    My First Website - Feedback

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 12:22 PM PST

    Hey everyone. I apologize if this is against the rules of the forum.

    I created my first live website, for a local business in my area. I'm just looking for some feedback in terms of UI and UX. I know it can be improved a hell of a lot more, but I'm looking for feedback in terms of like the layout, ease of navigation, white space etc.

    Thanks in advance and again. I hope this isn't against the rules!

    Tech Choices I Regret at Spectrum

    My workplace wants to improve workflow. Maybe you guys have ideas?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 12:52 PM PST

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm a webdeveloper so I thought I'd give it a shot.

    I'll tell a little about the company I work at first.

    I work at an online marketing company where the main focus is, you guessed it, online marketing. There's a copywriting department, content/marketing department and a tech department (which I am part of). We build almost exclusively for WordPress and are currently managing around 1000 websites.

    Our workflow is old and in my opinion outdated.

    Every tech issue gets sent to one email address that three of my tech colleagues can see and open. These three people delegate those issues to themselves or the rest of us. There is no ticketing system. Oftentimes we miscommunicate because everything is going by e-mail.

    We don't use any version control, everything is done directly via FTP. We make demo websites on a different server and migrate it to a live server when it's done.

    So my question; what could we do to improve this medieval way of working? I'm looking for ideas from people in the field. Thanks a lot.

    Is it better to offer web development services or build web applications that you can monetize?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 07:52 AM PST

    I'm looking into building a web development business, but as we all know, it's a fairly competitive field - anyone could be a web designer when they put the work in. Many established businesses already have good websites. That leaves the target audience of many new developers pointed toward new businesses, who tend to be the worst at sticking to payments for their development, and it's a fairly hard sell. I've been thinking recently, and I wonder if building those products is better than building the services. Why not develop something people will use regularly and monetize it rather than spend so much time and effort chasing down clients that you're going to have to fight anyway? TL;DR: should I focus on building meaningful web applications rather than building websites for budding businesses?

    Which developer tool would you like to use at work, but cannot because it's so unpopular?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 01:58 PM PST

    Is there a framework, library, etc. that you tried and liked, but cannot use because it's unpopular or it doesn't match the current stack you're building with at your work?

    Am I very old school for using DataTables.net and FullCalendar.io?

    Posted: 16 Jan 2019 08:34 PM PST

    I'm using these two jquery plugin components in many of my web projects. But I don't know much about the modern "react" way of front-end development. Does react provide any better alternative to these two useful open source components?

    A mini project to introduce someone to web development

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 12:55 PM PST

    Hey guys. So I have an upcoming event on Saturday to introduce people to web development to encourage people to join our free web development bootcamp starting in June. The session is gonna last for 3 hours and the 1st hour is gonna be an intro to the organization providing the opportunity and how to apply.

    Now, in the next 2 hours I am looking to get people's hand dirty with code. Make something that is like a mini-program/game that would get them interested in the field. Gives them a moment of "aha, I did this!". It's gonna be sort of a code-along with nothing too complex, and more of a crash introduction to what you can do with html, css, and js (without getting into too much details). Does anyone have any recommendations?

    Also, if you have some other sort of insight, feel free to leave it c: Thanks in advance!

    How to store custom attributes efficiently in SPA-project?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 12:44 PM PST

    So, we've got this system that stores and processes records off persons. Each person has a number of standard attributes like Name, Date of birth and Gender. This looks the same for all our customers.

    In order to make the system more versatile, we now need to store attributes alongside each person that can vary depending on the customer. Customer X wants to store shoe size, customer Y wants to store their maiden name. The attributes can be of varying number and type.

    How should we organize/store this efficiently? We use a SQL server with an ORM to query our data. And the custom attributes must be queryable through the ORM.

    Example 1: Table Customer: * Name * Gender ... * Field1Int * Field1String * Field1Date * Field2Int ...

    Example 2: Table Customary to Utes * CustomerID * AttributeID * IntVal * StringVal * DateVal

    I guess alt 1 would be the fastest but feels hacky and is not so easy to extend, but alt 2 is more elegant and extendable, but I expected much slower?

    We got max 1.000.000 persons and maby 2-20 custom attributes.

    SQL Server with EF on .Net.

    Really grateful for your advice!

    I need some help moving my website to production.

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 03:56 PM PST

    I have a node webapp with a vue front-end and uses pg currently for back-end db.

    The app is pretty simple, post content, comment, etc.

    First question, is what do you guys use for db access, what kind of db server do you use in dev, and what do you use in prod.

    Next question, when I'm ready to go to prod, what are some gotchas and steps I need to consider. Right now my plan is to just spin up a VPS install node and drop my app out there. Where am I going to waste time and spin my wheels?

    Should I Get an Associate Degree or Bachelor’s Degree in Web Development?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 03:25 PM PST

    Hi everyone,

    I could really use some advice about pursuing a career in Web Development. I'm schedule to begin a Web Development Cohort and could really use some advice.

    I completed a 45-credit certification in web design and interactive media at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh back in 2014.

    When I graduated, I had great grades but honestly, I felt like I only had a basic knowledge of it. I have no experience working a design related job in the industry.

    I'm going back to school to to become a full stack developer; understand backend coding, what's being used nowadays, and to earn a degree.

    That said, I'm worried about the debt I'll have when I graduate! I wonder if I'd be better off just finishing my associates degree at Art Institute, and studying the rest through inexpensive resources online or through a boot camp.

    When applying for jobs, is an associates degree enough?

    Or should I get a bachelor's degree?

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm putting together a frontend development curriculum and would love your guys' thoughts on what to include.

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 03:14 PM PST

    Like the title says, I'm going to be teaching a bootcamp focused primarily on frontend. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for topics, resources, or fun assignments. I want the course to be focused on modern and practical development skills. What are the things you wish you were taught at the beginning of your career?

    The students will have prior programming/CS knowledge, but I'm assuming they are all completely knew to web development. The main topics I am considering teaching are (in this order): Git -> HTML -> CSS -> JavaScript -> React -> Angular -> Node -> MongoDB -> Deployment (Netlify or Firebase)

    Of course, I also want to through in languages and tools related to the above topics such as Bootstrap for the CSS section, or Redux for React. Let me know your thoughts!

    How do I make a background of 2 rows of 2 4 equally sized images.

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 03:07 PM PST

    Here is the CSS:

    main {

    padding: 0px;

    background: url(./images/eiffel.jpg) left top no-repeat, url(./images/landscape.jpeg) right top no-repeat,

    url(./images/nyc.jpg) left bottom no-repeat, url(./images/sistine.jpg) right bottom no-repeat;

    /* padding: 15px; */

    background-size: 50%, 50%;

    padding: 0;

    }

    The images are showing in the intended order and the width of each image is correct; however, the top 2 are way taller than the bottom 2. I have resized every image file to be the same width and height.

    Thanks in advance,

    JB

    How can a website have no backend?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 03:05 PM PST

    I know this is a really basic question, but how is it possible for a website to have no backend? I've read from several sources that as long as the information is 'static' then you don't need a backend. But don't you need to make a GET request to the URL. At least initially when you first enter the website?

    Best app to learn/practice coding on the go?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 02:46 PM PST

    I'm doing online courses all the time to keep up and catch up with whatever is new and may improve my skills. I would like to have an app on my iPhone where I could continue practicing and learning while on the go, instead of getting on Reddit or whatever. Think of the grasshopper app from Google but better, with more content/languages.

    Does fixing bugs overtime improve your skills as a dev?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 08:48 AM PST

    Hi,

    This is probably a dumb question as the answer will be a resounding 'Yes' but thought I will get r/webdev's opinion anyway.

    I have recently started a new job as a Front End Web Developer and have taken on a myriad of different bugs raised from testing since I have started.

    In my previous jobs, I never worked in this methodology where we build features then the test cases are executed by the testing team, logging bugs and handing them back to us.

    Some bugs are easy, some are difficult and can take a while to solve. Does fixing bugs improve one's skill as a developer?

    What dev stack are you using to add recommendations/personalization features?

    Posted: 17 Jan 2019 01:56 PM PST

    What tools are you using to add data-driven features like recommendations or personalizations to existing websites? Do you build them from scratch or just configure platform plugins or third-party SaaS products?
