    Feeling like an idiot while learning

    Posted: 30 Nov 2018 09:49 PM PST

    How do you guys push yourselves and continue learning web dev? I come from a business background and thought about getting into web dev just because finance is getting boring and web dev just looks really interesting. I've used the links you guys gave me, but I still feel like a dumbass even while learning html

    Privacy regulations for personal projects

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 05:53 AM PST

    I am currently trying to wrap my head around all of the legal matters related to having a website such as privacy policies, cookies, and GDPR.

    Its a little overwhelming honestly.

    I am currently building a personal project, mostly for the learning experience, but also because I see the end product as something that would be useful to a local sports group I am involved with. Once I was done playing around with this website, I was going to give it to them for free.

    So do I need to be concerned with all of these regulations if this product is not used for a business, just a small group of friends? The site would require users to sign up with an email address and name, and there would be 3rd party payment services like paypal/stripe.

    Client providing all media in portrait mode

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 10:34 AM PST

    I'm a total noob and working with first "client." He does catering and his girlfriend helps out so I said that I could do his site for him to help me out too. I've had several conversations with him but he still just keeps giving me photos taken from his phone in portrait mode, so they're not super usable for the site.

    How do you all handle this? Just use stock photos? Heavily edit to make work with the layout?

    Making the site responsive, but not necessarily mobile first.

    Would appreciate any and all ideas.

    Has anyone here heard of Revature?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 04:13 PM PST

    So I pretty much applied to this place and they are pretty much offering a ten week training session and are going to pay me $600 a week. The catch is that it's a two year contract and they will start me around 40k and will pretty much take half my check once they hook me up with companies they work with. If I do back out of the contract halfway through, I'll owe them 20k. Should I go for the opportunity even though I'm learning coding right now and can get my foot in the industry via this recruiting company or should I keep on looking?

    Knockout --> React worth the effort?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 04:07 PM PST

    Previously worked on TF and built it out with KO js, which is an incredibly simple library (to me). I'm finally looking into React, but I'm not sure what the added value will be for other devs or users. Any thoughts?

    Why, and when to use Docker ?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 03:40 PM PST

    I'm pretty junior leveled when it comes to programming. I'm trying to understand Docker, and why i should use it. I pretty much develop apps in React, Angular, but sometimes PHP.

    These apps require databases like mysql, mongodb, or sometimes firebase.

    Sometimes i push projects to github to impress potential employers. I had an interview this past wednesday, and the interviewer recommended me to install docker. I installed it;However, i don't know why i need to use it, and when to use it.

    Can someone point me in the right direction ? thanks.

    I have been working on these web ui components in the past few months. Now they seem to start working. I was not a front end developer. The reason I was determined to write these components is that I couldn't find anything similar with consistent behavior on desktop, tablets and phones. Now I decided to open source it. I'm hoping to get some feedback. I'm trying my best to make consistent behavior across devices and OS's, but my devices are limited, so please let me know if anything is broken on your devices. Thank you!

    Front-end development from scratch - is 1 year of self-learning sufficient?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 03:20 PM PST

    So...I think I'm long overdue for a career change. And I have a million questions.

    Background: I'm 24F, a biology major and had intentions of attending of medical school. But bailed out upon the realization that it doesn't align with my priorities in life nor my strengths. I was blindly tracing this career somewhat out of my ego. Since then, I've been going kind of crazy because a biology leaves you with abysmal job prospects. (To be fair, I was plain good at memorizing things over anything, but didn't pick skills from school that would translate into a career in really... anything.)

    Lately, I've been considering (peripherally) front end development.

    So, I have no zero background of web development/programming. I have been playing around with HTML/CSS (courses from Udemy). So far, I quite like it. It's honestly been such a breath of fresh air, and I am (slightly) entertaining the idea of pursuing front-end development a career.

    Anyways, my question is how realistic is it for me to gain skills that can secure employment at least in a year? (I know I shouldn't put a time frame but let's just say, my goal is move out of my parents' home by the end of next 2019 for the sake of my mental health).

    How many hours of a week should pour into learning in addition to holding down a 40-hour/week job)?

    What resources should I use? (I'm also open to the idea of taking classes or whatever).

    Thanks!

    I want to create a web app that login with my bank account and retrieve money-in/out from my bank user interface, where to start ?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 11:32 AM PST

    Hi fellow web devs!

    1st of all sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I am a game developer who lives in a country where banks are still so backward that they don't offer any service that automatically track your money, for example it is impossible to use a services like xero to make your financial life easier.

    currently the only thing i have is an ugly user interface, but it has enough information to create a dirty organizing app, basically what i want to automate is:

    • Login to my account

    • go to that page (link is always the same)

    • retrieve the displayed data.

    • properly store them as objects in a real database.

    • do whatever i want (the webdev part is over now)

    I tried looking at the code and its mostly basic HTML table, each row (except the 1st and 2 last rows) has 5 columns, which if i can retrieve then the problem will be solved.

    My main question is how to automate the login process ? i honestly don't care if its a dirty solution like opening the link and hard coded to find the login elements and just past the username and password, wait for the page to load, and then copy all of its source and "manually" search to find these particular tables.

    I just don't know how, so any advice would be welcome here.

    Thanks!

    Stream Highlights - Automated platform that captures the best clips from Twitch, live.

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 09:16 AM PST

    Hello Reddit!

    Today I am releasing Stream Highlights, an automated platform capturing the best clips from Twitch in realtime. This application uses a mix of data processing coupled with data analytics to detect, clip and store all the best moments happening live. We monitor the top forty streams on Twitch, 24/7.

    On Stream Highlights, you can find :

    • Dedicated dashboards for you to search for your favorite streamers or games
    • Streamers Hubs : each streamer has its own page where we display the best clips for their latest sessions.
    • Full Length Archives : for every streamer, we provide full length archives aside with their best clips for you to jump directly into the action. You can replay the whole action, clip your own clip or watch with your friends.

    If you are interested in the making of Stream Highlights, you can have a read at this article on Medium :

    Building an automated platform that captures the best clips from Twitch, live.

    Displaying a picture based on user input

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 11:23 AM PST

    Hi all,

    I'm new to web dev and I'm trying to create a simple home page much like the "Momentum" app on Chrome. What I'm hoping to do is ask the user for a location, and display the time, date, and weather for that location, and have the background picture be something related to that geographical location. If it were Arizona, it'd display a picture of the desert or something.. if it were California, maybe the beach, etc. I can't really find anything that works that way though. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me or give me any advice.

    Thank you so much

    Website hosting question

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 03:05 PM PST

    Hello Everyone!

    I am a new developer (Sophomore in college so still tons to learn) and have really enjoyed web programming. I really like how hands on it is and how you can see the changes you make and create. I am currently trying to build a portfolio website to use on my resume and show off some basic skill in hopes on an internship and stuff. While I semi know how to create it, the issue now is hosting or being able to send a link and show it off. I am having a tough time figuring out where to look into this. I'm not sure if I can do it myself (back end programming) or if I have to go online and purchase a domain. I'm a college student so it would be preferable if I didn't have to spend money. If anyone could help point me in the right direction or give some advice, that would be great! Thanks to anyone and everyone for all help.

    Making a living while open sourcing a testing concept / software

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 02:10 PM PST

    So, I've been looking for a new job since my last contract ended and it's getting pretty frustrating. (womp womp lol) Anyway, already sent some apps today and taking a break to think about other options. Getting a steady job really is my main goal right now, but mental breaks are a good thing, so here I am.

    I have this concept that helps drastically speed up creating testable code. As in, it enables developers to write simple input / output tests as they create functions / methods and upon running the code immediately flags fails. (that's as specific as I want to get at the moment) The concept is not language specific, but the prototype was built with PHP in mind. No more creating extra files for testing or writing more test code than actual functional code. IMO it's the most elegant and time minimal testing solution I've seen. So, pretty valuable. I personally found it invaluable to myself as it drastically reduced development time and basically made my functions bulletproof from the start... which is huge.

    The downside... it's been sitting on my laptop for 2 years doing nothing. Not helping me or anyone else. Once I clean up the spec and post it publicly, I'm certain it would take off and get ported to other languages and grow a following / community really quickly. Never been more sure of anything in my development life. lol

    My question is... how do I release it to the world while also making a living from it?

    Has anyone had success in the open source space by either offering add-on consulting / licensing or getting funded by a company to develop the idea? I mean, I know this happens, but I guess I'm hoping someone has some laser specific advice / insight. I do believe it could be somehow patentable as, like I said, I've not seen this exact kind of solution before, but on the other hand... meh, IDK. lol

    If I could look back in the future and say "95% of the software development world uses a testing concept I developed" I would consider that a pretty big win for life. At the same time... I gotta eat, ya know? haha (Yes, I do think it could become that popular because the time savings is that substantial. Who likes writing so much test code? Nobody.)

    Is there a way to strike a balance to get this off my laptop and out to the world, protect my IP if needed, and also make a living so I can focus on maintaining it over the long term?

    Good Project For Resume?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 01:33 PM PST

    Hello All,

    I have been independently learning development for a few years now but nothing concrete to show for it. I'd like to set up a website now that can show the skills that I have as a sort of resume project but I'm not sure what the best way to do that would be. Since I don't have a bachelor's and all of my learning has been on my own. I come from a QA background and head up QA at the company I work for so I have experience working in a professional environment in that capacity.

    I am familiar with .Net and Angular and almost all of my focus has been on front end. Any thoughts from people here who have hired people in my situation?

    Managing a Lightsail instance?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 09:43 AM PST

    I handle marketing for a few local businesses and have been designing web sites for about two years. I've recently decided that I want to make the jump from reselling shared hosting to managing a VPS (specifically AWS Lightsail) for the following reasons:

    • More control over server settings
    • Faster site performance
    • Costs are relatively low now

    I'd consider myself technically literate, but I'm absolutely a novice when it comes to web development. I know enough to diagnose an issue I've encountered and then follow an outlined solution, but my overall understanding of server management is lacking. At this point, I'm just playing around with a test server until I feel confident enough to roll out managed VPS for my clients... however long that takes.

    I've already deployed an instance and installed Wordpress on it. What I need to know is: outside of case-specific maintenance, what are the general maintenance requirements of a server? If even the general maintenance requirements vary, then maybe a better question would be: How do I understand what they are? I apologize if these answers are easy to find, and maybe I just haven't found the right resource, but I've tried and I'm hoping that someone here can provide some guidance. Thank you for your time.

    How large should my landing page background image be?

    I have a 6000x4000 JPEG image that I want to use as a background image. I know people nowadays have retina-ultra-mega mac's, so should I keep it at 6000x4000 (610KB when optimized) or go for smaller?

    SVG hover fill not working

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 04:19 AM PST

    Hello,

    I've been trying to make the SVG fill color change on hover for a while now, but without any success. This is my current code:

    CSS (SCSS):

     .circle svg { width: 120px; height: 120px; position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; fill: #9e1212; fill-rule: evenodd; } .circle:hover svg { fill-rule: evenodd; fill: #d9dbd1; } 

    HTML (ReactJS):

     <div className="circle"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="1743" height="1743" viewBox="0 0 1743 1743"> <path d="path.." /> </svg> </div> 

    Unfortunately I have no idea why this isn't working, so I hope one of you can help me.

    Kindly,
    Blade.

    How do you learn self learn these backend technologies?

    Posted: 01 Dec 2018 12:56 PM PST

    I come from the front end so I'm mostly familiar with the backend web technologies like Rails, Django, Node/Express and all the popular databases but I've been looking at some backend job postings and I see stuff like..

    • Docker
    • AWS
    • EC5
    • Kubernetes
    • Elasticserach
    • Cassandra
    • Memcache
    • RabbitMQ
    • Kafka
    • Kinesis
    • Digital Ocean
    • Heroku
    • Jenkins
    • Redis
    • Spark
    • Hadoop
    • Multi-threading programming
    • Linux mastermind

    I read a lot of people saying that a lot of backend jobs mostly include just returning JSON data for the front end and performing CRUD actions. There's obviously a lot more but how do I get around to learning all these technologies that companies require you to know. Thanks
