    Never be affraid of the project

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 12:56 PM PDT

    Few month ago our company took on a project and I was assigned to it. By seeing the requirements I was thinking, how the hell am I going to do this and that for about 60% of the things required. My boss knew that there will be things that I had no clue about, but still he believed in me and made me in charge of the project.

    Today I am flying through it, the clients and the boss couldn't be happier. Here are some things I have learnt along the way: - don't be affraid, - you might not know something today but tomorrow is coming, - never give up, - be patient, - accept constructive feedback, - brainstorm things with anyone, even if people don't know how to code, they might be able to suggest ideas that you didn't think of at the time

    Hope that helps someone

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 06:25 AM PDT

    New update on a game. So probably I think I finished one part of this game. Fixed bugs that I saw. Seems to work fine at the moment. So this is what is possible to do in the game:

    1. Login / Register
    2. Choose type
    3. Upgrade stats with points, you get points every level up. Max level is 100
    4. Upgrade stats with gold by buying items from market
    5. Possible to sell items
    6. Buying health items from shop to restore health
    7. If you run out of gold or don't have health items now you can Revive. You can revive 3 times in one hour.
    8. Auto fighting don't need to click attack button every time.
    9. Can't attack same player twice in one minute

    A new language/IDE for Frontend Development, requesting feedback.

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 05:03 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if i can get some feedback for a language and IDE I created.

    Here's the link https://nocturn.io

    Direction

    The overall direction of Nocturn is to be kind of like the Ikea of web frameworks. With this analogy Vue, React, and Angular would be like building custom home with custom furniture. Wordpress, Wix would be like renting a hotel room. Nocturn aims to be somewhere in between; where curated components and modules allow just enough customization to get the job done.

    The framework is composed of two pieces, Nocturn (IDE) and CML (domain specific language).

    CML

    CML (component markup language) is a domain specific language for creating Single Page Applications. My goal is to remove the context switching commonly associated with web development. Personally I've never liked switching between html, css, and javascript.

    CML is essentially a superset of javascript, where the elements of markup (html) and css are included in a "json" like notation.

    Architecturally, it is meant to separate the act of "designing" components and "using" components.

    For example,

    Dev A can

    • Write a component in React, Vue, jQuery, javascript/html, etc
    • Add it to the CML library

    Then Dev B can

    • Use the component in CML without needing to know React, Vue, jQuery, etc
    • Intermix the component with others of different frameworks

    Non-web programmers (Dev B) are often tasked with making websites for internal tools and such. These projects usually don't get the support they need; they tend to miss web programmers, designers, or both. Without any specialization, learning a front end framework from scratch is a large undertaking nowadays.

    Some projects simply don't need all the power and customizability of modern frameworks. Perhaps the UX requirements are vague like "be presentable" and "be usable". Essentially, CML can be used when the overall scope of the project doesn't warrant getting a full web team.

    Nocturn

    CML code can be written and built using the online IDE Nocturn. Nocturn compiles CML into plain html, css, and javascript files. This means you can just drag and drop into the public folder of your server. The backend server can be any language/framework as long as it delivers the files; Nocturn is meant for frontend development only.

    Status

    It is definitely still a work in progress. Nocturn and CML is something I use personally (Nocturn is built with itself). However, as I am working by myself, I was hoping to get fresh ideas and feedback from other webdevs.

    Thanks

    Is it realistic for try for a remote position after 1 year?

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 01:31 PM PDT

    My plan is to apply all over the US and pick up anything that lets me develop remote friendly experience, then dive into a remote position after 1 year. I am pretty humble when it comes to pay, I just want that freedom (I used to be a freelance writer).

    How hard is it for someone with 1 year of experience to get a remote salaried position in this industry? I hear by year 3, no problem. But 1 year in?

    Do paid ngrok tunnels time out after a certain time period too?

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 03:02 PM PDT

    I'm hosting a small project from home using a paid ngrok tunnel, django, domain name, and letsencrypt certificate.

    I had an issue where every few days my server and everything else on the network switch the server was connected to would lose internet connection until I restarted the switch. I initially thought this was an issue with the switch, so as a bandaid until I got a new one, I made a script that would scrape my website and send me a text if my website went down.

    Now once my script for checking website status was running, my switch never lost internet connection again and my website never went down. I'm wondering if the script scraping my website is keeping the ngrok tunnel alive.

    I also have an ngrok ssh tunnel running and that tunnel went down while the http and https tunnels stayed up. Ngrok advertises paid tunnels never timing out, but it does not seem to be that way.

    I know I'm using a very unconventional setup (that took lots of hacky solutions to work), but does anyone have any experience with paid ngrok tunnels timing out?

    Gradient Creator

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 01:16 PM PDT

    Hi all,

    For Showoff Saturday, I wanted to highlight my gradient creator. You can set the colors and angle, and work off some preset gradients as well. Once you've picked out your gradient, you can copy the CSS code and use it in your apps!

    Let me know what you think -- any and all feedback is appreciated.

    Showoff Saturday - I made an interactive map as service project; how can I improve this?

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 12:38 PM PDT

    Interactive Map URL: https://thai-morris.github.io/webclass/index.html

    GitHub Project URL: https://github.com/Thai-Morris/webclass

    Purpose: My friend's father wanted an interactive map to show off ten historical landmarks of Stephens City, WV. Each landmark comes with more information when the user clicks on each marker. This is a mobile first interactive web site.

    Technologies Used: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as part of The Google Maps API.

    Feedback Requested: General, usability, code review, etc

    Comments: I gave the dad permission to show off the website to the board on Tuesday. Since they're going to look at it, I wonder if there is a way to improve the website a little bit before they see it. Also, I know its named "webclass" I will change after everything is literally completed. This is a work in progress. Right now it's in beta.

    Is it bad practice to use jQuery inside of web components?

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 06:35 AM PDT

    Hi, I am experimenting with web components and found using vanilla js for basic UI tasks a pain in the ass (like getting OuterHeight of an Element).

    So I found myself using jQuery with the shadow DOM like this: $(".container", this.shadowRoot)

    It works, but I haven't found this in any Tutorials or Talks about web components so I was wondering if this is bad practice or if there is better way to do simple UI tasks.

    cdns that does a 'origin pull'

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 12:04 PM PDT

    lets say I push a brand new spa app to my origin hosted on an ec2 with a cdn infront... lets say Fastly. A first time visitor (ever).. requests my app, does the resource get served from my origin/ec2 directly or does the user always go through the cdn which acts a reverse proxy and requests the resource on my behalf. From my understanding, no configuration is needed besides the cname setup initially. CDN's that does an origin pull work in the background and does everything for you. Is this correct?

    Is There A Better Way to Organize My Web App Feature?

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 03:34 PM PDT

    Hello, r/webdev. This is my first post here, so please let me know if I'm doing it incorrectly.

    I'm working on a personal project and am heading off into unfamiliar territory. I'm making this up as I go along, so I'm wondering if there's an established design pattern for this kind of thing which could prevent me from having to reinvent this wheel. Any help at all or advice would be appreciated.

    ​

    Basically, I have a website<my\_site> where someone<owner> can register their external URL<their\_site>. Once a user<visitor> visits their_site, I want their_site to redirect visitor to my_site to see if visitor has enabled access to their_site. Once it has been confirmed that visitor has access to their_site, visitor will be redirected from my_site back to their_site.

    ​

    What I'm thinking the flow would look something like this:

    1. owner registers their_site on my_site
    2. visitor visits their_site
    3. their_site redirects to my_site
      1. Including owner's id and their_site's id in the query
    4. my_site checks if visitor is logged in to my_site
      1. If not, prompts visitor to log in to my_site
    5. my_site checks if visitor has enabled access to their_site
      1. If not, prompts visitor to enable access to their_site
      2. my_site records visitor's access to their_site
    6. my_site redirects visitor back to their_site along

    From the visitor's perspective, I'm trying to make this as seamless as possible. In my head, the visitor tries to access the external URL, where, if they don't have access, a popup will open prompting them to log in (if necessary) and enable access. Then the popup will close and the visitor will have access to the external URL.

    ​

    One problem that I see is that if the visitor has already enabled access to that particular URL, they'll still be forced through all these redirects verifying this, which could be annoying. Is there a better way? Like maybe when my site redirects the user and verifies access, it also includes a token that can be stored in the session. That way, the external site can first check the session to see if an access token is present.

    Core-i Y series processors for full-stack

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 03:15 PM PDT

    Preface: I am finishing up my studies on front-end (HTML, CSS, SCSS, OOP and functional JavaScript), back-end (Node.js and Express) development, data structures , algorithms, design patterns, TDD, git, Webpack, CRUD, modular JavaScript, and lastly software engineering (analysis, design and documentation) via UML.

    I've been doing my studies on a Core m3-6Y30, 8GB of RAM, 200+GB SSD equipped ASUS UX305 from 2015 that is HDMI'd to a 27" monitor and have had zero issues with any aspects of it. Absolutely love the silent fanless nature of it all. My last laptop at some point began to sound like a jet engine.

    Though my current setup has been satisfactory for my studies, I don't know if things will play out the same when in the field, which I plan on getting in come this January-February.

    My experience tells me that the internet is full of number chasing guys saying "get a core-i7 MacBook Pro or Dell laptop with 32GBs of RAM because everything else is terrible, blah blah blah". You know the spiel. I know not to listen to them, but how much of their materialism is just materialism and how much of it is through experience?

    Do anyone of you full-stack developers and/or designers use a Y series/low powered laptop for work?

    I'm leaning towards getting the 16GB of RAM version of the Lenovo X1 2-in-1 tablet 3rd gen if I end up needing more CPU power. My ideal scenario is getting something similar, but fanless.

    Note: I plan on learning Adobe XD for design next.

    Managing your time.

    Posted: 27 Oct 2018 08:03 AM PDT

    Hey everyone.

    I'm currently working at a job that teaches me 0 and is basically just wasting my time, as the skills here aren't really transferable.

    I'm trying to learn as much as I can for web development front & back, and develop projects to show on my portfolio. I have a B.S. in computer science so picking things up and understanding concepts aren't a major issue.

    But how do you guys manage the time? Especially if you work full time and can only dedicate 3 hours a day. How do you split your time with learning vs building projects?
