    Website Conversion

    Posted: 24 Oct 2018 02:43 PM PDT

    I run a website which gets around 25k visitors per month which I built with Wordpress because I did not know JS/HTML/CSS etc. The site needed certain custom functionality which required me to download and use a variety of plugins which led to a slow, ugly and generally janky website.

    I recently started learning HTML, CSS and JS and I have managed to rebuild the whole website using them and it looks much better and the user experience is far better. However, I am slighly worried about migrating across as I am fearful of not including something, or somehow severely impacting the traffic of the site.

    Firstly, would it be wise at all to convert the website from Wordpress to HTML/CSS and Vanilla JS. Or should I wait until I learn react?

    Additionally, what are the best practices in ensuring that a re-design does not impact SEO or traffic?

    I know that I need an .htaccess file and also an XML sitemap, but I am not completely sure what else I need to include.

    I would appreciate any advice, thank you.

    State of California interview, what to prepare for?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2018 02:28 PM PDT

    Hi all.

    I am not new to working for the State of California, but I am extremely new to web development. I started taking classes this year and have exposure to the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, Python, C++, and JavaScript (even took MASM!), but the more I've learned the less I've felt I know. That said, I've been applying to State IT positions in my area and was actually surprised to get an interview, which I now have scheduled for next week. The position relates to web development. The online system I believe I will be working with looks like it uses jQuery, Bootstrap 3.0.0, Google Analytics...

    Do any web devs here have experience working for CA? Any insight on where I should focus my efforts in preparing for my interview? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Anyone know what was used to make this site, and also what is used for the parallax effect?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2018 03:43 PM PDT

    It seems like maybe Bootstrap or something similar was used for the grid, but I can't figure it out.

    Also wondering what they used for the parallax effect on these images. Especially the can within the big bubble effect.

    Help! Calling Web Designers for Input

    Posted: 24 Oct 2018 02:12 PM PDT

    Thanks for clicking. I am basically looking to build out a site that can integrate a forum into it.

    The idea is I present articles/studies/trends on the topic at hand, then have a forum section so visitors can talk to each other and also post testimonials of their experience.

    I am interested in having a forum laid out similarly to this website where people can also append pictures and where I can categorized different sub-forums: https://xenforo.com/community/

    Can this be integrated into Wordpress, or are only plugins able to do that?

    Authorisation using cookies admin

    Posted: 24 Oct 2018 02:11 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I have been following the Cording Garden's series about authentication and authorisation and applied it to the app I am developing. Being new to authorisation I am unsure how I should implement an admin page.

    I am using a middle-wear to check if the user is logged in but how should I do when the user is also a user. Broadly speaking, should I create another cookie which is set admin = true or should I /can i include the admin = true in the same cookie? Got a bit stuck on this..

    Alternatively, create another middle-wear that after ensured the user is logged in asking the database if user with id is admin = true.

    Any pointers to what is most common/most appropriate would be greatly appreciated.

    function ensureLoggedIn(req, res, next) {console.log("ensured login",req.signedCookies);if(req.signedCookies.user_id) { // see that user_id is set on the cookienext();

    What is the coolest Sign Up you have ever seen?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2018 11:05 AM PDT

    Sign ups are usually very boring and unimpressive. I'm almost done building a sing up page but I look at it and go 'meh'...
    I'd love to see some cool examples for inspiration. What is a sign up page that in your opinion looks great and why.
    Thanks in advance!

    Where do you draw the line between "Imposter Syndrome" and "Lack of Knowledge"?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2018 04:01 AM PDT

    So some background, I have my degree in graphic design and commercial art, but on the job learned HTML, CSS, and some JS/jQuery. I've been in the workforce for what is almost 5 years now (right out of tech school at 19) but have been doing freelance design and more graphic related stuff since 16.

    I know that I am lacking in basic programming concepts, but was hired on to a large tech company. I work in a small team that has a separate website away from the company's main tech stack, and we do it all out of our company's web editor. (WYSIWYG based, but has plenty of customizability for scripting). Up until a few months, I wasn't super worried about my lack of knowledge with things like Git, Vanilla JS/ES6, or Node, that is until I found out we will be moving into the main tech stack next year.

    I've always had a way of being able to piece some things together from examples and docs I find online, and this seems to get me from point a-to-b. I even took the initiative to complete the basic JS courses on codecademy and team treehouse, but I still find that I can't build most scripts from scratch. I would say, I can write about 30-40% of my usual jobs, but spend the other 60-70% having to reference MDN, Stack Exchange, Tutorials, IRC channels and other sources of information.

    In my original interview (and any interview I take), I always try to harp on the fact that, I don't have the same background as CS student, but I've always been able to build the things I've been tasked to do. I also put a high focus on the importance of my want/ability/and continuation of learning, which a lot of employers seem to like. But now with the migration looming overhead, I am starting to worry about my future at the company.* I think my fear is that I will be moved onto a team of actual developers(people with CS degrees) and my lack of basic know-how is going to be seen as underperforming. Even with my company's culture revolving around learning new things and trying new jobs, I feel that I will stick out way too much in that crowd.

    *I've not been told my future will change, and I get good reviews and am not in jeopardy of losing my job.

    ​

    I understand that this is more of a personal question(that would reflect on my actual skill level), but have any of you come across this feeling? Is it indeed still imposter syndrome? I am still very willing to learn, but I feel a lot of the courses I take give me the knowledge, but I don't actually retain some of the concepts.

    How to be more consistent with quality of work?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2018 02:00 PM PDT

    I've been a web developer for a bit over 2 years now, working at a company that develops products for other clients. Usually, I was working alone on projects, or alongside my peers. Earlier this year, I started working for a client with in-house developers, and they are a lot more experienced than anyone I've worked with so far.

    ​

    In the past few months working with them, I've learned more than in the 2 years working here. However, I've also never been as stressed, and felt as incompetent, as I do now. It's not because of lack of knowledge, it's just that I'm super inconsistent, and I don't know how to fix it.

    ​

    I usually finish my tickets on time, but I keep making small mistakes, which in the end, take way longer than expected. Once my code is reviewed, I'm usually working on something else already. Then, when I go back to fix my previous ticket, I make other mistakes, because I'm switching contexts, so it sometimes takes 4 or 5 reviews, before my ticket is finally approved. And further more, I still let mistakes slip through sometimes. For example, today I was asked to simply rename a variable, which I did... but I only renamed it in the scope of where I was using it, but completely missed 3 other files using it, which broke the master branch. Or, I'm changing some parts of the code, simply so I can test easier, and I somehow add it to my commit.

    ​

    What advice would you give me, to become more consistent? I've started to review my code before submitting it to other developers, which lets me catch a lot of mistakes already, but still.. the biggest problem is the very end of the ticket for me.

    Is WebGL a great technology to learn as a front end developer?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2018 09:16 AM PDT

    I'm always on Awwwards and CSS Design Awards appreciating different kinds of web applications. Most of my favorite websites use WebGL and I have noticed that many devs use it. I know it's been out for a while but I don't see/hear front end dev communities (podcasts, twitter, medium, dev.to, etc.) talk about it very much. Maybe I'm just out of the loop? Maybe I'm not researching well enough? Someone plz enlighten me.

    I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but here it goes. I'm looking to have a website where multiple authors can submit articles to be posted under their names. I'm looking for the main page to show multiple posts (like clickable titles) at once. What is the best platform for me to do this on? Wix? Squarespace? Wordpress? TIA.

    What are some text editor libraries

    Posted: 24 Oct 2018 10:52 AM PDT

    Hey guys,
    I was wondering if there are any well known libraries out there that handle text-editing. For example, when you make a post on reddit there is a box where you type the description with different icons that allow you to add bolding/italics/bullet points/ etc.

    Also, how would I store a text that has formatting to a database like postgres? Would I have to save it as raw HTML?

    Thanks!
