    Advice for a beginner, should I use bootstrap/express/nodejs/jquery when first starting?

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 10:34 PM PDT

    I'm new to web design and web development. I'v been taking "The Web Developer Bootcamp" on Udemy by Colt Steele. I'm near the end of the course and thought I would purchase my own web domain to design my first website and start making little apps to practice my new skills.

    In this online class we have basically learned how to use bootstrap, js w/ jquery, express, mongodb, and node js. My question though, is it okay to start building my website/apps using these technologies or should I try to do them without it first?

    For example, i'v been struggling for the past 1-2 hours trying to get a fixed responsive nav bar at the top of my website using only html and css. On the other hand, I'm fairly certain I could get literally the exact same thing in a couple minutes using bootstrap and then just style it a little from there. I understand these technologies are here to make our lives easier and help us out, but as a beginner should I rely on these when making my first websites, etc? Same question with express/node js/ etc.

    ​

    Thanks everyone!

    Why is ASP.NET or Java Spring not mentioned in the FAQ as major backend languages/frameworks?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 01:43 PM PDT

    Are these two languages/frameworks not as widely used? Or just not liked?

    Recommend Reading for Algorithms and Datstructures

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 12:37 AM PDT

    I'm a mostly self-taught developer and I feel that I am lacking in the more fundamental and theoretical knowledge. I would love to see any recommendations for media that would help reinforce my not only my knowledge of both algorithms and data structures but of computer science in general.

    Reselling server space?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 01:17 PM PDT

    Wondering if anyone reading this has had any experience reselling hosting? Either to a single person/company for their own space or to someone who would act as a reseller? I have two "DV w/SSDs (CentOS 7) - Level 1" accounts with Media Temple. I could technically move everything that is on one of those DVs- which is barely anything, to the second DV and use the first strictly for charged hosting. I've had this account for over 5 years by now I think and they're set to auto-renew in two years. The reason I have this is to host a website for a restaurant that's been in my family for generations... so I'm not going anywhere, nor is the hosting. So why not make some extra cash on this thing?

    ​

    Since this is already being paid for by the restaurant, it would technically be 100% profit for me. It seems incredibly simple to set up. I really can't see any downsides. I even spoke with a representative at MediaTemple who said I wouldn't be responsible if one of my "customers" violated the TOS... they would just notify me and I could take care of it from there.

    ​

    Does anyone have any experience with this? Positive or negative experiences? Are there any tips you'd have if I decide to go through with this, which I most likely will?

    Thanks.

    Best method to build a "self-quote" system?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 02:28 PM PDT

    Hello,

    We have a wholesale business for cleaning supplies. Currently, in order to receive a quote, our customers select the products they're interested in from our website (https://nacionaldeaseo.com/catalogo) and send emails or texts with their list of products, which our salespeople then capture in our Point-of-Sale system and email them their quote.

    We'd like to make this system more efficient by building what we're calling a "self-quote" system, in which we'd publish the prices of products in our site, and the customer could add them to a list and at the end print out a quote, with a unique number, as well as our contact information on it.

    We're looking to have a solution that lets customers do and print their own quotes in the site, and then contact us to arrange the order, if they wish to do so. This will free up our salespeople to work on order processing an lead acquisition through other channels, instead of having to receive and reply to customer requests for quotations.

    If this sounds almost like an eCommerce platform to you, is because that's basically what we envision it as, without the payment and shipping information part of it. Instead of a checkout button after they've added items to their cart, they'd have a "Print quotation" button that'd generate a numbered printout on their end, as well as our end, where we both can reference it should the customer decide to call.

    Why not go with a full online store instead, you ask? A few reasons:

    1. Payment processing fees are still prohibitively large for our industry and market. Most customers will look elsewhere for a 2% or 3% price difference.

    2. A lot of our logistics can't be done through suppliers that integrate with eCommerce systems, so cost of transport and scheduling still has to go through people.

    3. A lot of purchasers and customers in the industry aren't used to self-checkout and "consumer grade" eCommerce, so this will be an intermediary step that we know they'll feel comfortable with.

    Finally, our website is running on Squarespace, however, it seems it'll be very difficult to build a self-quote system on it, so we're willing to change platforms, or if possible, maintain our current site and add a link to a quotations site, hosted elsewhere, that will allow the customer to self-quote.

    I'd love any ideas, feedback or help you might be able to give regarding how to accomplish this.

    Cheers!

    Am I completely wrong?

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 10:38 PM PDT

    Hi, I was a web dev intern at a company a couple months ago and I got tasked with making a website with this basic idea:

    You sign up to a website, you create (or join) a challenge. To join or create a challenge you have to invite 5 friends first. If you invite friends and when friends join you get points.

    It's a cool idea and it was meant for challenges to save the environment.

    Here come the part where I disagree with another senior developer that told me what to do. I was in charge of making this on my own and I suggested using node.js with express for an API and a couple custom HTML pages which would grab data from that API. A simple and fast way to develop an app like that.

    The senior developer however forced me to create the whole project in WordPress. A CMS I'd used before but never really got the hang of. He told me WordPress is ideal for any situation and especially a website like this.

    I went ahead and made it in WordPress with me warning him that I didn't think WordPress is the right tool for the job because of mainly database speed and hacking certain features into plugins, I also said this would make the website have a lot of unnecessary features that won't be used and will massively slow down users speed.

    Me going against the senior developer made him mad though. He wouldn't acknowledge my thought and brushed my solution off as if I was too inexperienced and wrong.

    So my question is, was I wrong in thinking WordPress wasn't the right tool for the job and would my solution be bad?

    Why do people look down on using IDEs?

    Posted: 30 Oct 2018 07:51 PM PDT

    I've been using PHPStorn for about 2 months and a lot of my coworkers have called it clunky saying I won't need all the features and how I should switch to Atom or VS Code. I've used Atom before, and while it's nice, I ended up slowing down my text editor by using too many plugins.

    Is there any true disadvantage to using an IDE besides being a resource hog?

    My employer wants that i become an intrapreneur?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 03:05 PM PDT

    Usually, it means that i will have some personal risk in the project. But also usually you're not appointed to the project. I don't know what to think. Also i'm a junior developper (less than 2 years), and i don't know if i am ready to take such a mandate. On the other hand, it could be my chance to shine and to implement some good practice that are lacking. Any advice?

    Why does the onclick function not trigger on iOS safari browser?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 11:33 AM PDT

    I have a site on shopify and everything is working fine except when we use the site on iOS safari browser and click the "add to cart" button, it doesn't trigger the onclick function. It works fine for all the desktop browser and android phone browser aswell. The button just doesn't trigger on iOS safari

    Here is the snippet for the button:

    ​

    <a onclick="cartAdd('AM',3)"><p class="icon-cart">Add to cart</p></a>

    Where do I learn to manipulate customer uploaded art files? Like for a product configurator?

    Posted: 31 Oct 2018 11:10 AM PDT

    I'm having trouble finding resources, tutorials, frameworks etc. for taking customer uploaded artwork, and allowing the customer to manipulate said artwork on the screen.

    I'm working on creating a product configurator (think online t-shirt designer), and the user generated part is very tough to find info on.

    Can any of you point me in the right direction or offer advice?

    Thanks!

    Other details: It's not aactually a t-shirt designer, but same idea. Shopify plugins are not what I'm looking for, or full service 3rd party platforms.
