    Is position:sticky safe to use if I don't need IE11 support? What quirks have you encountered?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 11:20 AM PST

    Is position:sticky; (along with position:-webkit-sticky;) safe to use if I don't need IE11 support? I'd like to hear your experiences with this. There are so many nuances to getting sticky headers to work reliably, especially when the page includes anchor links, needs to support anchor hash URLs, or includes complex responsive size changes.

    What quirks have you encountered when using CSS alone to implement sticky elements?

    Thanks for your time and help.

    Help a dev get back on track.

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 10:25 AM PST

    First of, I'm new to this sub. Just hoping this is the correct community I'm appealing to. Long story short, I lost my wife a few years ago and now I'm a single dad to two kids. I lost my job when that happen, I hope you can understand why in my situation. I now have an opportunity to once again join the amazing world of development, since I moved closer to the capital, and I really am excited. But the times have changed and now there's so many branches of development. Docker, mobile friendly, Symfony, Laravel and HTML5 and so on. My question is, what skills today will ensure me of a job so I can provide for my family? I'm really good at Javascript and PHP, so would appriciate suggestions that lean towards those professions. Frameworks or languages. In advance, thanks a lot.

    Suggestions for moving VBA Forms Frontend/MySQL Backend to web based system.

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 12:31 PM PST

    I'm looking to redesign a custom-made sales/repair input and tracking software that currently uses a VBA Forms frontend and MySQL backend into a web-based platform. However, I'm not quite sure which way to go at this point and could use some advice from the webdev community. Should redesign the software using .NET, since it's a MS product and potentially easier to port? Or should I embrace javascript and utilize something like jQuery?

    I've started looking into building ASP.NET webforms with VS 2012 but I'm concerned I've already antiquated the design starting with tools and technologies that are 7 years old already.

    I'm fully capable of doing the majority of the research on this but, with so many options available as well as the fact that I'm not very informed on the state of current webdev, I was hoping I could be pointed in the right direction.

    Using the Steam API, could I make a site that allows you to sign in with Steam and then presents a list of all the Steam games you currently own?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 04:03 PM PST

    Is that something Steam API offers? Or maybe there's a better way to do it?

    Optimizing website for SEO

    https://i.redd.it/r06ut7jb5t821.png

    Hi all,

    I'm working on optimizing one of my apps for SEO, and I'm trying to figure out how to get Google to display my website like this. I'm thinking I would have to optimize my sitemap.xml but I can't find any resources online on how to do this properly. Does anyone have any idea on how to optimize your web app to display on Google like that search result? TO have the main heading, and then subsections in the result as well?

    Need some advice for this question about setting up email server for new website

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 01:28 PM PST

    I have a website where I have clients that are organizations with members. These clients import their membership roster into my site. The members from these imports will not actually be members or users of my site - they will just be put into the client's database for reference. Clients then have the ability to email some of their members directly from our site according to different lists they create and maintain on our site.

    I think it would be better if these emails that they send from my site actually come from their own email/server so it looks like it comes directly from a known email as opposed to coming from my website's domain which would probably cause confusion to their members. Also, we would have to deal with replies form those members.

    Now, I hired a new dev to rebuild this site and he seems to think that it would be all around better to use an email service such as mailgun on the site to end these emails; however, that would require that all emails from our site be sent with our domain (we can give each client their own email prefix though, e.g., client_abc@ourdomain). His reasoning was "this is a quite general way to send invitations, messages, etc on web platforms. github, gitlab, bitbucket, slack, ... I would say every platform."

    I'm not an expert or a real developer so I'm confused.

    I don't see why this would be easier or less confusing for the client's members vs just using PHPmailer and referencing the client's own server, email, password from their profile to send these emails. We would bypass any spam issues, we wouldn't need a special mail service, and we wouldn't have to deal with replies.

    Am I missing something?

    edit - clients may be sending 20-100 emails a few times a week, max

    How can I offer custom domains for my users?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 09:29 AM PST

    I'm building a website creation service (like Squarespace) for a very specific niche. I'd like to offer my users the ability to purchase and use custom domain names. Are there any APIs I can use to facilitate availability, registration, DNS, etc?

    I am using Google Cloud Platform/Firebase Hosting if that makes any difference.

    How do I lockdown my nginx server? (found malicious requests in logs)

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 12:54 PM PST

    I'm launching my first web app and part of it is an API, which I deployed over the weekend, successfully.

    Clearly I still need to lockdown some parts of the server as I saw in my logs someone requesting a ton of GET and POST requests to various routes, which don't even exist on my server.

    https://i.imgur.com/FOhvkDq.jpg

    Is there anything I should / could do about this? Or is it just normal since it's on the internet now and open to all traffic, valid or malicious.

    FWIW my server's access itself is locked down with an SSH key, etc, and there's no user data or anything like that, so the data it has is harmless even if it was to be breached. I'm looking for more of the best practices, so that I don't make a stupid mistake when I actually need the security.

    I want to start moving away from jQuery. I'm currently doing a 30 day javascript challenge with ES6 and a lot of the syntax is unfamiliar to me. How much of this is supported by older browsers? Are we at a point now where we can start ignoring older browsers and just start coding everything w/ ES6?

    Help: Web App load time

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 09:27 AM PST

    I have recently built a news web app using angular and material. Everything was great except the load time, so I added server side rendering and a service worker for caching and I also added text compression. But some people are still experiencing high load times.

    Do you guys have any idea of what I can do more to decrease load time?

    How-to Question Regarding Brickseek.com

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 09:22 AM PST

    How does a website like https://brickseek.com/ have access to in-store inventory for retailers like Wal Mart and Target? I doubt these retailers offer an API or a way to scrape this kind of data. Any ideas how they do this?

    Front-end eager to learn about back-end -- wut?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 12:31 PM PST

    I know literally nothing about back end. Actually, I barely know anything about front end now that I think about it lmao. You have to admit, one of the reasons the coding world is so small is because of how overwhelming it is! And I admit I am extremely overwhelmed by how much back end *stuff* there is.

    I'm just trying to grasp some of these principles I *think*, with my limited knowledge, are core to back end, and how back end and front end overlap.

    1. What does the process look like for back end? (register domain --> build server? --> ???)

    1. Do back end devs write their stuff as soon as front ends start writing theirs? Or is generally a website designed and written before figuring out how to deploy it and store data?

    1. What role does using a terminal play in back end, and why does everyone say that the Windows cmd is a shitty one?

    1. I use Atom to write HTML, CSS, vanilla Javascript, and am learning Python. What would I need if I were to use Python to write back end, and what would I even start writing? (e.g. html files start with the doctype declaration tag, Javascript usually starts with a function or object)

    What is a good analogy for web hosting?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 08:07 AM PST

    A coworker of mine from another team registered a domain for a project and I'm failing to explain to her that a domain in itself is not enough to set up a wordpress site. Do you have any good analogies for how web hosting works without getting into details about domains, DNS, requests, hosting etc?

    I did some googleing on the subject, but all the examples seem convoluted. I'm looking an actual ELI5 type of explanation.

    How to make a Progress Bar?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2019 11:39 AM PST

    Hi,

    I'm new to Javascript and I have a project for school. I need to make a progress bar for the subscription in my website. Whenever the user fills up data in a cell, He/She will press the button "next" and the progress bar (segmented by the number of cells to be filled), should be on top of the session visible.

    How do I do this? I find It hard by just using html and css.

    Thanks and kind regards.
