| Best way to start getting freelance clients? Posted: 29 Oct 2018 03:12 PM PDT Hey all, so I'm starting to get into freelancing since I have gotten a lot better now, but I'm having trouble landing some clients. I've gotten one through a mutual friend, one that's my cousin, and one off of freelancers. I've tried calling around or sending an email to companies with old sites or ones that don't have a site at all, but unfortunately either they are not interested in a website or ignore my emails. What's the best way to start getting more clients? I have about three sites I have completed so far, with some personal projects going on. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Some questions I have for you, webdevs Posted: 29 Oct 2018 03:11 PM PDT Hey, so this year I will have to choose the field I want to enter next year, I mainly hesitate between being a web developer and being a sysadmin, I know html css and php for the moment. Here are my questions : Is there a lot of demand for webdevs ? Like would I be able to find a place to work at easily in europe ? Do you earn enouth to live correctly ? Do I even need to go to a webdev school or can I find a job without it ? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Backend developer doing a frontend job Posted: 29 Oct 2018 02:52 PM PDT I've got a temporary job as a frontend developer but I'm a backend software developer with minimal experience with frontend development. My task is to design a dashboard of graphs for visualizing time-series data. I'm gonna use D3.js to draw the time-series graphs but I'm wondering what the best framework would be for the dashboard. Angular or React? Which can I learn quicker? I gotta start on the project by the 5th November. [link] [comments]  | ||

| My favourite course instructors for learning web development Posted: 29 Oct 2018 06:21 AM PDT Hey everyone I wrote a new blog post where I share my 3 favourite teachers for learning web development. It's available to view on my website here https://www.yongelee.com/blog/my-favourite-course-instructors-for-web-development/ Anyways heres the article: My favourite course instructors for web developmentI have been coding since 2012 and have been self-educating in modern JavaScript web development since 2015. Over the years I have taken many good courses and tutorials, and many meh courses and tutorials. There are 3 course instructors who in my opinion deliver the best education for learning modern web development. Here is my review of them and why they're so great. There are links to their courses but they're not affiliate links. Yes this is an endorsement of their courses. 3. Stephen Griderhttps://www.udemy.com/user/sgslo/ When Redux was the hot topic to learn and everyone 'had' to learn it, Stephen Grider's courses on Udemy is how I learned Redux. Redux was notorious for being complicated and difficult to learn. I wouldn't have been able to get past the initial phase of 'what the hell is this' without Stephen Grider's courses. The best way for a beginner to learn in my opinion is to build everything from scratch. From npm init, to writing the lines of code, to seeing the code work on your screen, and having to make everything happen yourself. That's how Stephen Grider teaches his courses, everything is from scratch. There is no boilerplate that you install that you don't understand how it works, he works with you to build everything from npm init to the final line of code. WebPack and Redux are notorious for being difficult to understand. I'd struggle every time I'd start a new React project and have to implement a webpack config and Redux boilerplate to get something going. I wouldn't have even gotten to the point of struggling if not for Stephen Grider's courses. He walks you through every line of code to create a working web app built with React, Redux and Webpack. He does a great job at explaining the concepts you're working with and the reasons behind the lines of code you write. He also provides great diagrams that help you visualize complex concepts. You then take those concepts and turn them into code. I took his courses a few years ago back when what he taught was more relevant. I'm not sure what he teaches now but he's a great teacher with a great teaching process so whatever he's teaching you'll learn and become confident in. 2. Wes BosWes Bos is a fellow Canadian web developer who teaches modern Javascript courses with technologies like React, Node, Graphql and CSS grid. Everything he does is cutting edge in the web development world. He has great free and paid courses so if you don't want to spend $100 on a course you can take several of his free courses which are probably 80% as great as his paid courses. For example, his javascript30 course was amazing and improved my skills as a javascript coder by a lot. Before I took that course I didn't know anything about DOM manipulation and now I am quite confident in my DOM manipulation abilities. I also improved my javascript array method skills greatly and using ES6 array functions like map, sort, reduce, filter and the like improved my coding abilities and quality by a ton. His courses are very rigorous, in depth, long and you improve your skills a lot. Be prepared to struggle for a long time with his courses but it's worth it. To be honest, I haven't done 100% of some of his courses (even the ones I paid for) but even doing a part or a lot of his courses improved my skills by a lot. I reference his code all the time and copy the coding style he uses for most of my projects. One thing I am not a big fan of is how he provides heavy boilerplate for his courses. This has its benefits like having the same package.json as him so you don't run into frustrating version problems. I personally like starting everything from scratch. Eventually the boilerplate becomes a non-issue because there is a ton of repetition when you're working through his courses so the important concepts become engrained in you even without starting everything from scratch. He has great real world coding styles that are very reusable and if you copy how he codes, then you'll become better. Wes Bos is a great teacher with high quality courses on technologies you probably care about. I recommend his courses because they're so great even if they're a little pricey. 1. Ben Awadhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-8QAzbLcRglXeN_MY9blyw One of the newest course instructors is the young Ben Awad. I don't remember how I found out about him but his courses are #1 in my opinion for a junior-intermediate level developer. I wanted to learn how to create real web applications using modern technologies like graphql, react, node, orms, and things like that. I also desperately wanted to understand user authentication so I could create user based applications instead of just creating shallow web apps that don't have login systems. I have been looking for those types of courses for years and never found anything of high quality. Even Wes Bos's course for advanced Node didn't cover true user authentication (it was fake user authentication but his newest advanced react course covered real authentication). Ben Awad came out of nowhere and showed me the light. I don't expect too much out of Youtube tutorials so when I watched a video from this young guy teaching authentication and full stack app development I didn't expect much. Most Youtube instructors do the bare minimum for their videos and always plug something like a link to their mediocre digital product. Their videos get views because they use good keywords that people are looking for. Ben doesn't plug anything, all his courses are available for free on his channel and best of all they're actually high quality courses. Not only does he walk you through the code that you watch him type, he explains the concepts and reasons behind why he's writing the code he's writing and explains it well. All the videos are from scratch, from the project initialization, to creating the tests, to debugging and everything. It's amazing. Since you are watching the creation of his projects from scratch, advanced technologies like typescript, graphql, and things like that are not intimidating and seem possible. Rather than you reading through verbose documentation from things like the library's website, you are shown examples of how to use the APIs of things like graphql, stripe for payments, and how to write typescript code because Ben shows you from the beginning and explains everything well. I would have never thought I could create a user authentication based, graphql server, written in typescript, with tests 6 months ago. Today that is my go to stack and it's all thanks to Ben. He is an extremely fast typer so it's a little frustrating trying to follow along with him but if you can make it through like 20 or 30 videos of his, every other course is like a walk in the park in terms of following along. Be prepared to rewind and pause the videos a lot. He also has a discord channel where he actually helps people out. It's so above and beyond any other course instructor that he is my clear #1 for course instructors. You can find the link to his discord channel on his youtube videos, come and join! What drew me to his videos are the technologies he teaches. I am very interested in modern web development tools that everyone raves about like graphql, node, react, typescript etc… Unfortunately, it's hard to find great learning resources about them that are free or affordable. If you want to learn about graphql, react, node, typescript, postgresql, ORMs, react native, testing, deployment, docker, and all the related tools and technologies in modern web development, watch his videos, you will learn a ton. Bonus - The Futurhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-b3c7kxa5vU-bnmaROgvog The Future is a great Youtube channel that teaches new creative industry entrepreneurs (mostly graphic design related) how to run their business. The videos are high quality, well edited and with great advice. I recommend this channel if you want to learn how to be a great freelancer or entrepreneur with your creative skills like design, coding or related fields. [link] [comments]  | ||
| What tools exist that make it easier to read console/terminal errors in local development? Posted: 29 Oct 2018 09:58 AM PDT For example, when developing Gatsby/React sites, I constantly get graphql errors, which I then have to scroll up through the terminal to see. It's messy and time-consuming. Are there any tools that exist to capture errors and display them in a cleaner interface? [link] [comments]  | ||
| How to set up web developer environment for windows Posted: 29 Oct 2018 01:37 PM PDT Hi, beginner here. I'm learning basic web development on code academy and free code camp, but I don't like using these online code editors. I'd rather set it up for real on my pc and learn from my mistakes as I go. I've no idea what to download though, there's so much info it's a little daunting! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Build script for Express Rest API Project on production server Posted: 29 Oct 2018 07:26 AM PDT I've been working on my first Express REST API and I'm ready to put it on my production web server. Previously I've been using Vue-CLI and it generates the scripts I need in my package.json for my dev env and for building the final project to put on my web server. For example in my VUE-CLI project my scripts section of package.json looks like this: Simple enough. But in my Express Rest API project (initialized with npm) I don't have a build script, and I'm not sure how to do it. I just have my "start" script that uses nodemon to locally run the server for development and testing. Like so: I've done lots of searching to try and figure this out, but of course when you search "build express rest project" you get a lot of results on tutorials on how to actually code the project, not building and deploying. Is it a matter of building files? Or does the node command need to be run on the server? Node is already installed on my server. I'm just confused about getting this over to my production server. Many thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 29 Oct 2018 12:56 PM PDT Hi everyone. I'm making an online freelance marketplace where sellers would be able to upload and offer their services and buyers would be able to use and purchase these services. I would obviously be providing the platform for all these users to interact with each other and, therefore, charge a small commission for every service sold. I'm having a hard time finding information regarding this project since it is very specific (btw if you have resources for finding more information about developing a website in this specific niche, do tell me). Anyway, the questions I wanted to ask were:
How do I do this? For instance, let's say 20 sellers join the website and they want to upload the images, videos and audio files for their services. How and where do I save these files? Most people recommend saving the actual files in a file storage of some kind and just saving the path of these files to the database (I'm currently using MySQL). But which file storage? What do you recommend? Some people mentioned Azure but I'm not sure if this is a good option? Are all the good providers of this service charging a certain price monthly?
I remember some recommending Stripe for processing payment. I was thinking of using PayPal. What are your opinions on this? If PayPal is a good option how to actually integrate their gateway? Integrating the PayPal button in a website is easy, but how do I integrate an option for any buyer on the website to purchase any service from any seller on the website? How do I track the IDs of the services and how do I send money from the buyer to the corresponding seller while charging a commission and sending that amount to my account? If PayPal is a bad idea, the same questions apply for Stripe.
I would like to integrate a simple search engine so when there are enough users on the website they will be able to search the website to find what they're looking for. How do I do this? I heard Solr is a good option but I'm not sure where to start. For instance, I was thinking of making all the sellers put 5 tags on every service they're uploading to the website and then use these tags somehow for search results and ranking as well. What do you think?
I need a method of ranking the services so they don't appear in order on the index page. For instance, popular and well rated services from different sellers should appear higher on the index page. I understand this involves an algorithm of some sort but would still like some guidance from you.
This shouldn't be a big problem but I would still like to hear what you think is the best approach for PHP and Ajax. Do you have a good template for something like this? I understand these are huge questions and not easy to answer but any contribution will help! Thank you and take care! [link] [comments]  | ||

| legality of selling code based off product developed at my day job? Posted: 29 Oct 2018 07:56 AM PDT if I'm posting in the wrong subreddit please let me know. I work for a school in the I.T. department. I also freelance on the side. I admin some software that is a bit clumsy and is way overpriced. There are a few add-ons that we pay $22k a year for... (don't ask). Six months ago we got a new programmer (Joe) who is a wiz. He has basically come up with a new way to do what these expensive add-ons were doing. Took him about 2 weeks to program it. This is NOT part of his normal job description. He had some extra time and wanted to see if he could do it. So, our employer authorized him to do the work - but, it is NOT like a game software studio paying a programmer to code games. So - I know at least 20-30 other schools who are also using this same software. There are probably a few in there that are using this same $22k per year add-on. I have spoken with Joe and he is very interested in marketing this code he has written. If there is any issue with intellectual property he could basically re-write the code in a different fashion so it is not a copy of the code he did at work. We have two motivations (1) we could easily sell this code to the other schools for $10k one time fee and they would save so much money. Our school is expecting to save $43k a year because this code replaces three different processes. (2) We don't like the fact this software sells this solution for $22k which is way over priced and feels like robbery. We are going through the research phase now trying to figure out how what we are doing could in any way be illegal, unethical, etc. I'm curious if other web developers have had this same issue - something you developed while working for a company and then reused later for a client?

| how do you start out freelanding? Posted: 29 Oct 2018 07:53 AM PDT I'm really interested in hearing about the "Just Starting Out" portion of freelancing. I've been a developer for over a decade now and am looking for ways to add some additional income. My ideal clients would be small and possibly local businesses. I'd love to work by word of mouth, lol but I'm not sure the best route to take to start getting those clients. I'm not looking to quit my full time job, I'm just looking to fill the weekends. I don't want to just cold call everyone out there. If a company doesn't have a site in this day and age, I'm guessing they don't care if they have a site or not, lol. So that makes me not want to just start cold calling everyone who exists and see who might be interested. I'm really curious in hearing anyone elses story who would want to share, how did you get started doing freelance work? If it's relevant to the story, how long ago did you get started with it? I know it's a constantly evolving world technologically speaking, so I'm really interested in hearing what worked best for others out there, and I'm getting a lot of other people would like to hear those stories too.

| Posted: 29 Oct 2018 10:46 AM PDT Good day everyone, I just want to ask for guidance. A senior web developer from Japan messaged me out of the blue on Linkedin stating that he currently works as a freelancer on Upwork. He also stated that recently Upwork incentivizes clients to work with freelancers from US and Canada. He wants to partner up with me and share an upwork account to get jobs. He will do all the work and I'll handle the communication. My share is 20% on all projects. Is this legitimate or legal? It sounds too good to be true. [link] [comments]  |
