    Freelancers: What are the most productive online client channels

    Posted: 30 Apr 2019 11:47 PM PDT

    I'm from the US but live in a developing country so local networking isn't a good option. Any other freelancers build a client base through online? If so, what channels would you advise someone new/self taught to pursue? On my list are a few options:

    • Cold emailing web dev agencies
    • Doing the same on Linkedin
    • Upwork (start low and build up)
    • Building useful things and linking to my freelancer page
    • Freelance subreddits
    • Finding a community and building a presence there (I'm thinking e-commerce forums)

    I'm currently learning Wordpress dev. I've built a few small projects in React.js and Express.js as well.

    Freelancing with Upwork

    Posted: 01 May 2019 01:52 PM PDT

    So I tried freelancing in the last quarter of last year. And it didn't work out. I didn't get approved. Since then I've been employed in professional software development (mainly web) since January. I've validated my belief that I'm not a fraud (hurray). So over the weekend I've gone back to my upwork profile and updated it with urls of some projects I've hosted. I feel I'm well placed to be approved. So any tips from this community for me. Handling clients, expectations, bidding? I'm currently enrolled in graduate school if that helps. Thanks.

    Is anyone interested in participating in another round of portfolio reviews/mock interviews live on stream this weekend?

    Posted: 01 May 2019 09:26 AM PDT

    This will be taking place this Saturday. I did a round of portfolio reviews last week, which you can find here. I'll be streaming another round of them this Saturday and open to participants. Also open to mock interviews as well, for anyone interested in front-end/JavaScript.

    It's very casual and even if your portfolio isn't fully finished that's okay! If you want to learn more, please PM me with any questions. There is a video on my channel if you want to get a sense of what it'll be like.

    Videos that can not be downloaded and accessed from external sources

    Posted: 01 May 2019 01:04 PM PDT

    Today I joined a site with some video lessons, but when I tried to download using chrome extensions, I could not. As it seems, the video stays on some different server (maybe it's a company that works with it). And when I tried to access the video url, I get denied permission.

    How do they do that? It's like a CORS (I'm not sure how it works) where it only allows access to the videos of a specific server / domain?

    I'm a backend dev and I want to start doing freelance jobs, what do I need to learn aside languages and code?

    Posted: 01 May 2019 01:06 AM PDT

    Most of my professional experience was from being a Jr-Ssr backend developer in companies where I was rather a passive employee that solves problems determined by my superiors.

    But I really want to become more independent, because I want to be able to create an income regardless of how job interviews work out and also a personal one (*)

    What did you need to learn aside coding?

    Can I work as a freelance doing only Backend?

    Or do I need to become a Full Stack dev?

    In case you do FrontEnd, how did you learn Web Design?

    Because, yeah, I "know" CSS in terms of syntax and precedence. But creating a website from scratch is another whole issue. Right now I'm learning Vue+Bootstrap, because it's fast, robust and the shortest (yet serious) route to tackle the Front End and connecting it with my current knowledge.

    How do you estimate your deadlines and how much do you charge?

    In case you're delivering your services for another country, do you have to create a separate account or do clients just deposit on your personal one?

    Did you have to become a company on your own, at least legally? Or is it like "yeah just deposit me the money and this magic website creates an invoice magically so we're paying an US company to do all the paperwork for us"?

    Do you follow some sort of structure, protocol or a list of steps before and after coding?

    For example, this blogpost describes a process used when building a website. Is it a must? Or is it only relevant for big enough teams and projects?

    The personal reason: Being exclusively an employee, specially a Jr, somehow made me feel like I'm begging for a job and for money, instead of being a real professional who offers a solid service and gets his living from it. Most jobs were poorly paid, repetitive, mindless and with zero chance of getting involved on decision making. Being able to build a website from the ground up to a responsive page that works both on the phone and the desktop, is a tangible achievement that people may buy or not. but it goes beyond whatever slot you can occupy to do something in the job market.

    How do you feel about using bootstrap templates for clients?

    Posted: 01 May 2019 03:23 PM PDT

    I have a client who needs a landing page for a business. The most complex element would be an email form to act as a contact us, as well as establishing a mailing list(which I am already familiar with). Is there anything wrong with utilizing a bootstrap template and customizing to fit the clients need? Or is this practice generally frowned upon?

    Help understanding differences between frameworks?

    Posted: 01 May 2019 01:00 PM PDT

    I'm looking into starting a project by myself and was wanting to use some javascript framework to build it. I was thinking that I would do a Single Page Application so that it felt faster to the end user.

    The site basically just has users with accounts and they can make teams for specific games and they can invite others, then it shows a schedule of when the game is. Thats just a basic overview so its not a very static site, but doesn't have many real time changes.

    The problem I currently have though is there are so many frameworks I'm a bit overwhelmed in choosing which one. I was thinking of using the React library with some something like Gatsby or Next.js. I've been reading into the different libraries and framework and it seems that if I read about one it introduces 2 brand new ones that I go to read and those each introduce more. Because of that, I have no idea where to even begin in researching what is the best so I thought I'd come here for some advice.

    first free lance job is on the horizon

    Posted: 01 May 2019 11:22 AM PDT

    hi guys im just wondering what you guys recommend me doing, im coming up to do my first freelance job, is some front end stuff so its not exactly out of my league. I'm wondering what you guys would say a good toolkit to have on my person computer would be, im talking stuff like vagrant, laravel homestead, version control ect. i know freelancing comes with heavy penalties if you fuck up so i want to be sure i have a good tool kit available to me so im pretty much prepared for anything!

    im also wondering what i should charge for my work, or how i should go about deciding on a price. me used to being a consumer would think £600 (for example) to be a lot of money but for a company outsourcing it may not be and so there is potential for me to ask for more, i am an apprentice currently but i have been programming ect for coming up to 4 years now so im not a noob by any means but i'm still not a good as someone whos been in the game for 5 years for a company if you get what im saying.

    any other advice would be greatly appreciated!!

    A simple (and tiny ~1kb) redux inspired reducer for handling state, actions, reactions etc. Works well with React.js & React Native but can be combined with any front end library.

    Looking to sharpen knowledge... Looking for options.

    Posted: 01 May 2019 03:52 PM PDT

    I apologize in advance if this seem messy and convoluted.

    So I recently went in for a job interview and was told that I may benefit from a web development bootcamp, so I took their advice and signed up for one... but the majority of content is very beginner friendly and I've been a front end developer for going on 4 years.

    Here's my struggle:

    I need to be able to explain the difficult parts of javascript and provide examples showing that.

    Difficult topics include:

    OOP, closures, promises, and basically all non-beginner talk.

    I feel having some sort of mentor could help with getting these concepts through to me and that's what's pushed me into ultimately going to Bootcamp, but the cost is outweighing the benefit to me if I'm not learning things that I don't have a handle on.

    Anyone have any suggestions or any experience that helped push them to the next level in their careers?

    What to ask at a project handoff?

    Posted: 01 May 2019 03:10 PM PDT

    I am a developer at a company and we used an external agency to handle the remake of one of our website. I have a call with that agency to go over the handoff of the project. The site was built in Shopify and I've messed around with the code a little but I don't really know what things I need to worry about when they give me the site. Are there general questions/concerns I should think about or is it more of a case by case, everyone is different, type of thing?

    Where should I learn full stack development from watching videos?

    Posted: 30 Apr 2019 11:09 PM PDT

    I'm a senior studying computer engineering. I want to go into full stack development (mainly back end) but am having trouble finding the best place to learn. I know some places teach outdated methods or dont show you the latest methods/technologies. I learn from watching videos btw. Should I learn from youtube? Udemy?

    If on Udemy, which course/teacher do you guys recommend? There are so many good videos and idk which to pick. For example when I have choices like this and this, I need an expert opinion to decide which is better for today's market. Some of them teach JQuery, which I am hearing is outdated, so I'm interested to know who is teaching the latest stuff to get the most bang for my buck and time. Some other teaches more frontend then backend. Since i don't know too much about full stack development idk most of the stuff they are listing.

    If on youtube, can you guys suggest me some videos. When I type in Javascript, for example, there are many videos and I want to know which videos you guys used that get the most information. Some people skip important information to keep the videos short and easy while others take their time explaining concepts well, you know?

    Choose between PHP and Python. The right way

    Posted: 01 May 2019 02:59 PM PDT

    Hello.

    In the summer I'd like to start working as a programmer.

    I'm interested in a lot of things. Android, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc., but I'd like to start with web programming, because it's easier to start here.

    I'm blind. It's easier for me with Backend.

    But I have a problem with choosing between PHP and Python.

    I like the flexibility in PHP. I can develop web applications without frameworks and libraries. I can develop new engines.

    In Python, for flexibility, I'll need to use Flask, instead of Django.

    Although, I'm almost 100% sure that if I develop a big application, like a social network, I'll use frameworks.

    In addition, I'll almost 100% learn Python, because I'm interested in artificial intelligence and robotics.

    Maybe I should learn PHP and Python at the same time?

    Google uses Python. Dropbox uses Python. Instagram and Quora were developed in Python, but I don't know using Django or other tools. The fact that big IT companies use Python attracts me.

    Help me please with choosing the right path.

    Thanks in advance!

    How do y'all empower your customers to make changes?

    Posted: 01 May 2019 01:29 PM PDT

    I'm currently in the process of launching a freelance business. I'm curious what solutions you all have come up with to empower your customers to be able to make changes to their websites without placing the burden directly on me.
    For instance, I am creating a website for my uncles gym. One of the sections that he wants to offer is a classes schedule. Put simply, it's a carousel that displays the classes happening today over the next few days. I'm sure y'all can imagine that his classes will not always stay the same and may even be canceled for whatever reason. How can I enable him to insert new classes and edit the information on existing ones.

    How come chrome dev tools for responsive phone sizes and actual phone sizes, have different pixel dimensions?

    Posted: 01 May 2019 01:20 PM PDT

    So I open a webpage, open the chrome dev tools to device toolbar, click "iPhone X" and scroll around. My sister has an iPhone X, and I'm scrolling around and think "okay, this is what an iPhone X feels like, nothing wrong with what I see." But when I look at the dimensions on the top, and it says 812x375 which is in pixels. Everywhere online, it says that an iPhone x has a resolution of 2436x1125 pixel resolution at 458 pixels per inch. I really trust these numbers I see online because they really make more sense, so what's up with this 812x375 I see in chrome? I know pixel size can vary, so is this like a standardize pixel size for consistency? Or is this a pixel size that lines up with what a pixel size should be according to CSS? Thanks a ton in advance.

    Is there a Chrome extension or any other way to apply custom CSS that works inside a website's IFRAME too?

    Posted: 01 May 2019 06:54 AM PDT

    Title is self explanatory. The problem with good 'ol User CSS extensions is that they are unable to target elements inside an IFRAME, even though the IFRAME itself is displaying a web page of the same domain as the site itself.

    Quick tip for Google My Business Listing

    Quick tip for Google My Business Listing

    This might not be a life changing thing for your business but it sure will only be a bonus.

    Use your GMB listing. Update it, upload new photos, etc. Most likely your competitors don't and if that puts you slightly in a better position, why not do it right!

    I get extra eyes looking at my company's photos and if 1% of them comes to the site and calls, that's a win.

    New to SQL and just a small question.

    Posted: 01 May 2019 05:31 AM PDT

    So I am learning front end development at the moment but decided to learn backend simultaneously. I started learning the commands for sql on my way home trough the internet and wanted to put them to use but then realised, MySql and other sql related things have many versions to choose from (XAMPP, WAMP, just MySQL). I feel kinda overwhelmed by the many options and don't know what to choose. Can someone help me out on this ? Or explain the different versions for a beginner in this field ?
