| Any self taught webdevs who got a job in Germany? Posted: 02 Aug 2018 01:55 PM PDT Hey guys, I hope this is the right sub to post this at. My wife and I moved to Germany last year and I've spent the last year basically jobbing, doing my mandatory B1 course + Integration course. In any case, I've been thinking about a change in career as my previous line of work as a professional touring musician is a bit of a dead end here, at least to begin with, so I've opted to continue doing so as a hobby and pursue something else and decided to pick up some coding and teach myself to become a Web Developer. The whole German system's quite something else and the bureaucracy is absolutely relentless, so I worry about going down the self-taught route as I've heard (and experienced with my old temp job and wife's work as well) the German employers love to see legit qualifications. It seems that my best option is to get on some sort of course just to have a piece of paper to show a potential employer. Everyone I've spoken to seem to imply that this is the way to go, although, I should add that none of these people know how the tech world works so they're all essentially guessing too. This is why I'm here. On one hand, it never hurts to have legitimate proof of what you are capable of in terms of an official certification or whatever, but at the same time (and this may be my Musician brain talking) I feel like your portfolio should speak for itself. My wife's the only person earning right now, and having to pay for a course that leaves me unable to work until it's completion sounds quite expensive in terms of both money and time, but at the same time, teaching myself and building a portfolio also does the same thing, except it's not necessarily so hard on the wallet, so I'm a bit unsure what route to take - especially in Germany. Have any of you had any experience working in Germany? How much does bureaucracy get in the way of the tech jobs here? How does it even work? Also, Have you got any tips for someone just picking this up? I'm sorry for the rambling post, but if you've managed to get so far, I thoroughly appreciate you taking the time. Thanks, guys!

| I keep being called by people with Indian accents for jobs, is this normal? Posted: 02 Aug 2018 08:26 AM PDT Hello everyone. For a past couple weeks, after finishing up a big node.js project and adding it to my resume, I've been applying to jobs left and right. Other than getting one response that was from someone in my state of New York, most of the people calling me about jobs, mostly contract jobs, were callers with Indian accents. Not saying I got problems with people Indian people, just that I find it, unusual that I'm applying to jobs mostly in america but I'm often getting calls from people with Indian accents.

| What do you say when an interviewer asks you "What are you expecting in terms of compensation?" Posted: 02 Aug 2018 12:08 PM PDT I've heard a number of different strategies such as aiming high, or not naming a number at all, and wait for the interviewer to give a number. What are your suggestions? [link] [comments]  | ||

| I launched a simple, open-source platform for sharing multiple social network profiles in one place Posted: 02 Aug 2018 01:42 PM PDT I just launched a small web service/app. I know this looks like a promo thing, but it's completely non-profit, open source and I'm only in it for the experience. So... There's also an iframe template for easy integration into other web apps and for the devs there's a super simple REST GET endpoint for further use of the data. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Aug 2018 08:19 AM PDT I've been working on a tool for developers who code using open source packages (npmjs.org, pypi.org, rubygems.org, etc). I was with annoyed with having to stop development for a project because a package had changed and broke my build in a way that rolling back a commit wouldn't fix it! I've made a free tool to deal with this, and I'm looking for beta users and some feedback from actual developers. If you have 2 minutes to spare, I'd love your help! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Aug 2018 10:52 AM PDT Hi, I'm working in a web agency with multiple of clients and something that seems to always come back is issues with the Google account for use for API keys, Analytics and all. When the client doesn't want use to have access to their Google account or just doesn't have one, we made a new one for them. The problem is, for creating an account, we need to make a phone validation and there's a limit on how many account you can link to a number. We are a the point where all our phone numbers are blocked to create a new one. Is there a better way to do this expect force the client to create an account themself? Is there a way to have a Web Agency account that can control multiple accounts? Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||
| How do I go about setting a domain name for a website hosted on a local machine? Posted: 02 Aug 2018 03:39 PM PDT Hi! Bit of a nooby question... I have a raspberry Pi that's hosting my website (publicly) via Apache2. I was wondering, is it possible to set a domain name for it? So for example, instead of having to type '95.272.452.84:1234/myFile.html' (not actual address) I would like to type 'www.MyWebSite.com'. I'd want this to work for connections outside of my local network too. Is this possible to do or do I have to buy the service from NameCheap or a similiar site? Thanks in advance!

| [question] CSS tree diagram help Posted: 02 Aug 2018 03:34 PM PDT Hello, I am trying to adapt a CSS-based tree for a complex algorithm that I am working on which has several layers of steps. A rough outline of the algorithm is here: https://jsfiddle.net/d1r7yc38/show I have a few questions: 1) When there are lots of items, some of the branches that are higher up get quite distorted with one side being significantly longer than another. How would I change the CSS so that the children are centered relative to their parents? (like http://bl.ocks.org/d3noob/8326869) 2) How can I make items from the same "generation" align with each other vertically? 3) What's the best way to add labels to the branches? (eg. yes/no) 4) Are there other alternatives to display this type of data? I've tried the d3 collapsible vertical menu a bit, but it's a lot more difficult to style than this CSS-based one. Thanks!

| Good resources to learn about browsers/caching/security etc. Posted: 02 Aug 2018 11:43 AM PDT As the title says. What are some good resources to learn about things related to webdev, that are more general? So I mean things like security, caching, browser engines, debbuging JS and preventing memory leaks etc. What else should I know about in either backend/frontend to get a better understaing of what's going on under the hood. Maybe some good blogs/youtube channels to follow? I know that's a lot of stuff, but I mostly see things related to CSS/HTML/JS. Also, another question. How not to end up as a "code monkey"? EDIT: what are some good books about modern JS that every developer should read? Or just I just stick to documentation when I need to lookup something. [link] [comments]  | ||
| What are some websites that I can clone to improve my frontend knowledge? Posted: 02 Aug 2018 06:28 AM PDT I am working on improving my HTML and CSS. What are some websites that I can clone or use as inspiration to learn about best practices and sane choices when designing the layout and such? [link] [comments]  | ||
| First byte speed is 1.3s on company website Posted: 02 Aug 2018 09:12 AM PDT Hey guys, So I have a background in IT but I work in marketing. Our website uses WordPress and our first byte speed is 1.3s which is horrible and our total speed is 4s. Is this because of our host/server? We are hosted by OVH. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Cloudflare vs. Cloudfront as Enterprise CDN options for international company/website Posted: 02 Aug 2018 07:24 AM PDT Good morning, We are planning to stand up a CDN service for our site/CMS and all of the external services it is relied on for (sending content and imagery to components in apps mainly). I was doing some research (on CloudFront and Cloudflare) and since we have AWS in house already I was leaning towards CloudFront until I saw this comparison: https://www.cdnoverview.com/cdn/compare/cloudflare-vs-amazon-cloudfront/ Can anyone speak to the validity of this comparison? I have never started a CDN from scratch but it seems odd that there would be so many options that Amazon just doesn't support. Several of them seem like deal breakers (I am not worried about free vs. paid at this point - i just need to know that certain options are available). I am aware of Cloudfront as a player in DNS market but had not idea they also did CDN. Any comments regarding their service? Does anyone have any recommendations or horror stories about specific CDNs? Any threads to revisit (in reddit or any site) or websites to look into for more specific and reliable information?

| How hard is it to implement a serial numbers function for Sylius if I know very basic PHP? Posted: 02 Aug 2018 02:43 PM PDT Basically I want to setup a mini site with Sylius but want to include a serial numbers function for the products, allowing me to do basic inventory tracking, since I know which product of the same series get sold. Wanted to go with a noob friendly CMS like Drupal or Joomla, but I've been recommended against. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Best boilerplate for new startup? Posted: 02 Aug 2018 02:36 PM PDT Ive Been using generator-angular-fullstack for a while, and I love it. However the lack of server side rendering is getting to my nerves. I managed to get Google working with pretender.io but Facebook requests time out. So I can't share pages to Facebook... I want a new generator with low complexity (i am a solo developer) and heroku deployment Any suggestions? I don't mind learning something new i.e. react Vue Ruby...etc [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 02 Aug 2018 10:16 AM PDT So... I'm a self taught developer. I can't really code much, but I know programming basics and I wrote a few web apps using node. I don't have any programming-related work experience. I've always been working in hospitality, which I hated, and customer service roles, which I hated even more. About a month and a half ago I decided to quit those lovely jobs in London (UK) and go back to my country (Italy), so I could enjoy the summer, relax and have plenty of time to focus on coding and get better at it. Few weeks ago I started applying for different entry level positions. I only applied for positions where the company offers some sort of training prior to the actual hiring. It's a common thing here and many companies do that. Very unexpectedly, by sending about 50 CVs, I had 6 interviews. Two of them were successful and, today, I received two job offers. First one is basically where I live, which is ABSOLUTELY important to me. It's a salesforce developer position. I didn't even know what saleforce was before seeing their ad. 4 weeks of training, and then you get hired. Not sure about salary yet, didn't ask as I have to go back to their offices and sign the contract next. The other one is a Java developer position. This one would be 5 weeks training on Java, and then you get hired for 6 months and a decent entry level salary. During the training, free food and accommodation are offered by the company to you. So, here's the problem. Java dominates the market, no question here. 80% of devs open positions require Java here. Salesforce is, from what I've read, pure SHIT. Devs hate it. You develop in their proprietary language, which means you can't do anything with it out of that platform. And also, we don't know how salesforce will be in the future. It could become as popular as Java, or it could not even exist any longer in 5 years. Also, distance. I am obviously much more keen to accept the Java developer position, but... it is far. I live in south Italy. That job's up north. Very up north. That would mean move again, leave friends and family again, start it all over again in a new city. Which I really don't feel like doing now. So, people of webdev... give me some help here. I really need it. [link] [comments]  | ||
| How often do you get math problem solving tests at the interviews? Posted: 02 Aug 2018 01:30 AM PDT Hey guys. I've been learning webdev for a while now as a hobby. And decided that it's time to start making money with it. I have a solid grasp of the holy trinity, some knowledge of node(express), mongoDB, ejs, bootstrap, git and just started to learn react. I decided to put out my cv out there, to test the waters. I got the first offer pretty much instantly. Recruiter explained to me that they are looking for react devs and don't care that I don't know it yet. He said there's going to be a bootcamp inside the company to fix that. The offer sounded amazing, but to get to the interview part, I first needed to pass a basic math problem solving test. The catch is - I'm awfull at those. I always take my time with the math, and the notion of solving 45 problems during 40 minutes makes me nauseous. Today I attempted to solve it, and as predicted - failed miserably. Iwould like to know if this practice is common during the interviews, or was it just my luck? I do realize that the ability to solve math problems fast is a great asset, and it was my plan to brush up my math skills somewhere in the future, but I just don't see it as a number one priority right now, as I would like to focus on learning react.

| Posted: 02 Aug 2018 01:11 PM PDT I've noticed when looking at JS code for larger websites, the code is usually just on one line, such as: Is this standard practice, to make a copy of your code and put it on one line once it's published? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Is there a better alternative to deploybot? Posted: 02 Aug 2018 12:51 PM PDT I have been having problems (deploy scripts do not work randomly, new angular2 cli does not work as it does on local dev etc) with deploybot and thinking about finding another solution. What do you use these days? [link] [comments]  | ||
