    I’ve applied to tons of jobs, heard nothing back, noped out of some corporate hellholes, but at long last, it’s official; I’m a web developer now.

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 12:32 PM PDT

    Basically the title. It's pretty crazy. Last summer, my wife and I talked about me making a massive change in my career. I wasn't sure if the web dev life was for me, but figured I'd stick with it and try my hardest. Ended up loving it.

    Fast forward to the end of last year, I started applying to jobs and got plenty of no's or got entirely ghosted. I even did a few interviews where I just left thinking "this place is sketchy as fuck." That was the hardest part. Feeling like you need the experience or a foot in the door, but knowing that accepting the role would mean turning into a zombie for the corporate machine.

    I really wasn't sure what to do, and I was starting to give up hope, but 2 weeks ago, I got called in by one of the biggest start ups in town (though being an international company now they're no longer on a "start up" level these days), did 5 interviews with various teams and people in the company, did a coding challenge and apparently they liked what they saw.

    Got a full time junior role, they're super happy to have me, their team and the company is great, so I'm super stoked as well.

    It's funny. Last year when I started out, I used to tell my wife "who knows, one day I might be working for those guys when I sort of know how to do this stuff" and they just ended up being the first company to offer me a job. Crazy how the world works sometimes. Got some big time imposter syndrome, but if they're seeing the potential in myself, I should probably dig in deep and find it myself.

    Just wanted to share!

    If you got tips for a new guy who's never done this professionally, I'd love to hear them.

    What are the absolute technical essentials a modern front end developer needs to know these days?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 02:38 PM PDT

    I've been doing front end for a few years, but living pretty much in static website land. Nothing complex.

    I know that web apps are huge now, so I need to make sure when I apply for jobs down the road, I'm totally prepared. Currently, I don't think I am.

    Technically speaking, what are the absolute must haves to be considered a good modern front end developer these days?

    I've looked at job postings, and they're all over the place. If we could get a list of absolute essentials, it wouldn't just help me, but others too.

    How much syntax am I expected to memorize?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 03:12 PM PDT

    Hey guys. I've been doing Colt Steele's Web Development course on Udemy for 2 weeks now and I was wondering, how much am I expected to memorize as far as method syntax? Is it okay if I don't memorize all the method syntax and Google stuff as I encounter problems while working on projects?

    Apologize if this sounds like a stupid question. I don't really know how things are like in a job environment and if it's alright to Google something as simple as a specific method syntax.

    Web Application Structure

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 03:45 PM PDT

    I just became the first developer at a new company.

    Was setting up a new environment for the start of our project and wanted to come to reddit for a point of discussion.

    This is a central app, in ASP.Net Core(MVC)/Razor, that we are going to be adding smaller applications within, which I've done before in a Transportation Management System.

    My boss wanted to structure the repo with one parent solution, and sub projects. The only way I've done applications like this is to have the One Parent Solution, one Project, and just make sub folders under that. Instead of having multiple projects in one solution. Having to route between projects, etc. Seems like a pain to me.

    What are your opinions?

    Thanks in advance!

    A solid theoretical and practical introduction to web technologies, frontend and backend?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 03:25 PM PDT

    I'm looking for thorough, methodical introduction to web development and web technologies in general, but only the stuff that actually matters for (both front- and back-end) development. I'm an experienced programmer (embedded C, C++; Python) and somewhat familiar with the basic concepts of web, but I'm trying to see the bigger picture and obtain in-depth knowledge of all aspects of full-stack development.

    Some of the things I want to learn about:

    • basic communication between the client and server (HTTP requests and such, but I don't want to delve much deeper into the network stack if I don't have to)
    • web server basics (path translation, ...), DNS stuff, load balancing, multiple servers for one website - I want to have at least a high-level insight into how all of this stuff works
    • front-end basics: a refresher on HTML5, CSS (I haven't used either for a while), AJAX, modern Javascript + frameworks
    • basics on sharing and updating state between the frontend and backend, strategies, etc
    • backend architecture (what goes into a backend and how it comes together - business logic, database, CDN, ...)
    • writing APIs (REST, webhooks, websockets, etc.) and use cases for different approaches
    • introduction to backend programming (Node.js preferred)

    I'm probably wrong about the importance of some of the stuff listed above, but you get the gist of what I need.

    Please recommend books / tutorials on these subjects. I'm used to both formal and theoretical CS books and informal tutorials, as long as it's informative - I want to read it.

    I tried looking myself, but all I seem to find are tutorials on specific technologies (like nginx or vue or express). Sure, I'll learn to use some specific technologies along the way, but I want to understand the concepts first.

    For self-taught web dev, it seems to me that the way to get a job is to show them what you know, what your skills are.

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 05:26 AM PDT

    I learned somewhere that the way for a self-taught web dev, to get a job is to show them what you know, what your skills are, through an attractive portfolio, which will show the employer your skills.

    The question is:

    Where to put such a portfolio? on GitHub or a live version of them?

    AdminLTE topnav layout - long menus get cut off above the footer

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 02:38 PM PDT

    I am trying to redesign/mod/hack the web control panel for pi-hole (that uses AdminLTE), trying to use the example code that they provide for a drop down top nav menu, here. That seems to be working well.

    However, as the menu is longer than some of the pages, it gets cut off. Screenshots

    I'm not sure what I should be looking at to make the pages a certain height, or longer if required. Also not sure if this is the best place to ask.

    Loads missed out as I don't know what to include or not, like the css that seems to be related but not do anything when changed.

    ✩ Wikipedia's JavaScript initialisation on a budget

    It's 2019 and apparently I still can't use my language's alphabet in URLs

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 03:04 AM PDT

    Hello !

    This is a little rant and I apologize for it.

    I released a site recently, in French. Its blog posts and pages are all in French and will always be. They have slugs.

    In Django, I enabled the "allow-unicode" flag of the slugfield, which lets us have pages like "mentions-légales". This displays correctly as long as I'm browsing.

    Unfortunately, Firefox and Django are only hiding the truth. As soon as I copy the URL out of my address bar, the it will read "/mentions-l%C3%A9gales/".

    So my client asked me what any client would, to remove the ability to use accented characters in urls and dumb them down to ASCII.

    I don't know exactly what it would take for this system to be fixed, and I can't say I understand how url encoding works, but as a user, I find it very frustrating. Words without accents don't have the same meaning, and these characters do not represent the same sounds.

    There is no reason for users of other languages than english to have a significantly worse experience when trying to use their alphabets.

    [Edit] So according to this comment, the issue is that DNS servers don't accept unicode yet, so the webserver and browser have to do some back-and-forth encoding between ASCII and Unicode.

    Wordpress unused css ?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 01:11 PM PDT

    I am not an expert. Pagespeed tells me to remove the unused CSS from my site. I have minified and combined it via WP Rocket, afterwards I removed(unloaded) all CSS and JS that is not ruining my website and is loaded via WP Asset CleanUp(free). I did a test via DevTools, but can't determine how to fix it. Here's a screenshot(and my website): https://i.imgur.com/HUQmKaZ.jpg

    “Network Error” with Axios and DjangoREST but request succeeds at the end

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 12:25 PM PDT

    So, I am using ReactJS and DjangoRESTframework to build my app.
    Now..when I send a request with Postman it works perfectly(ex. 127.0.0.1:8000/api/users/
    GET request) and when I try to do it in React with Axios I get a network error but on my local development server console I see that it succeeded.

    This is my get request with axios in react:

    componentDidMount() { axios.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/users/', { headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json' } }) .then(res => { console.log(res.data); }).catch(err => { console.log(err); }) }

    And I get an Network Error. But as I said with Postman it works.

    One more example is that I send POST request with Axios to http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/users/
    and as response I get Network Error as well but on my backend, user IS created.

    This is code for my POST request with axios:

    let formData = new FormData(); formData.set('email', this.state.emailField); formData.set('username', this.state.usernameField); formData.set('password', this.state.passwordField); axios({ method: 'POST', data: formData, url: 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/users/', config: {headers: {'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'}} }).then(request => { console.log(request.data); }).catch(err => { console.log(err); })

    I googled for about an hour to fix this but nothing helps.

    Is the "scroll to top" button still relevant?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 11:59 AM PDT

    Considering that many (most?) modern browsers have the option of scrolling back to the top either as a standard feature or an add-on if the user chooses, is it worth baking it into a website anymore?

    which language would get this done?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 11:49 AM PDT

    hello, i'm a complete beginner looking to make an app that acts as some sort of a hub for shop owners and vendors where shop owners can browse all companies delivering to their area and search for the best offer for peanut butter (for example) and order a certain number of the item. the said company would receive the order and send one of their delivery vehicles. i've been researching on which language would allow me to build such an app from scratch and flutter looks really attractive. appreciate any feedback.

    How do I implement rate limiting on my API endpoints?

    Posted: 19 Sep 2019 11:15 AM PDT

    For example, I have a forum where user can create posts. If the user uses something like cURL or postman softwares, they can send multiple requests to create hundreds, if not thousands of spam posts.

    How do I implement a rate limiting protection on my API? Do I have to track each users number of requests to that endpoint within a certain amount of time?
