    There has been a growing flood of "how do I learn web dev" type questions overwhelming the sub as of late - so enforcement of Rule 6 will start being more consistent to stem this flood and keep the sub relevant to the greatest number of people.

    If you are new and looking to learn, welcome to the community!

    That said, any question you are about to ask about how to start has likely already been answered multiple times. Please take a moment to read the sub FAQ - or, if your answer is not there, simply do a reddit search for your question. You will find plenty of answers to use as resources.

    We also have a beginners thread each week pinned to the top of the main thread that can be used for beginner questions. Please use it as needed if you cant find your answers in the FAQ or via a search.

    As per Rule 6:

    If you have a beginner question, please try the FAQ first! or the WebDev Resources Post then post in the Beginner Questions thread.

    IT wants me to do all my dev work using RDP, thoughts?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 09:18 AM PST

    I am the sole web developer at my company (~700 employees). I have been butting heads with the IT manager since day 1 due to his extremely strict security measures, the biggest issue being I don't have admin rights to my own computer. If I need to update or install software/dependencies needed for my webdev projects, I need to submit a support ticket, wait for it to get approved, and then wait for an IT member to contact me so they can remote in and put in admin credentials.

    For the most part, I have been able to do my job, managing the company's .NET websites, SharePoint intranet, even developing and publishing a cross-platform app, with the help of 1 back-end contractor.

    A couple of months ago, IT upgraded to Windows 10 company-wide, except for my laptop, due to all my locally installed software. I was told they would hold off upgrading for the time being, which is fine by me. Now they have a plan in place for me. I am to use Remote Desktop to connect to a "Dev Box", a Windows 2016 Server Std pc, (with only 40 GB of available storage - 38 GBs already used and 8 Gigs of RAM - my laptop has 16), where all my required software will be installed. So I am expected to do all my dev work using Remote Desktop, saving all my files to a MS OneDrive account. And I still won't have admin rights.

    Am I mistaken for thinking I should have a local dev computer with locally installed software, the ability to store files locally, admin rights, etc.? Any suggestions for helping argue my case to non-tech supervisors would be appreciated. Or, if you feel I'm being a diva, reasons for arguing against my case are welcome as well.

    Anyone interested in being a code pal?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 06:34 AM PST

    I'm going to give this a shot. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in linking up and learn together? I'm not a complete beginner I know HTML and CSS pretty well I can build a static website from scratch but still trying to wrap my head around JavaScript and it's frameworks. I've done most of Colt Steele's course and currently doing codingphase/freecodecamp. We can use discord to chat and just help each other out when we get stuck and help keep each other motivated. Who knows could turn into a life long friendship.

    GraphQL question: able to retrieve hashed password, where am I going wrong?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 04:43 PM PST

    Hi, I am following academind's tutorial on a GraphQL / React app.

    When I use GraphiQL to test querys and mutations, I can query the hashed password (not the unhashed however, since it is stored in mongoDB as hashed).

    Here is some code relevant to those sections:

    type User { _id: ID! company: String! email: String! password: String createdDeals: [Deal!] } input UserInput { company: String! email: String! password: String! }

    and:

    createUser: async args => { try { const existingUser = await User.findOne({email: args.userInput.email}); const existingCompany = await User.findOne({company: args.userInput.company}); if (existingUser || existingCompany) { throw new Error('The email or company name is already in use.'); } // TODO: fix bug where hashed password is able to be retrieved const hashedPassword = await bcrypt.hash(args.userInput.password, 12); const user = new User({ company: args.userInput.company, email: args.userInput.email, password: hashedPassword }); const result = await user.save(); return { ...result._doc, password: null, _id: result.id }; } catch (err) { throw err; } }

    Anyone have an idea why this is happening? I thought the lines:

     return { ...result._doc, password: null, _id: result.id };

    would resolve this issue but it doesnt?

    node vs php+laravel

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 04:35 PM PST

    Hey guys,

    I'm currently getting more proficient in react.js and I really like it. I would like to learn a backend language so I can develop in full stack. I find it hard to deicde whether I should go for node vs php with a framework. I already know php, but never tried to use it in synch with react.

    In theory I would prefer node because there are many online courses who show the integration of react and node. But then I hear that node is much harder than php and I already know php (even though not very well).

    Also, I'm planning to do freelance work (not wordpress), so should I stick with php after all? Is node js bad for freelancing jobs of creating small websites or websites for smaller companies etc. ?

    Thanks in advance

    Will knowing php make me a better web developer overall?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 04:13 PM PST

    Right now I use node.js on MEAN stack, these days I'm interested in web-application security and bug bounty hunting and a good friend of mine suggested me to learn PHP to understand the web systems better overall and it will also help me in bug bounty hunting since most of the stuff in web is written with php. (around 70 percent I believe?)

    So, what is your take on this? Opinions?

    Does CORS affect mobile and desktop browsers differently?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 03:45 PM PST

    I just made this tiny little React app to play around with react hooks and create a fun source for me to search for dev related news using the Hackernoon API then hosted it with surge.sh and all is well on desktop browsers. I've asked a few friends to look at it, but when I try to view it from my phone (iphone using chrome and safari) I receive a CORS error, specifically;

    Cross-origin redirection to https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?query=react%20hooks denied by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy: Origin http://silent-tendency.surge.sh is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

    Here's my fetch funtion:

    const getResults = async () => { setLoading(true); try { const res = await fetch( `http://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search?query=${query}`, { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*" } ); const { hits } = await res.json(); setResults(hits); setLoading(false); } catch (error) { setError(error); } };

    (I added the headers as a last ditch effort to fix the issue, but it didn't work. I also followed the surge docs on CORS with no positive effect)

    I have the search defaulting to 'react hooks'. I've searched around on surge threads and other hacker news api threads but haven't found any explanation solution to this issue. Any advice?

    I'm being offered a part-time web dev gig - What salary would you ask for?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 02:41 PM PST

    To be clear, I have a current full-time job, but have been looking for sources of extra income on the side. I received an offer to work remotely in a part-time capacity as a web developer for one of the academic departments at a local major university.

    ​

    Here are some details of the job:

    • General administration and maintenance of a Linux web server that currently supports about 10-12 small-to-medium-size websites (plus SQL databases)
    • Administration, maintenance, support, and updates of all websites/web applications running on the server - mostly Wordpress, but also includes some Drupal sites and a few custom applications using PHP/MySQL.
    • Manage domain/DNS needs of the above websites and projects
    • Occasionally serve as a consultant and knowledge base for faculty on web-related matters and possible future projects
    • Design/develop/deploy and continue to support and maintain possible future website/web application projects

    This position will be remote, but might require travel to campus on very rare occasions (3-4 days per year) - I will be living about an hour away and definitely don't mind the drive.

    ​

    Based on the description above, and having seen the websites/applications in question, I feel confident that I can handle the required workload in addition to my current job.

    ​

    The chair has invited me to come up with a number for salary requirements. The position is considered "part-time" and will likely be salaried, rather than hourly - but that's not set in stone yet (pending HR approval I believe).

    ​

    I don't want to scare them with a number, but obviously would like to get paid at an appropriate level. Where would you start the negotiation for a position like this?

    ​

    For context, I am an experienced developer with proven skills across the full stack over about 15 years, and I do have a prior friendly relationship with several people at the department offering this position. So I have some idea of where to start, but I've never had a gig that was "part-time/remote" like this, so I'm looking for some extra perspective. Thanks in advance for any insight!

    Image loading question

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 02:10 PM PST

    Heey everyone i am working on a hobby project where i want to load manga pages. I am trying to make it so that the website will show 1 page and lets say download the next 5 images in the background so when the user clicks "show next" it won't have to load that long for him/her to show the next page(s).

    Everytime i search for it i get information about lazy loading images but it doesn't seem like that is what i need right now.
    If anyone know what it is that i am looking for and can guide me to the right thing it would be appreciated. I am creating this with php and javascript.
