    Projects to build while learning?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 04:26 PM PST

    So I'm learning full stack JavaScript, I know basic CSS, HTML and vanilla JavaScript with jQuery basics. I am just starting to learn Ajax, then react then on to backend, I wanted to build a project with what I know now. So vanilla JS, CSS and HTML, no Ajax or react or other libraries/frameworks since I don't know them yet. I know Function callbacks, loops, functions, objects arrays, conditional statements, I learned OOJS like class, new, constructor, getter, setter, I learned how to iterate through arrays. Stuff like that, + basic CSS, I know probably a little bit more than the basic HTML.

    All projects welcome, I just want to challenge myself and make sure I understand how to use these things properly, like a project making me use array iteration and OOJS, making sure I can use it right, using event listeners and loops etc..

    I have got a few recommendations already from someone here, i plan to do those, thank you again! I just wanted to have a list of projects for me to work on :)

    Thank you very much!

    Am I in the wrong (compensating a developer)?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 04:13 PM PST

    Two months ago I paid a total of $400 (CAD) for a fairly simple script to support advertisements on my website. This was developed in a piecemeal fashion and the initial fee was $200 USD, followed by $60 USD for some enhancements and finally $30 USD for one more feature.

    Today the script stopped functioning. I reached out to the developer to correct whatever the problem was, and in under an hour, he returned the script with the addition of one line of code. Perhaps 10 characters in total.

    Afterwards, he requested a $30 USD payment as this is his normal rate. I refused because, after paying a fairly large sum of $400 CAD, the script stopped functioning after only two months of use. The reason the script stopped functioning is because it uses another site's API and this changed slightly. In other words, it wasn't my fault or the fault of the developer per se. That said, I imagine it could have been future-proofed in the first place.

    Even though this wasn't spelled out explicitly in our original and very informal agreement, is it unreasonable to expect a degree of support afterwards without being billed? This took maybe 30 minutes in total and 1 line of code to resolve the problem. What's the standard practice in these instances? Normally I'd make the payment and just move on, however I was very generous with the initial fees and there is an expectation of basic support, within reason, should something go wrong within such a short span of time.

    Can I get some feedback here? Would you have waived this fee after establishing a pretty good relationship with a client? I'm a bit concerned as the odds of needing further assistance are high, in which case I've probably burned a bridge permanently. Putting that aside, what are your thoughts on the matter? If there's a more appropriate sub for this, let me know.

    Current company is closing down and my skills seems obsolete.

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 07:59 AM PST

    Front End Developer, 6 years experience. Company closes in about 3 weeks.

    Previous company was a major corporation who had a proprietary language. My current company uses Angular 1.6. We somewhat recently began a project at work using Vue.js and I feel very comfortable in it now.

    Unfortunately, 90% of jobs out there for front end roles require React which I have no experience in.

    Do I settle for a "demotion" and study enough react to prove myself as a entry level? Our Vue project will probably never go live at this point, so I may need to build something else to prove my skills. But I feel that I'm out of time.

    Weekly Coding Challenge - The Complete Guide

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 04:23 PM PST

    Few days ago I started a Weekly Coding Challenge program which is intended to help developers improve their skills by creating different projects and small-sized applications.

    I received an amazing feedback from the community, and a lot of people were interested in joining the Challenge, but at the time it wasn't very clear on how people could participate and submit their solution (my bad, I apologize, the project was it it's starting phase!), so I wrote a Guide that explains in much more details the entire process. You can find it here.

    For those of you which are sceptical, I'm doing this because: - I really enjoy helping others and seeing how they become better developers - I want to share with the community the things that I learned in the past 6 years and I hope they'll find value in what I'm doing - this is a good way for me to learn more and also to be consistent by "pledging" to participate in the Challenge, every week, with all of you

    You are welcomed to participate as the program is free and available to everyone, anytime.

    Get a job as a front end web developer using Webflow

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 03:56 PM PST

    Hello r/Webdev

    First time posting here, been working as a freelance web developer for just over 4 years now. I was developing on Wordpress but I've switched to Webflow. I'm looking to move on from freelancing and get a job at a small - medium sized agency as a front end web developer.

    But I'm worried that they will want to hand code everything, I've been working with Webflow for so long it's become very comfortable for me. I can create fast & responsive sites in under 3 days. I know HTML CSS & JS. So I feel as though understanding those languages will be a good stepping stone into a job, but I'm worried that I won't be able to create as good of final products by hand code that I can with Webflow

    Hope this makes sense thanks for reading all the way through!

    How should I write source if I want to call it a template?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 03:53 PM PST

    I build custom websites. I start blank. Write everything out and deploy it.

    But if I were to hand over the website source to somebody non-developer, he'll have to edit the sources which sometimes can get really messy even if it is heavily commented. He'll break everything piece by piece. I can sure make an admin area for him to change certain things including the contents. There can be some config files that stores certain credentials. I can write down where to edit what & provide docs describing how to deploy it. But is that all?

    There should be better approaches and best practices to make themes usable for third party clients as a template. If it's completely custom build and nothing like WordPress is included, what would be some tips & guides to make it portable, usable & editable to non-developers? That we call templates.

    Thoughts on angular

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 11:43 AM PST

    Hi all,

    Background: I've had more experience with Vue and a little react, but no angular.

    There's a senior dev role I got that's dealing primarily in angular and node and want to prep myself for it before I start. I was curious if anyone that has had a lot of experience with angular, could chime in with the pros and cons and potentially any primers on getting up to speed with angular (I don't think it is going to be too difficult for me to pick up, but I just want to focus more on best practices/avoiding common mistakes of the framework that may not be readily apparent).

    How is this site so fast?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 02:29 PM PST

    Someone just pointed me to this sandal website: https://avarcasusa.com/

    And as soon as I clicked, it was immediately apparent to me that this was the fastest ecommerce site I've ever browsed. How are they able to achieve such speed? There's 0 down time between clicking a category > product > cart.

    I've been asked to make a website for a HUGE company. Where do I put my price point?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 02:08 PM PST

    Hello Reddit.

    I've been designing websites for clients for about ten years, with minimal web development skills. I know plenty of people who are proficient in PHP, React, Angular, etc. The issue isn't finding people to work, but rather gauging how much to price this customer.

    In the past I've only dealt with people who had very little budgets. I always bent over backwards to help them. Oh, a site that's at least $5,000? I'll do it for $1,500. That kind of deal.

    Moving to now, I have a client who has a business worth a little over $1,000,000+ with a revenue flow of about $350,000 a year.

    It's an art school that offers classes both in person and online.

    Now this is where it gets crazy.

    The client wants a COMPLETELY custom website. That's a CRM, online course structure, subscription model, etc. Something similar to Lynda, or Udemy.

    Now when I say completely custom, they don't want to use WP, they don't want to use Magneto2, they want a custom CRM, dashboard, user profile pages, forms, and everything else under the sun that you could possible think of.

    Now the real question is, what in the hell do I charge these people?

    Their current site is slow, the funnel is absolutely horrendous, and all together the website lacks the new-age design approach.

    I feel comfortable charging 30k, but I also feel like that's too low. What would you charge (assuming you had a team) for a COMPLETELY custom website that offers courses, subscriptions, secure payment gateways, etc??

    I'm literally going insane because this is an amazing opportunity and I DON'T want to underbid this client.

    Any and all insight is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Edit: According to online calculators, the low-end would be 50k, the high-end is 100k. Thoughts?

    Historical whois records?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 01:55 PM PST

    Sorry if this is the wrong sub, I don't know where to post this. I remember reading in an article about Jacob Wohl when he first tried to discredit Robert Mueller, an investigative reporter with a background in tech started doing some digging into his company. When he ran a whois on his website, it was protected by whatever service the registrar offers to hide that info. However, the reporter then used a different site that I don't remember the name that can lookup historical whois records and see what that data contained before beginning to use that service. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

    How would I make a vanilla JS slideshow?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 09:36 AM PST

    Hey guys, might seem like a newbie question but I have been struggling with making a slideshow in vanilla JS. I don't want to use any pre-made JS scripts since I have it as a school project. I want the slideshow to cycle through 3 images every 10 seconds, with a nice slide animations and with arrows once you hover over the slideshow that allow me to go back / forward on a pic. Have checked out some youtube tutorials but they are either too complicated or just simply don't work. How would I do it? Thanks!

    10 Things I Learned About Web Development – Dario Gieselaar – Medium

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 01:08 PM PST

    I'm not quite sure which SSG and CMS I need as a beginner. Can anyone help?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 09:11 AM PST

    I know that there are plenty of Static Site Generators and CMS's out there but I'm not quite sure what I need. I'm an intern right now for a company that wants me to build their Company Website. And I'm really new to webdev. They want to have a few pages for the products they sell and a few pages with news, dates for webinars etc. .

    I started building the website with Jekyll and so far it works quite well. But the problem is that I won't be the one who will update the website in the future and the person who is going to do it doesn't want to touch code or the command line. This means that I need a CMS where the person just creates posts for a specific category (e.g news) and the site will rebuild with the press of a button and automatically gets pushed via FTP to the hosting server (Strato).. They don't want to use netlify or anything else that can be automatically linked to github etc.. I thought Netlify CMS would be a good option but it seems like they don't support the features of FTP pushing to a hosting server that I need. And I am not allowed to use something that costs money like forestry.io etc. What seems to work is the "Publii" CMS but I'm not quite sure if that's the right choice. It seems like it's more for blogging and you are supposed to use their themes. I know that you can customize and build your own theme with their "starter theme" but it seems really buggy and not up to date since the steps in the docs don't work.

    Does anyone know a good CMS for non-techy users that will write the content that is still easy and fully customizable with Jekyll for example? Or maybe with Hugo? I just don't want to use Wordpress or any other of the old dynamic CMS options out there.

    Best Tool for WebDev (for a marketplace website)

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 12:43 PM PST

    Hello there.

    I have to build a website, but I have no idea on what's the easiest path to follow . I have worked with both Python and HTML/Javascript in the past, but I don't know what's the quickest way to get it done.

    The website is for an education marketplace, so there need to be an account manager in the backend to keep both students (demand) and teachers (supply). Is it easier to go the Python route (django or flask), the wordpress route (i really didnt want to pay a premium for such an easy website), html+javascript (is it outdated?) or is there an even easier route?

    Just to give you my background: I'm not a developer professionally (more of a data analytics guy), but I know my way around applications.

    Thank you!

    WordPress RSVP Form - Let User's Add More Attendees

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 12:25 PM PST

    Hi there,

    I want to set up an RSVP form for my attendees. I want them to be able to "Add another guest" which would give them the option to add one more person's name and email.

    Either that, or I would like them to choose how many guests they're coming, and based off that, give them the same number of fields which they could put in each of their guest's names.

    I know it's a bit of a confusing question - but would appreciate any and help - and if this isnt possible, then Id appreciate suggestions as to how I should go about this.

    How should I be sharing my work with future employers? Should I be putting client projects in my Github account?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2019 12:15 PM PST

    When applying for jobs I see employers asking for code samples, but I don't really have side projects, just work I've done for my various employers' internal projects and their clients. I'm really not sure if I'm allowed to make any of that code publicly available, and simply sending links to live websites I've created doesn't really seem to be cutting it anymore as far as landing job interview goes. What does everyone else do?
