| Posted: 05 Aug 2019 12:58 PM PDT Hey guys I'm nearing completion of my html, css, js, Django project that I've been working on this summer and I'm wondering what the next step is. I don't know much about deploying a website but I know that there's a ton of options. Which method would educate me the most on an important technology and also look really good on a resume? I heard docker is sought-after but I'm not sure if it's purpose or usage is for a specific case or not. I've also heard of Digital Ocean but that doesn't seem like it would be as beneficial as docker. I've heard of Jenkins. That sounds like it might be in use today Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Should I go back to school? I want to switch careers from IT to WebDev. Posted: 05 Aug 2019 02:44 PM PDT So I have a 2-year Associates degree in CS from a public school but no bachelors. The focus for the degree was networking and security which helped me get security + certified. Im 32 years old and have a full time job as an l2 helpdesk but decided I'm much more interested in Web development than IT. About a year and half ago I started a full stack JavaScript course through teamtreehouse.com and genuinely enjoy it and have already learned a ton. The course Im going through is project based which had my projects graded and peer-reviewed. Im on the very last part and already have a bunch of completed projects in my GitHub account here: https://github.com/rayzon1. I have a good understanding now of HTML, JavaScript, Node, Express, SQL, NPM, and lots of practice with React. My main question is for people that have switched careers. How did you tailor your resume/GitHub account to get noticed? My work history and education is mainly filled with my 5-6 years of IT experience and 2-year degree/ certification. Im currently working on different projects as well as a portfolio site, which I realize is very important. My resume for webdev education has mainly been teamtreehouse and YouTube. Even if I can showcase my skills with a portfolio/projects, will my lack of proper CS education such as a bachelor in CS close a lot of doors for me? If I wanted to go back to school I would need to quit my job which would be hard for me to do at this time. TLDR: No undergrad CS education. 32 year old adult with 5-6 years IT experience wants to switch careers to webdev. Besides a portfolio site what is the best way to show employers I'm the right person for the job even though I don't have an extended Computer Science background? Will not having a 4-year severely limit my options in the workforce? I live in Silicon valley so lots of CS grads around looking for jobs. Whats the best way to compete with CS graduates in the field? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Help with auto-scaling deployment Posted: 05 Aug 2019 02:10 PM PDT I run a web app with very particular requirements and wanted to ask for help from more experienced devs. What's particular about the app is that the traffic is in general extremely low, at most 2 requests per second so for example a $10/month hosting solution could handle everything without issue. However, when unpredictable events occur, the traffic goes up to 10s or 100s of requests per second. The events are semi-predictable, we only know they can occur in time windows of 10 hours that are fixed in advance (and occur about 3 times a week). We currently use a traditional hosting and handle everything "manually", upgrading the plan at the beginning of these time windows and downgrading back at the end, so at the end of the month we pay a weighted average. Some info: We deploy by updating a docker image, a container takes about 3 seconds to start. A request takes about .2 seconds normally, but on the peaks we need to compute several things, so this goes up to about .7 (this is quite optimized and we do not plan to optimize further at the moment). About .2 (resp .1) out of this time is spent on writing to (resp. reading from) a relational database. The peaks extend for about 2 minutes, and on average we have 30 peaks/week. Now we're thinking on moving to something that scales automatically like AWS elastic beanstalk, but we have some questions:

| Should project management be part of developing? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 05:20 AM PDT I'm interested in what everyone's take is on the project management aspect of development, and more specifically agency development. I'm fairly new to the agency that I'm working for, but had the exact same experience at my previous agency, in that it's expected for me as a developer to manage my projects single-handedly. Management tasks such as all client communication and scheduling of work seems to be something that is more commonly falling into the realm of what is expected from a developer now (at least from my experience). Should this be a task for developers as it helps them to have more background to the project they're working on and a better relationship with the client, or is it a distraction from what should be a development-only role?

| Posted: 05 Aug 2019 04:26 PM PDT I run a small agency, we build e-commerce themes (Shopify, WooCommerce, etc). I am the only developer. I have other people who take care of design and content. Recently my brother has been in need of work, and I have really been in need of help. There's too much work to handle on my own these days. I said I could offer him work on an "as needed" basis, but he'd need to learn (he's never done anything code related). Now, in my mind, HTML & CSS is dead simple, but I have been doing this for so long its hard to tell if 1-2 weeks is enough time... I sent him a bunch of resources. He's followed along over the past 2 weeks and he's covered HTML, CSS, Scss, Flexbox, media queries, etc... The basics. I have been very busy and haven't had time to teach him in person or review his work, but that'll be the next step. We have the mockups prepped and all I want him to do is provide the html / css. Then I will plug it all in & make it work. The reason for the short learning process is I have a bunch of deadlines coming up. And pretty soon I will be away for a week. I want to get him started before I'm gone, that way I can be there to answer any questions. Working in a theme will be a lot more confusing than what he's currently doing. He'll also need to learn git and some pm tools. All in all, am I expecting too much? He's a smart guy, but he says it's a little confusing for him still. I think he can handle it. Am I rushing this too much? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Learn HTML5 - Semantics - For Complete Beginners Posted: 05 Aug 2019 04:01 PM PDT Hey guys! I just completed the final video i'll be making for my "Learn HTML5" video series. This video is all about semantics, what they are, why they're important, and how to use them. Hopefully by the end of the video you'll have a solid understand of what I've set out to teach. If you haven't checked out the video series I invite you to watch. Hope this helps you guys out there! You can find the video here: [link] [comments]  | ||
| Question on API keys(visibility to client) Posted: 05 Aug 2019 03:37 PM PDT This is a "I'm having an episode of amnesia" moment Just wanted to ask, if you're pulling an environment variable and using that on your app, is it visible to the client then? Like when you make a request(axios - compare to your api vs. third party api) and you send a key as a parameter... I'm not talking about public/secret keys either, just a key that is supposed to be secret. Then compare this with back end communicating with a server, this is not visible to the client at all right?(Unless they're monitoring wifi traffic maybe like wireshark) Anyway ontop of this, if you have SSL "is it fine" at least for back end but what about client side regarding what I mentioned above? Thanks for any clarification [link] [comments]  | ||
| How to prevent spam email from reaching you? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 09:39 AM PDT Hi, I receive multiple spam emails a day on my website. I didn't do anything to receive that :( Here are the ways people can reach me on my website :
I'm sure the problem is the mailto or the form or both, but how do I prevent bots spamming me while keeping the overall design of my website intact? thank you [link] [comments]  | ||
| Custom CSS editing on Cargo Collective Posted: 05 Aug 2019 03:33 PM PDT Hi, I'm primarily a designer and artist and very very new to web coding, so decided to begin by basing my site in a builder - specifically cargo collective. My very unfinished site can be viewed right now at https://rowanaspinall.cargo.site . I'm attempting to add a drop down menu to one of the nav bar headings (specifically the one that says Works) on the right, containing all of my various artistic practices e.g. illustrations, album covers, etc). When using the CSS editor a preview on the left of the site can be shown, and with my limited knowledge I managed to create a mouse-hover set of subheadings to form the foundation of the drop-down menu that can be seen here. However when previewing the site with this code applied in the link previous, no hovering menu can be seen what-so-ever. To create the dropdown menu I've been attempting to use this tutorial here on w3schools . My ideal final outcome is a dropdown that moves the other navigation elements down to display the text with a minimal and satisfying transition animation. I just wanted to see if anyone had any experience in editing this site builder and could maybe see where I've gone wrong and give any pointers about how to fix / build this menu. Many thanks, Rowan [link] [comments]  | ||
| trigger window.onload before images have loaded? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 03:32 PM PDT any way to allow window.onload to be triggered before the sites images are loaded? or perhaps preload them in index.html so they are cached for use in other pages? just to make my site as fast as possible.

| Why to me, Mac is better for web dev than Windows Posted: 05 Aug 2019 03:25 PM PDT Before calling me a Mac fan boy, hear me out please. I recently made the switch to Windows in order to better utilize my gaming PC. After a few days of learning and setting things up, I came up with the conclusion that certain things are just objectively better on Mac.
I never realized how unasssumingly good Mac is at web development until I switched to Windows. A lot of things I took for granted in Mac, are not even natively supported in Windows. Even after hours of configuration, Windows still falls short in a lot of areas. If you think some of what I said is wrong, please provide your feedback. I would love to be proficient on both platforms. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Are Apache Log File Time Stamps UTC? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 02:36 PM PDT I've been looking through the access logs in At least some appear to be UTC judging by the time the log was accessed and the timestamp shown for the most recent entries. Is this the standard timezone for all log entries, or is there anything conditional which might change the timezone shown in the timestamp? I tried to Google search this but was sifting through too many pages to find a suitable answer, so I apologize if this seems like an "FAQ". [link] [comments]  | ||
| Am I allowed to use an http endpoint of another website for my website? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 02:34 PM PDT I want to allow users to search SoundCloud for some audios but on my website instead of theirs. I looked at SoundCloud's network request in Chrome's dev tools and I see they make this request when a user searches for content. I tried to call it from my website, but I received the following error (which makes sense):
So I made my own server that calls this API and it works great. Basically here's what would happen:
I tried asking SoundCloud but I doubt they'll respond anytime soon. (SoundCloud stopped giving API keys a while back but I used their key in this example.) I worry that this is illegal or something. So my question is: Am I allowed to do this? [link] [comments]  | ||

| Question about Using PUT for resource properties Posted: 05 Aug 2019 02:15 PM PDT Let's say that I have a resource /users/2343. If I update the property "email" on it, then I want certain processes to be triggered. Additionally, let's say that there are a large number of properties on this user resource and that there are a few different properties that will trigger these processes when updated. For simplicity, I would like an endpoint that just updates these individual properties and isn't thrown together with all the other ones (largely to keep the logic simpler). I was wondering if there is a correct way to do this with a PUT or if I just have to buckle down and use a PATCH. For reference, I want to do something like this PUT /users/2343/email { "value": "me@example.com" } instead of something like this PATCH /users/2343 { "email": "me@example.com" } Is this a good idea? Or does it violate a bunch of best practices? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Beginner Here - Post Deleted from /web_design Posted: 05 Aug 2019 01:49 PM PDT Hello All, Goal: I want to build a custom site for personal purposes that will hopefully become a business after it gains traction. It is for a proposed media group that will include cinematography, photography, graphic design, music, and technology consulting. Like the artistic version of Linus Tech Tips. My Background: I have experience using WordPress for the sake of running and maintaining a blog that sold DJI items and earned a commission through various affiliate programs, but I did a minimal amount of coding. I have also constructed a few easy websites through services such as Yola and Squarespace. Why I'm Posting: I have several questions and need some overall guidance for this process. Should I wireframe the idea? What should I use to build this? What code should I learn? I am simply looking for consulting and would love some help. I hope this doesn't break any of the rules, as I am not soliciting or trying to promote anything. Thanks [link] [comments]  | ||
| How should I host my Vue + Express site? Posted: 05 Aug 2019 01:49 PM PDT This is my first time developing a web app. I have experience in desktop and mobile development, but I'm looking for some help on what to do with this web app. I have a VueJS front-end combined with an Express Node back-end. Up to this point, I've been testing locally against a Glitch back-end, but now I'd like to upgrade. I just subscribed to Vultr for a really basic server ($3.50/month tier). I've got Node installed there and I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing in regards to the back-end. Here are my questions -
I'm not looking for how-tos or anything like that, just a general idea on what the goal is. I find sometimes in web dev that there's so many options, I'm not sure where to start, or what things are even called. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Looking for recommendations on checking for 404's on a site redesign Posted: 05 Aug 2019 09:50 AM PDT Does anyone have recommendations on a tool that can test for 404's before taking a new version of a site live. Basically, I have a lot of instances where we help people implement a redesigned site. I'd like to test the live site's sitemap against the staging site to make sure everything resolves correctly before switching the domain. Currently, I just generate a sitemap for each and compare missing or altered domains, but it would be much easier if a tool like this existed. [link] [comments]  |
