    Rule Update: No Political Posts

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 07:49 AM PDT

    The mods have talked, and we have agreed that some clarification needs to be put forth regarding political discussions within /r/webdev.

    There are numerous subreddits which are dedicated to politics, political discussion, and political debate. /r/webdev is not, nor will ever be one of them. When politics enters the fray, it's easy for us to forget the person on the other screen, and easy for us to, for lack of better words, act like absolute assholes.

    /r/webdev exists for us to talk about the joy that is web development, to hype up the next Library.js (which will be obsolete tomorrow), and to collectively hate PHP (for no good reason, of course).

    All that said, here is a summation of the rule which has been added:

    All posts to /r/webdev MUST be directly related to web development. Posts which are directly political, or are designed to incite political discord, will be removed.

    We understand that there may be some gray in here. For example, an article talking primarily about Mozilla may also mention Trump or May or Johnson or Trudeau, etc. etc. This article would not be in violation of the rule because it primarily talks about Mozilla (a web development entity). However an article like "<Political Figure> says that THIS library is the best eva" or "<Political Figure> says that internet is bad" would be in violation of the rule, because their primary purpose is political.

    This community exists to help each other towards a common goal of being the best developers we can be. Let's focus our efforts on that goal, and, as always, don't forget to be awesome.

    If you have any questions, please either comment here, or PM me. I'll respond as I can throughout the workday

    Struggling as a junior dev

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 09:30 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    I hope this is the right place to post this. Long story short. I accepted a position as a Junior developer after completing an online full-stack bootcamp. Before that, I had completed a front-end boot camp and studied freecodecamp. I came away feeling confident (at least knowledgeable) about the MERN stack.

    They put me in a already developed project and asked me to add new features and work on bugs. The project has been built using technologies like ASP .NET , C#, TypeScript, Kendo UI, etc. Having learned the MERN stack, I feel pretty lost and the full-stack boot camp did not really set me up for success, I feel. One of the developers I work with calls my skills, "California" developing...

    After 2 months I have finally managed to complete some tasks but I am mostly pair programming with senior developers. I feel like I everything I encounter, I take much longer than expected and feel judged when asking questions. I also feel like they get annoyed when working together and they have to repeat something or I struggle to follow along. I am in fear that I will not make it to a developer role and that worries me, having spent 3 years trying to learn how to code.

    Is this what a Junior role is supposed to look/feel like? I know Juniors are supposed to learn but I feel like I am expected to develop like the other devs without guidance or assistance.

    Any advice is welcome and appreciated!

    Getting into Open Source Development

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 11:55 AM PDT

    How to make a section fill up the entire screen, example below.

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 06:38 AM PDT

    Hi!

    This is something I have been wanting to implement but I think I must be stupid and can't figure it out.

    Example: https://michaelpumo.com/ (thanks /u/DOG-ZILLA for the website inspiration)

    See how each section takes up 100% of the screen when on it? How can I learn to do that?

    ​

    Thank you.

    What did you practice building before you were confident in building fully functional websites for paying clients?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 04:13 PM PDT

    Did you practice building simple websites that got more and more complex over time or did you practice building parts of a page (ie header)?

    Completely new to web design looking for advice.

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 04:25 AM PDT

    Hello I've just managed to secure seed funding for an architecture/engineering startup. So I am looking to develop a clean and professional website.

    I have no worries about the actual layout and graophic design of the website as I have a background in design.

    However I do have some technical questions.

    What would be the best web hosting solution, I wish to maintain as much control and flexibility moving forward as possible, so I am avoiding wix or squarespace as I do not want to be locked in to one service. I am going to move forward with wordpress. What is the best hosting solution for a UK based company. I have looked at bluehost, but have also heard people suggesting avoiding EIG? Which hosting solution would be best?

    [HELP] WordPress Theme Multi Page Design

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 03:25 PM PDT

    I feel bad asking this as it's a simple question but, all my search results return tutorials for adding a page to a preexisting theme. I'm looking for how to design a Wordpress theme with multiple pages (index, blog, contact, etc). I am looking how to have these pages already existing, without having to add them in the administrator portal. Sorry for the dumb question.

    Need help creating a persistent variable for a web form (VS2019 html5/css/java with VB code behind)

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 03:06 PM PDT

    I'm struggling with a few aspects of using VS to build web pages. When it comes to variables I have 2 questions.

    1- What takes place in the client side vs server side when variables are being processed? Which is which? Does the VB code behind get processed out at the server and the html/css/java get processed at the users PC?

    2 - In this exercise all I am trying to accomplish is to initialize a variable and then increment it by 1 each time the button is pressed displaying the result.

    The following code does that but the variable is not persistent for the client. When I press the button the variable goes from 1 to 2 but at the next press starts over again at 1. How do I establish some sort of session variable that would survive for as long as the user is on the web site?

    webform1.aspx

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    <%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.vb" Inherits="SIMPLE_VARIABLE_PASS_2.WebForm1" %>

    <!DOCTYPE html>

    <html xmlns="\[http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\](http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml)">

    <head runat="server">

    <style type="text/css"> .auto-style1 { position: absolute; top: 79px; left: 185px; z-index: 1; width: 80px; } </style>

    </head>

    <body style="height: 322px">

    <form id="form2" runat="server">

    <!--THIS IS PART OF THE PASSING SETUP I sets up a variable "name" that can be passed to the codebehind VB.NET-->

    <asp:HiddenField ID="HiddenField1" runat="server" />

    <asp:HiddenField ID="Name" runat="server" />

    <script> <!--THIS IS PART OF THE PASSING SETUP --> var name = 1 document.getElementById('<%= Name.ClientID %>').value = name; </script>

    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />

    <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label" CssClass="auto-style1">/asp:Label

    </form>

    </body>

    </html>

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    aspx.vb

    ------------------------------------------------------------

    Public Class WebForm1

    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    End Sub

    Elm: A frontend story that a backend dev can love

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 06:05 AM PDT

    I've got 1 year left to learn something

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 02:42 PM PDT

    College student here. Been devoting this summer to learning HTML and CSS. So far so good.

    Anyways, I've got 1 year left to learn stuff before I do a summer internship in 2020, followed by my graduation later in the fall.

     

    My questions:

    • Should I continue learning frontend skills or should I move to learning backend instead?

    • Im worried that the demand for frontend wont be as high as backend (along with the pay) in the near future. Do you think that's true?

     

    I feel like backend is the future since they incoporate cloud and databases, which seems to be the hottest things in tech right now. Also, apparently you can get into DevOps if you know backend. While learning frontend leaves you stuck in that position I believe.

    • Realistically, is 1 year of learning+practicing (2 hours during weekdays/ 3-4 hours in weekends) enough to be ready for a backend internship? Or should I contunie learning frontend since I already know HTML and CSS?

    IDK what to do, especially since I'm interested in both sides of the spectrum.

    Advice on securing database

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 02:37 PM PDT

    I work in the public sector. Our public department website is built using WordPress. I created a self-service "portal" section using GravityForms as a hacky quick solution for customers to submit simple changes to their cases including supporting file uploads. It takes the info submitted via these forms and emails it to a dedicated mailbox. Management now wants a database created for this. The server is a dedicated Linux box (CentOS) running MariaDB. I will be creating a dedicated web app for this to replace the WordPress/GravityForms solution.

    ​

    Since customers will potentially uploading sensitive information, we need to be able to clear the stored info after a set period. Are there any libraries, best practices or code samples I should look at to help? I'm fairly inexperienced with these types of projects. Language/architecture has not been determined yet.

    Best alternative to google maps for custom map styling and markers?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 02:09 PM PDT

    I have been testing openlayers and while it is good I am feeling a little restricted in design choices without having to make a massive 20mb vector overlay unless I am missing something?

    essentially, I am looking to make something really simple, just block color land, country boarders and block seas, then an option to add destinations either manually as markers or as an array of city's or towns. Openlayers and gmaps both are a bit overloaded with destinations we don't need and manually making maps is becoming a pain to adjust and edit as tours evolve.

    Any suitable free/low budget alternatives or should I just go with gmaps? Or any other ideas all together?

    Best way to store info locally ?

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 02:00 PM PDT

    Hey everyone,

    ​

    I'm creating a simple game with basic HTML & JS. I'd like to be able to keep track of me and my friends' scores and do basic manipulations (average, top, min, etc).

    I tackled the project thinking I could just create a simple .json file in the same directory and have my JS read it straight from my local file system but that is surprisingly difficult to achieve.

    What's the simplest way to make this happen? I'm trying to to launch servers or MongoDB but if I have to, what options do I have?

    Need advice - developing a new website with very little experience

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 05:42 AM PDT

    Hi all. I'm hoping to get some advice as I don't really know where to start.

    • Should I try build this myself, or save myself the headache and find someone to build it for me?

    • What traps/pitfalls should I watch out for?

    • how much (roughly) should I expect to pay someone to build a website like this?

    Website Details below:

    I'm interested in building a website that allows consumers, agents & services/contractors to connect with each other. It's not an original idea, but it's in a niche that is neglected and could be useful for that industry.

    Basically, a consumer could search different types of services/contractors and agents for their needs, by categories and/or do it based on their location. Essentially it's a marketplace of services.

    Consumers can offer a brief for services & contractors to bid on, or contact companies directly for a quote.

    Agents/Services/contractors could search for bids to apply for or contact consumers directly (if a consumer party is open to direct communication).

    All parties would have access to a log-in profile that they would maintain.

    Revenue to be generated through approved contracts.

    My skills: I have very little experience building websites. I have very basic experience in WordPress, design (Photoshop) & html5.

    Looking for suggestions for clients website, needs heavy security with e-com

    Posted: 29 Jul 2019 09:11 AM PDT

    So recently we got a client that needs a website created for medicine and prescriptions. Normally at my job we create websites with WordPress and Elementor but my boss is saying this should be built with static html and css. Security is the main concern here as we need to integrate eCommerce. I have plenty of experience coding websites from the ground up (its how I got started as a developer, I've only been here a few months and they pretty much exclusively use WordPress w/ Elementor, sometimes Tatsu).

    I guess my question is what payment gateway do you all suggest? Something like Stripe? As for managing client data, should we just create like a JSON object with client objects within it to store their information? I'm actually really excited to make this site since I'll finally be able to code something from the ground up.
