    Just a little background about me which might help you point me to a better direction:

    I play around with HTML/CSS quite often and say I'm good at for that part. You can laugh at this one, but I mainly learned HTML/CSS from Myspace THEN Tumblr days. However, "major" part I didn't know well about CSS were flex + grid. I've been using them more often and I'm getting comfortable using them.

    I neglected my interest in becoming a true web dev until recently after picking up on JS to make web tools for personal use. I'm currently using Jonas Schmedtmann's The Compete Javascript Course 2018 and I'm almost done with it.

    I have an AS in Computer Science which to me doesn't mean much. I did have a PHP course, but that was about 3 years ago and I don't remember a thing as it was more like a "do this, do that" course.

    Anyway, enough about me. I need some pointers.

    Thanks in advance!

    How will I know when I'm not a junior anymore?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 01:55 AM PDT

    I'm a junior ruby developer. I've been doing what I do for just over a year, and as such I'm under no illusions when it comes to the amount of experience I'm able to draw upon when I write this post. I ask this question because I've found myself in what I think is a pretty unique position in my first job as a Ruby dev. Lemme fill you in:

    This job I have, I'm now the only Ruby developer in the entire company. There was a senior and he left, and he hasn't been replaced, and won't be for some time. As much as I'm willing to make space for whatever internal biz stuff is going on to make my mentorship a non priority, I am very much on my own. As such, I've learnt how to do all these things that were off limits to me before. I've learnt how to set up circleci to run the entire test suite whenever I push to production. I've learnt how to automate a csv export from our drive account and write it to a local db with bash scripting. Generally, the things I didn't imagine possible when I did this insane fast paced bootcamp, I have since taught myself. I learnt haml, I've learnt rabl, ive namespaced an application to serve both, I can do, quite frankly, other-worldly things with Ruby's CSV class. I learnt lumen when I had to, I made an entire database using nothing but Google sheets and formulas exporting the client's product matrix in a way that an sqlite database in a Xamarin application would understand, generating primary and foreign keys on each sheet. I used teamview to unzip a new version of rails on some complete stranger's windows machine and linked it to the /var/www/current folder in the putty session they opened for me.

    The point is, I'm doing this all on my own without a manager who knows Rails despite protest, for a disproportionately low amount of money whilst simultaneously incurring overtime that wouldn't happen if I had support. Pull request reviews are always interesting cause I can only ever get reviewed on my logic and not the inner machinations of whether I did things "The Rails Way". Sometimes avoidable mistakes are made because I literally have no soundboard, or I work longer hours simply cause things take longer on my own. I'm unable to advocate for myself how far I've come with the technology I'm using because no one else here has experience with it. Google is essentially my senior dev. Where I'm working just about everyone knows JavaScript, but only I know Ruby. I know it's only been a year, but I'm in way over my head. At what point am I able to ask for more money, or at least force the hire of a line manager? Even better - at what point am I no longer a junior, and how do I convince someone I'm ready to step up when no one else has any grasp of my level of rails development?

    someone registered a domain using my personal information

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 10:35 AM PDT

    Someone used my name, phone number, and email address to register an account with a hosting provider and registered a domain which is now live. I went to the address and inspected the page and I suspect it of being malicious, . Since it is all registered as mine, I am very worried.

    I contacted the hosting provider and told them about this and I was told to email their abuse department, so who knows how long they will take to get back to me.

    Is there anything I can do to get this website taken down?

    How can I check if SQL row exists and retrieve it in a single query?

    Posted: 21 Aug 2018 02:17 PM PDT

    I was doing some error checking and noticed something that seems pretty obvious now..

    I'm using an if() statement to check if a query returns anything and then running the query again to actually retrieve the results, I'm performing a seemingly unnecessary number of queries against my database.

    https://pastebin.com/Rq3cNPhd

    for instance each time I execute the above, it performs two queries. Is there a better way to handle this?

    Brainstorming: Illustrated Effect

    I am attempting to take a user uploaded photo (taken in front of a green screen) and apply an "illustrated" effect to said photo. I am currently messing with fabric.js and it seems to have some features that will be helpful such as removing the green, gray-scaling the image, maybe adding some noise, etc. Was just curious if anyone had any other ideas or insight into other libraries, etc. Thanks all!

    XAMPP - Cont

    So my previous XAMPP Post was about fixing some issues there which I didnt know how to fix. Turns out I was look at the right web page on how to fix it but just didn't do it all. I now have both Apache and MySQL Running on my XAMPP Control Panel (Running in Admin) with Apache running on port 80 : 443 and MySQL on 3307 (as 3306 was taken by something else) I then go to localhost/phpmyadmin to continue my work and get a few errors. Thinking that I did something wrong I went to the control panel and hit the Admin button on the MySQL row. Same errors come up. Ive looked around google to find nothing that fixes my issues some I come here yet again to seek some help. Here are the current Error's
