| PSA: Being "Self-Taught" is not a reason to not know basic programming terminology. Posted: 29 Aug 2019 11:01 AM PDT Been doing interviews for the past two months and I've heard this line so many times I can't even count. It's an automatic disqualification. It's something junior devs tell themselves to make themselves feel better. One has no bearing on the other. I and many other developers are self taught and we spent the time to read and learn the language of our chosen profession. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Front end JavaScript. How much do I really need to know? Posted: 28 Aug 2019 09:10 PM PDT So I'm looking at a career change in the next 2/3 years and I really want to go into web development. I'm fairly comfortable with html and CSS (some googling required ofc). I have started learning JS, I've completed a sololearn course and have been reading through ws3, mdn and now freecodecamp doing some of the challenges. What are the main things that I would be using in front end development? The amount to actually read through is quite overwhelming! Also what other things that are necessary to learn? I'm based in the UK if that makes any difference. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 29 Aug 2019 07:28 AM PDT I think we've all seen the RichTM talk on Rethinking Reactivity by now. I listen to the usual podcasts (syntax, js jabber, shop talk, real talk js, etc.) on the way home. I hear svelte mentioned more and more, but it's always in a side note. Like, the main discussion is on react hooks and someone comments about how "we're gonna be using svelte next year anyway". I can't discern if these comments are facetious or not. So here it is. Are we seeing svelte being taken seriously? Do we expect to see uptake in it's usage? Are we going to start seeing job posts for svelte in '20? When we look at vue we see huge usage numbers, github stars, etc., and yet you're gonna need a lot of luck finding a job for vue vs react. What say you? [link] [comments]  | ||
| How to determine which unnecessary javascript is being loaded onto a page? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 12:06 PM PDT good morning everyone, so, I have the task to determine on a given site if any code can be removed (JavaScript). They are third-party scripts so I don't think I can remove any of the code inside the scripts, but I'd like to determine if I can remove any of the scripts, or at least not load them on the pages they are not being used. Is that possible, is there any tool to help me on this? thank you beforehand [link] [comments]  | ||
| Devs & Recruiters: What's the best way to showcase a portfolio/projects on your resume or portfolio? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 01:44 PM PDT I've been learning web dev lately and I'm starting to prepare my portfolio. This question came to mind and I've made some research and haven't found any conclusive info that might narrow it down, so far I can conclude you need:
But is that like all there is? how do you show it? I come from a design background and I'm used to show everything in a design-y way, that means a project brief and goals, images showing process, if needed some extra text and maybe a link in the project description, is that the way too with webdev? do you show your progress somehow?
Lastly and most important: Do you have examples? If you have an example that comes to mind, please share it! [link] [comments]  | ||
| My friend and I are building a visual backend builder. Would you use it? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 11:30 AM PDT Hi folks, We have a simple landing page. We would like to know whether there's a need for such a product. The way we came to this idea was that we have been creating different projects for the last ~2 months. We noticed that every time we were building almost identical backend solutions with Google Cloud platform. And we were spending literally days building these solutions. Would you use something like this? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 29 Aug 2019 06:54 AM PDT I work at a place that builds static websites to give businesses an online presence. Each dev builds about a site per day. The average salary for "Front End Developers" in Utah is $87,918 according to indeed.com. Our devs make about half that. Is that normal in your experience? I assume that average is so high because generally front end devs are working on web apps. I'm just curious to see if we're underpaid or if pretty much everyone doing this kind of work is in the same boat. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Do you charge for website maintenace? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 12:23 PM PDT Hi all, I was just wondering how people handle maintenance and updates of sites and apps? Code will naturally rot with new versions and evolving frameworks and operating systems, obviously the ideal is to keep stuff up to date but in my experience many clients won't want to pay for this outside of a relatively small figure for hosting. Do you charge for keeping sites up to date? Do you have a written contract for it? What about things that may need manual testing such as sending contact forms and the like? Thanks!

| Interview in the morning for a PHP dev role, what have I missed these last few years? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 03:25 PM PDT I started my career in software engineering as a PHP developer about 8 years ago using (I think) PHP 5 when PDO was the "next big buzzword" (words straight from my former bosses mouth). I worked that position for 2 years and moved to .net shops and have been a happy C# code monkey ever sense. Due to a ton of personal and managerial reasons, I have an interview tomorrow morning for a PHP development position and I'm curious: what have I missed? I feel I can confidentiality fill the roll and my web dev skills are well above par but there's a massive difference between the two languages and I haven't exactly avidly kept up. Are there any common popular ORMs running around like .NET has? Any new frameworks I should be aware of? Any must have tooling that has changed the game these last 5 years? Any tips on switching between the two from a code architecting standpoint? I imagine that my ability to take data from point a and shove it into point b as fast as possible while juggling a decent user experience is the only real skillet needed to tranfer, but I would like to be as informed as possible.

| Looking for very minimal, 1-page, left-hand nav template Posted: 29 Aug 2019 11:14 AM PDT I want to have a very minimal GitHub pages site where I can just have my info, basic contact, and link to download my CV. Left-hand nav, one page, maybe one picture but 0 is fine too. I don't have a bunch of fancy photos to add like in the html5up templates, and I don't need to blog on it. Just a plain Jane website where people can find out what I do and how to contact me. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||
| What do you want to see in a Scope of Work? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 02:51 PM PDT What details do you need from a client when outlining a scope of work? Does anyone have templates or examples of excellent documentation you would be able to share? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Anyone else have to drop a client because of poor communication on the clients part? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 10:55 AM PDT TLDR: I took on a customer that runs a nonprofit that I ultimately had to drop because they turned a simple project into an incredibly long headache. I made $0 and wasted time that's ultimately not billable until the projects completion. ——————————————————————————- About 4.5 months ago I had a prospective web design customer reach out to me seeking to refresh their website, as well as add PayPal Pro integration. It was for a charity, so I offered them a low price ($15ph) and told them I would work with them on cost. I didn't request any down payment or deposit either. The site they wanted designed/built was simple enough. It only needed about 4 pages with a very limited amount of content. I suggested Wordpress in combination with the Elementor Pro site builder, which I already had 1000 licenses for. The most complicated part was the PayPal integration, which still shouldn't have been too complicated. The job turned out to be incredibly complicated, purely because communication with them was drawn out over extended amounts of time due to lack of response to my requests for access/information. The site design part was easy, was ultimately finished in a week. I got the design hashed out and they approved, so now it was time to set up PayPal integration. This is where it went off the rails. They slacked on purchasing the PayPal pro extension for WooCommerce or getting back to me for about two months. Once they purchased it, they kept sending me a link that required login, but no credentials. I explained several times that I needed either credentials, or for them to download and email me the files, but still kept receiving the same email from them (it was essentially a shortcut to the login screen but still no credentials). It took an additional 2 weeks to get past this hurtle alone. Now for PayPal Pro. For obvious reasons I didn't have direct access to their PayPal account, which was fine. I provided them links and explanations in detail of what needed to be done to set up the pro account and what I would need to complete the integration. More delays, more prolonged waiting for responses. Finally, the PayPal pro account was established and I was provided credentials. Unfortunately, once I got logged in there was no way to access API information. So again, back to trying to get this information from them. I sent a detailed email with exactly what I needed, along with an attached screenshot, and suggested they contact PayPal support if they have trouble obtaining the information. This brings us to today. I received an email back in response saying that they felt this had become tedious and that they think it's because there's a problem with PayPal. I explained that it wasn't an issue, more of an access control/security issue due to it being their account, not mine. I went on to explain that if it were me setting this up for my own account, it wouldn't be an issue at all. So they respond again, trying to confirm that all was resolved. Obviously it wasn't as they hadn't provided me any of the information I had requested regarding the API. I reaffirmed that it was not and that I still needed that information to continue. So he responds to this asking what I need, even though his response (which has our previous replies in the email thread visible in the very same response) already has my detailed explanation of what is needed and even has the screenshot still attached. At this point I told him I'll have to bow out of the project. Something that should have taken a month, has turned in to an enormous prolonged headache. I wished him the best and pressed send. I hated having to drop the job, as I really need the money right now, but it just didn't feel like it was worth the headache. I ultimately made exactly $0 off the project. [link] [comments]  | ||

| How to Redirect a Web Page with Node.js? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 02:08 PM PDT I installed a php forum on my website, but it doesn't work. I contacted my hosting company and they said "You have the subfolder forum where you have some php application." and that I need to redirect. I have no idea how to do this. Customer service gave me this link: https://www.w3docs.com/snippets/nodejs/how-to-redirect-a-web-page-with-node-js.html Which I think I understand enough, however, I have no idea where to put the code in. This is what the files look like for the site: one & two Or, can I simply move the subfolder? As well, since I'm here, can I tie in the forum with the SQL database so that it's the same log in for both the website and the forum? How "hard" is that and it is something an old fogey like myself can do? Thank you, [link] [comments]  | ||

| How do I assign an action based on the value of a row in my DB w/ sessions? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 01:30 PM PDT Completely new to PHP here, so on my website I'd like a specific image to appear according to whether or not the user in my DB has a row called 'premium', with a value of 1. I've tried figuring it out on my own but I'm stuck. I watched a video of someone doing something similar so this is what I have currently, but I'm aware it's totally incorrect. //init.php file [link] [comments]  | ||
| How to test "raw" server speed? Posted: 29 Aug 2019 12:18 PM PDT One of my clients is complaining that their WordPress site runs super slow (which is true), but I'm almost positive the issue is with their hosting plan, not the setup of our site. Is there a script or tool I can install on their server to check the "raw" speed of the site that doesn't involve the WordPress site at all? Perhaps a JS script or something PHP-based simpler than WordPress? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 29 Aug 2019 11:45 AM PDT I am building a Chrome Extension and trying to integrate paddle (User Monthly Subscription Management Platform) with my chrome extension using their Api? But the Issue I am having is that the Api don't have a code in js to integrate it in the chrome extension? I want to create free version (with Limitation), a paid monthly version & a lifetime version. But their is a Chrome Extension that has done it? https://www.indiehackers.com/forum/anyone-using-paddle-for-subscriptions-experiences-7d0c5fe4f6 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19499495 Paddle Developer Api So can you please give me some guideline?
