    Being sued for using Bootstrap carousel - any commercial alternatives?

    Posted: 11 Oct 2018 02:27 PM PDT

    Here's the deal - my company is currently being sued for patent infringement, due to our use of Bootstrap's carousel. It appears that some damn fool has obtained an extremely vague patent on the concept of a carousel, and is going around shaking down smaller companies with lawsuits.

    In discussions with our counsel, one option that we have is to purchase a commercial offering, which would in term indemnify us from all this.

    But googling around a bit, everything out there is either open source, or offered by tiny little companies who certainly wouldn't agree to carry that weight. What we need is a product from someone like Adobe or Apple, who these guys wouldn't dare approach.

    Anyone have any experience with a JS carousel product, offered by a big, bloated, mega-company?

    I have the chance of working as a remote developer within a full remote team. What are the pros and cons of working remotely?

    Biggest worry is about feeling isolated/lonely.

    Getting started with CSS Grids

    Posted: 11 Oct 2018 11:55 AM PDT

    Not familiar with back-end, but I'm wanting to set up a local development environment. I'm running into some issues, and I'm at my wits end.

    Posted: 11 Oct 2018 02:56 PM PDT

    Basically, nearly all of my experience is centered around front-end web development. I understand the basics behind back-end dev, but it's not my forte. However, I'm wanting to run a local development environment so I can work from home more easily. So to test everything, I'm trying to setup a server for me to work on my personal website, which uses WordPress.

    ​

    I'm on a Windows machine, so I installed IIS, set up a website on it, downloaded MySQL, PHP, and WordPress to use on my machine. According to the MySQL Workbench, my server is running, I've created a new database for WordPress to use, PHP is definitely working (I made a test .php file to be sure), but every time I try to run the setup for WordPress from my browser on localhost, everything works fine until I enter the information for it to setup the database, and it gives me the same "Error establishing database connection." I even tried manually editing the wp-config.php file, still doesn't work.

    ​

    It's very apparent that the database is the issue, and that WordPress (and therefore the website) is simply having difficulty establishing a connection.

    ​

    I verified that my hostname, user/pass, database name, etc was correct. I have no idea what I'm missing, but I've spent like 4 hours trying to fix it. Every solution I've found online tells me to either download WAMP or to download phpMyAdmin, but I don't want to because I'm also wanting to use my workstation PC to get some back end practice, so I'd rather get everything set up myself instead of using a service to do it automatically.

    ​

    But I'm stuck here, and none of the online resources I've found have been helpful. If I had to guess it would probably have something to do with permissions, but I don't know. Are there any not-as-obvious solutions to getting my database to be accessible without using WAMP/phpMyAdmin? Especially considering that the MySQL server is definitely running?

    How do you showcase your portfolio work without it being hosted?

    Posted: 11 Oct 2018 02:19 PM PDT

    I'm working on finally rebuilding my portfolio site as it's highly outdated. My question is, how do you showcase an work that isn't hosted? Of course my code is on github but I feel most employers won't install your project and most clients wouldn't even know what github is.

    Screenshots or short videos are great but tactical interaction always gets a better response.

    How would/did you solve this problem?

    Can anyone figure out why my Jquery code isn't working? I am trying to pass Javascript variables to the PHP $_SESSION array.

    Posted: 11 Oct 2018 03:45 PM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    I am trying to pass javascript variables to php. I have Jquery code inside of a function that only gets called when a user has successfully signed into Facebook through the app. At the top of my login page, (index.php) I have an if statement that will save the POST variables in the $_SESSION array. Here is the code.

    ​

    <?php

    ​

    if(isset($_POST[FbUserID] )){

    $_SESSION['FbUserID'] = $_POST['FbUserID'];

    $_SESSION['firstName'] = $_POST['first_name'];

    $_SESSION['lastName'] = $_POST['last_name'];

    $_SESSION['picture'] = $_POST['picture'];

    $_SESSION['email'] = $_POST['email'];

    $_SESSION['accessToken'] = $_POST['accessToken'];

    ​

    exit("success");

    }

    ​

    $.ajax({

    url:"index.php",

    method: "POST",

    async: true,

    data: zampClient,

    datatype: "text",

    success: function(serverResponse){

    if(serverResponse == "success"){

    window.location = "facebooktest.php";

    }else{

    window.location = "failed.php";

    ​

    }

    }

    });

    Use Google Spreadsheets as a database?

    Posted: 11 Oct 2018 09:14 AM PDT

    Can you use vanilla JavaScript with some API to parse Google Spreadsheets data on a website? I know about the security aspect of it, just thought it might be a fun thing to do, if possible. Sort of like a CMS that uses Google Spreadsheets as database and would require no server-side language, not even node.js.

    EDIT: How about Firebase?

    Video Streaming from Webcam to public website.

    Posted: 11 Oct 2018 03:04 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to implement a video streaming application. Here's an example of what I'm trying to accomplish: https://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/video-streaming-with-flask

    There is one big difference. I want the stream to be accessible from anywhere, not just localhost. I want to stream to a public website so that anyone can see the stream.

    I'm not concerned with costs or scalability right now, just the technical feasibility. I'm also trying to to use any streaming service like youtube.

    I assume that the best way to go about this is something like this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/knqiK.png

    I have the local streaming down, but I'm lost as to how to put that online.

    How to get elements to avoid the cursor?

    Posted: 11 Oct 2018 06:55 AM PDT

    Hi! I'm trying to get some elements on my page to avoid the cursor for a project that i'll be working on in the next few weeks... I've searched google and maybe I'm using the wrong words to search but I can't find anything close to what I'm looking for...

    ​

    So I'm looking for a way to have a div or image avoid the cursor when you hover over/ get to the div or image... When you hover over it, it moves away in a random direction.

    Can someone help me out with this?

    Is this even possible?

    ​

    Thanks!

    Learning Pathway to Full Stack

    Posted: 11 Oct 2018 02:06 PM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I'm sure this has been posted a million times before but I am looking to learn WebDev, in particular I want to get in to JS and the various frameworks.

    I have a computer science degree, however most of my work at Uni was in Java. I work in Data analytics currently however I am looking to move forward into web development hopefully in 6-12 months.

    I am solid in Java and Python so not strictly a beginner but know very little in terms of web related tech. I think these will help in terms of learning the back end though.

    I have purchased Colt Steele's Web Developer Bootcamp course from Udemy and it seems to be solid but just wanted to get peoples opinions on the best path to take to becoming a full stack web developer.

    Any and all constructive advice is welcome, thanks in advance!

    Full stack practice, is it easier for a beginner to start with the API, then work on the front end or the other way around?

    Posted: 11 Oct 2018 01:05 PM PDT

    Neither end has bothered me particularly badly while learning except once I had an error that took me a week to track down because I didn't understand the significance of what I was getting in the console and postman, the next time I encountered that problem it took two seconds to solve because I knew exactly where to look. So I ask, what's the best way to start as a beginner? My first app will be an app that helps me track my piano practice time.

    How quickly should I change jobs as a web developer?

    Posted: 11 Oct 2018 12:32 PM PDT

    I've just recently (within the past few months) got a job as a web developer. I've been doing web development for a few years, but this is my first job doing it (Well, my first job, actually). I'm just curious, how quickly should I plan on changing jobs? I've seen some people that change several times within a few years, and was wondering if the pay raises are worth it, or if potential employers would see your rapid job-hopping as a sign that you won't be dedicated to the company.

    Thanks in advance!
