    Two days into my first web dev job

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 04:10 PM PST

    Annnd holy shit I can't believe I was afraid of this. I've been super productive for the past two days, everyone is super nice and I actually know things and can hold my own in conversation regarding our projects!

    I already feel comfortable and at home two days in. To think the night before my first day I probably could of thrown up from the nervous anxiety.

    If your self taught like myself, or even in school, don't put off looking for that first job because of doubt in your abilities! I would of done this months ago if I knew better.

    Offline Resources

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 12:22 PM PST

    I fly a lot and have a lot of free time on the airplane but no internet. What are some good offline resources (PDF, apps, etc) that I can download to reference html, CSS, bootstrap and flexbox for offline use. Preferably ones that explain what an element or attribute does for those that aren't self explanatory to intermediate users. I've already searched and found a decent cheat sheet for html and CSS but none that explains what each element or attribute does. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Any experience with headless CMS?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 05:55 AM PST

    I've seen directus and cockpit, and there apparently is strapi. Have you worked with this kind of tech? Would you recommend one over the other, or to keep away from this entirely? Why?

    Questions from someone wanting to make dynamic websites.

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 01:27 PM PST

    Hi! I am sorry if this has been asked before (my guess is that it has just that my notoriously bad googling couldn't find it).

    So, I am just another person trying their luck with web design. I am a full time student studying Urban Planning but am wanting to learn as much web design / development on the side to find out if that is a career I would enjoy more / just learns one thing new and fun / possibly earn some money on the side of studies eventually.

    My question basically amounts to how do I learn the best way.

    Right now I have been working a bit with Divi (and wordpress in general), but have found that to be a bit clunky / imprecise so I decided to learn HTML / CSS which made me realise handcoding is really fun.

    So now I am stuck. Is handcoding actually viable or is it better to learn to work with wordpress and a page builder if you eventually want to do freelancing?

    If I do want to / should learn how to do things from scratch what is a good resource? I have tried out both CodeCademy and Treehouse, are there other sites better than these / free options that are similarly good (I don't mind paying for the services)?

    Would a good path be: HTML - CSS - JavaScript - ReactJS / Bootstrap / Other things to make dynamic websites - followed with backend things?

    How in-depth should I go in each field before moving on to the next?

    At what point would you be able to take on bigger projects and actually succeed. How much time can I expect to put in?

    It ended up being a little long but I'd appreciate any answers.

    My first website is a crap on IE.

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 12:55 AM PST

    So I'm a music maker. It was always my hobby. Some time ago I decided to open my own website, but I wanted to make it by myself. I started to learn HTML5, CSS3, JS. Even React with Redux and NodeJS. After 9 months of intensive learning, finally I felt that I can make my simple website - I'm using only HTML5 CSS3 and VanillaJS and one file index.php( with one line of code : <?php header( 'Location: /index.html' ) ; ?> ). I was so happy when I deployed it and it's looking like I wanted.

    While making it I was testing it on Chrome, Firefox and Edge. But I totally forgot about Internet Explorer. When I lunched it on IE I got so frustreted - A lot of features don't work. Even my JS doesn't work probably because I use const and let instead of var. SVG icons - forget it. CSS variables - no way.

    What would you do if you were me? Shall I rebuild it to adjust to IE? Shall I do some check for browser (but how JS or PHP?) and depend on result serve other set of files? Or just shouldn't care? Or maybe there is other solution? Any ideas?

    Looking for a way to send reminders to clients for appointments

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 04:04 PM PST

    Hello,

    I am not sure if this the right thread to post this on but I am representing a patio construction company and I was wondering how I could send out reminders to clients letting them know that they have an estimate at a specific date and time. An example that I could use is when the doctor's office sends out reminders via email reminding patients of appointments. Another thing is that the person who would be sending them out isn't very tech savvy in the sense that they probably couldn't read source code and understand how to configure a program. I am looking for a way that they only need to supply emails and the program will send out reminders to those emails. I hope that made sense, lol. If there is a more appropriate thread please feel free to let me know! I have added a link to a reference we would like to use from a local doctor's office.

    Want to host back-end + front-end separate without paying double. Any advice?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 10:57 AM PST

    Hi all,

    I am trying to build an app that has a separate server for the back-end and the front-end. I am used to using Heroku for my hobby projects, but this time it will cost double because I would be using two different dynos. It is just the way their pricing is set up.

    Are there any other hosting services out there that have different pricing models and would allow me to do this?

    Also, is there any reason to do this? I really am just experimenting. I guess I thought this has to do with 'containerization'. Any advice is appreciated!

    Edit: I just found this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41247687/how-to-deploy-separated-frontend-and-backend which makes complete sense because the front-end is going to be bundled and built so I can use something that just delivers assets. Then I can pay for only 1 dyno on heroku for the back-end. Second question still stands. Why would I do this anyway?

    What do you log at application level for performance monitoring and security?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 02:25 PM PST

    Hi, interested in hearing others opinions on this. Here's a bare minimum for application level logging:

    • All login attempts (failed, successful)
    • Password changes, etc.
    • Changes in privilege/access
    • Signups
    • Application errors
    • Slow response times

    Contained in logs: ip address, timestamps, "interesting" http headers, username when available, message, log level.

    Also: where do you keep your application logs?

    I want to send two arrays from a Javascript file (or localStorage) to a Python file, without using any frameworks. Can anyone help me out with this?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 02:20 PM PST

    I assume the best method would be to convert the arrays to JSON strings and sent them to the Python file. Everything I've found online involves Flask however. Is this possible without a framework?

    A little background on the project: The Javascript files are gathering user input from forms and compiling them into objects/arrays, and doing stuff with them. Now I want to send emails using the Python file, but I need the Javascript files to send the data over first. Thanks.

    Need Guidance: Web Dev

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 11:31 AM PST

    helo. i am currently trying to teach myself how to code. heavily investing my time on freecodecamp. my goal is to be a full stack web developer someday.

    but well, i don't really have that much time to spend on just learning. if possible, i want to make money the soonest. my location doesn't offer any programming jobs so i plan to just freelance online.

    i'm thinking about these routes:

    NODE.JS

    1. learn front end dev(html,css,js,react)

    2. once mastering front end, look for freelance jobs

    3. start taking the fullstack route and start learning node js and databases and all related stuff

    *i prefer this route because it gives me the option to learn react native(mobile dev) and electron(desktop) more easily. i just really wonder if i can get freelance jobs asap with this because i think wordpress is more preferred in freelance industry

    PHP

    1. learn front end(html,css,js)

    2. learn wordpress

    3. learn basic php

    4. look for jobs

    5. learn more php and start fullstack

    so yeah. i may know some of these stuff already but really im still a beginner and badly need of an advice.

    THANKS.

    Advice for new website needed

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 10:11 AM PST

    Hi all,

    I work with a doctor for free to help indigenous people, next to studying various things like alternative medicine, spirituality, theology, new science like epi genetics, numerology, esoteric astrology etc. I have a website on squarespace, but as I don't get paid for my work, I can't afford the 100 bucks a year to keep the domain etc. now, i know there is wix and wordpress that seem very popular to create new websites, but i was wondering if there is another way to create a website with a cheap or free domain? I am not tech and wanted to know what the best go to is for this. My idea is, that the website hosts blogs, informational pages and a contact page. there will be various information about various topics.

    Thanks for any advice or recommendations

    Company directors and freelancers

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 10:07 AM PST

    I parted ways with a web dev / PR agency 6 months ago (NDA has now expired) and I've been thinking lately about how they're doing without me. I learned that everyone else left shortly after, so there is just the owner and his rented office. They have their own website to advertise their skills and it has a registered company number, and I've checked the public record for that company so i know he is the owner and they are still in business albeit in debt

    He is carrying on doing business using freelance developers and designers, but telling customers / clients that they are in-house employees, and he has them on the website in the section that shows the 'team'. I'd like to know if this is legal and ethical? I know it's fine to use freelancers but is it illegal to keep it under wraps? The clients are paying tens of thousands for a badly made product, the freelancers just want to get the job done and arent reacting if sites go down, etc. This owner has also been hiring random people to sit in the office and look busy when a client physically visits the office, and he has additional desks and computers to make it seem like there are plenty of staff

    So if it is illegal or unethical, is there a course of action I should take or should I ignore it? I'd like to know you guys opinions as fellow devs. This owner is a bit of a psycho and was the reason i moved

    Thanks

    I need help for downloading a website (whole website)

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 09:59 AM PST

    Hey everyone, suddenly i remembered a great project that released for Far Cry 4 and wanted to try it again. After a long search, finally, i found it :D

    This is the page of makers

    https://www.stinkstudios.com/work/farcry-4/

    And this is link of the project

    https://farcry4.stinkstudios.fr/xx-XX/AnEyeForAnEye


    And here is my question/request. How can i download the whole project (second link) with maximum quality?

    I love it when i tried first, and i am too happy to find it again but i am afraid to lose it. Plus, probably because of my bad internet, video quality is bad (worse than youtube videos) so downloading full quality will be best.

    I am so sorry if i am posting in the wrong subreddit, please tell me a better place to share and i can remove this if needed :)

    Thank you for reading :)

    Question: Can/Should We Apply Lazy Loading with Web Sockets?

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 08:54 AM PST

    By lazy loading, I am referring to loading data only when we need it to reduce the initial load time of opening a new page.

    Let's look at a popular website like Twitter for example. It renders older tweets when you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. If we were trying to do this with AJAX, it would be simple. Just repeat AJAX GET requests upon scrolling to the bottom of the page with setting limits and offsets as you would with pagination.

    But if you were instead trying to do something similar with WebSockets, it's not as straight-forward (at least to me).

    Obviously I can apply front-end techniques concerning lazy loading, but this post specifically refers to the back-end and reducing initial network bandwidth. The goal is to instead of transmitting hundreds of JSON's, we only transmit maybe 20 on the initial load and subsequently transmit more if we need to (hence lazy loading).

    If anyone can point me to the right direction or shed some light on this topic, I would very much appreciate it.

    Text editor with RESTful interface

    Posted: 28 Dec 2018 07:08 AM PST

    I'd like to edit a file. Every time I hit 'save', this should save the file and send an RESTful message to a server that this file has been changed.

    Editing files and sending the file changes to a RESTFul API?

    Any tool that supports this?
